What we do
Merantix
transforms how businesses, healthcare organizations, and governments
operate by building products that apply machine intelligence to their
enterprise datasets. We acquire datasets that enable promising products,
incubate those products, and spin off ventures to support their growth.
We take advantage of three core competencies: Our experience applying
machine learning, our expertise fostering enterprise partnerships to
assemble vast datasets, and our culture of rapidly iterating to build
scalable products.
Our projects are meaningful and diverse. Currently we work on:
-
Automated medical image diagnosis
-
Financial models for automated trading on new markets
-
Deep neural networks used for autonomous driving
As
our current ventures progressively grow mature and become more
independent, we will look into new industries such as satellite imagery,
pharmaceutical drugs, industrial IoT and automated manufacturing.
Our
team is made up of entrepreneurs, scientists, and engineers from
premier universities around the world. Many of us have PhDs and work
experience at top tech companies. We’re based in Europe’s startup
capital, Berlin, and are growing quickly!

-
Backend experience with Clojure and the JVM
The preferred qualifications are just that: preferred. If a few of these points apply to you, we definitely want to talk!
Working at Merantix
Our
hierarchy is flat and communication direct, which means that we operate
and learn fast, as a team. You are a great fit for our team if this
describes you:
-
Entrepreneurial mindset: Creative, focused, and not easily discouraged
-
An ability to work in a fast-paced environment where continuous innovation is occurring and ambiguity is the norm.
-
Excellent technical and analytical problem-solving skills
-
Structured work style to develop effective solutions with minimal oversight
-
Analyze and solve problems at their root, stepping back to understand the broader context
-
Strong organizational and multitasking skills with ability to balance competing priorities
-
Excellent
communication (verbal and written) and interpersonal skills and an
ability to effectively communicate with both business and technical
teams.
-
Love what you do (and own it)
In addition to a competitive salary and equity package, you can expect the following:
Work-life balance:
Some
of us come in during regular business hours, and some of us prefer to
start later or earlier. Occasionally, we work from home in the mornings
or evenings rather than in the office. We don’t track vacation time,
and expect you to take time off as you need it. And while the
infrequent unavoidable deadline may demand extraordinary effort, we
value our evenings and weekends and overtime is the exception, not the
rule. Just ask one of our founders, a father of two.
Professional Development:
We
want each employee to attend at least one professional conference each
year. Last year our entire machine learning engineering team attended
NIPS and ICCV. This year, our web (and Clojure) team will attend
ClojuTRE in Helsinki. We make major contributions to the open source
community. For machine learning, we have a weekly paper reading group to
stay up on current research.
Collaborative Culture:
We have regular outings and team dinners. If you want to participate, that’s great! And if you don’t, that’s fine too.
We
are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all
applications equally regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion,
sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital
status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage
individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply,
and we can help with immigration.
