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
- Deep neural networks used for autonomous driving
- A solutions unit which develops AI strategy and applications across industries, on a project basis
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!
Job
Are
you passionate about developing impactful applications of machine
learning? Does the prospect of dealing with complex problems in
different fields excite you? Do you want to play an instrumental role in

competence in 2 of the following and a demonstrated interest in the
other: Applied machine learning, software engineering, and product
development
Preferred qualifications:
- MS or PhD in computer science, machine learning, or related technical field
- Experience with
one or more of the following technologies: Google Cloud Platform,
TensorFlow, Apache Beam, Google Cloud ML, or Docker
- Industry experience working with machine learning frameworks, large-scale data processing systems, or cloud infrastructure
- Significant industry experience developing enterprise or data products

The preferred
qualifications are just that: preferred. None of us walked in with all
of them. 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. 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.
