Summary Generated by Built In

From Europe, for Europe – we are building the leading business AI.

We are Cologne's fastest-growing AI start-up.

SMEs benefit when internal knowledge becomes immediately usable and intelligent agents can respond to it. We believe in a future where business AI – including agents within amber and other platforms – works on a shared context layer, enabling teams to work faster, handoffs to be seamless, and expertise to remain within the company.

 
Your Tasks
  • You integrate, fine-tune, and deploy multimodal models (vision & language) that directly improve product quality, speed, and scalability

  • You evaluate and benchmark frontier models on industry-specific datasets to ensure they perform where it matters for our users strategies

  • You have hands-on experience using AI in your everyday life inlcuding image generation, code generation classification, etc.

  • You are fluent in English and German

  • You have published papers at international conferences or journals about deep neural networks and their applications

Nice to have: You already had the chance of taking on the challenges of an AI-based B2B startup

Your Benefits
  • Team offsites – Since you will be working in an international team, we all meet twice a year somewhere in Europe

  • Attractive and performance-based remuneration with big fixed and additional variable. In addition, we reward outstanding employees with company shares, allowing them to participate directly in the company's success

  • Start at a company that lets you grow – whether you want to develop your skills in the field or learn new ones

  • We promote your personal development through further training and room for personal responsibility
