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!

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. We make major contributions to the open source
community. 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.
