Senior / Principal Research Scientist – Core AI Algorithms (Autonomous Systems)Location: Germany (Remote-first within Germany, on-site in Frankfurt every 2–4 weeks)About the RoleWe are partnering with a global automotive OEM building a core AI research and algorithm team responsible for the foundational intelligence behind next-generation automated driving systems.This role is research-driven and sits upstream of product teams. The focus is on inventing, validating, and transitioning new perception and world-modeling algorithms from research into production-ready systems. The team operates similarly to a big-tech research lab, but with a clear path to real-world deployment.Research Focus AreasDepending on background and interest, you may work on topics such as:3D scene understanding and world modelingOccupancy, motion forecasting, and dynamic scene reconstructionMulti-sensor perception (camera, LiDAR, radar)Representation learning for autonomous systems (BEV, implicit / generative 3D, Gaussian models, foundation models)Robustness, generalization, and long-tail perceptionLearning under weak, sparse, or noisy supervisionBridging offline training with real-world deployment constraintsKey ResponsibilitiesConduct original research in perception and autonomous systems with clear technical ownershipDesign and prototype novel algorithms and learning frameworksPublish at or contribute toward top-tier conferences and journals (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICRA, IROS)Translate research ideas into scalable, production-oriented implementationsCollaborate with applied ML, systems, and hardware teams to ensure feasibilityShape the long-term technical roadmap of the core AI organizationMentor junior researchers and engineers where appropriateRequired BackgroundPhD (or equivalent research experience) in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related fieldStrong publication record at top-tier conferences or journalsExperience conducting research within an industrial or applied settingExcellent understanding of modern deep learning methods and 3D perceptionStrong programming skills in Python and/or C Ability to work across the full spectrum from theory to implementationStrongly PreferredResearch experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or embodied AIWork on 3D perception, tracking, SLAM, or world modelsExperience at big-tech research labs, industrial AI labs, or advanced OEM R&DFamiliarity with real-world constraints such as runtime, memory, and system integrationPrior collaboration with product or engineering teamsWhat’s on OfferA research-first role with real influence on production systemsThe opportunity to define core algorithms, not just incremental improvementsA team culture that values publications, patents, and long-term thinkingRemote-first working model within Germany, with regular in-person collaboration in FrankfurtCompetitive compensation aligned with senior / principal research profilesWho This Role Is ForResearchers who want their work to ship into real vehiclesIndustry researchers seeking greater technical ownershipPhD-level candidates who enjoy both publishing and buildingProfiles combining academic depth with practical engineering maturityLooking forward to seeing your profile!

Training Infrastructure Engineer Salary: €80,000 to €150,000 equity Location: Fully remote within Europe (CET ±2 hours) Stage: Recently funded Series A AI startup We are partnering with a fast-growing generative AI company building the next generation of creative tooling. Their platform generates hyper-realistic sound, speech, and music directly from video, effectively bringing silent content to life. The technology is already being used across gaming, video platforms, and creator ecosystems, with a clear ambition to become foundational infrastructure for audio-visual storytelling. Backed by top-tier venture capital and fresh Series A funding, the company is now scaling its core engineering group. This is a chance to join at a point where the technical challenges are deep, the scope is wide, and individual impact is unmistakable. The Role:As a Training Infrastructure Engineer, you will own and evolve the full model training stack. This is a hands-on, systems-level role focused on making large-scale training fast, reliable, and efficient. You will work close to the hardware and close to the models, shaping how cutting-edge generative systems are trained and iterated. What You Will Do:Design and evaluate optimal training strategies including parallelism approaches and precision trade-offs across different model sizes and workloadsProfile, debug, and optimise GPU workloads at single and multi-GPU level, using low-level tooling to understand real hardware behaviourImprove the entire training pipeline end to end, from data storage and loading through distributed training, checkpointing, and loggingBuild scalable systems for experiment tracking, model and data versioning, and training insightsDesign, deploy, and maintain large-scale training clusters orchestrated with SLURMWhat We Are Looking For:Proven experience optimising training and inference workloads through hands-on implementation, not just theoryDeep understanding of GPU memory hierarchy and compute constraints, including the gap between theoretical and practical performanceStrong intuition for memory-bound vs compute-bound workloads and how to optimise for eachExpertise in efficient attention mechanisms and how their performance characteristics change at scaleNice to Have:Experience writing custom GPU kernels and integrating them into PyTorchBackground working with diffusion or autoregressive modelsFamiliarity with high-performance storage systems such as VAST or large-scale object storageExperience managing SLURM clusters in production environmentsWhy This Role:Join at a pivotal growth stage with fresh funding and strong momentumGenuine ownership and autonomy from day one, with direct influence over technical directionCompetitive salary and equity so you share in the upside you help createWork on technology that is redefining how creators produce and experience contentIf you want to operate at the intersection of deep systems engineering and frontier generative AI, this is one of the strongest opportunities in the European market right now.
