Why us?

This role is not just a job; it's a dynamic opportunity at the forefront of AI technology, offering significant personal and professional growth.

A Unique Opportunity for Growth & Impact

• You'll Be a Builder: We are a fast-moving startup, and you will join a team where you will have immediate ownership and impact, tackling challenging problems from the ground up. Your work will directly contribute to a world-leading technology and our future success.   
• You'll Shape the Future of AI: Our mission is to make AI trustworthy and ethical. This is a core challenge that will shape the future, and you will be supporting the brilliant minds who are solving it. You will be at the cutting edge of a crucial topic that will define how we work alongside intelligent machines.   
• Your Work Will Define the Future of Our Platform: As our team's key technical liaison, you'll be instrumental in both supporting customers and providing critical feedback that helps shape our product roadmap. You will have the chance to contribute to our internal cloud infrastructure and deployment automation, with the flexibility to define your own path in a highly impactful role. 
• The Berlin/Saarbrücken Advantage: You'll work at the crossroads of two unique ecosystems: Saarbrücken, Germany's leading AI research hotspot and home to CISPA, where our roots lie, and Berlin, the country's most vibrant and diverse startup hub. This shapes who we are: a team that combines scientific excellence with a bold, fast-moving spirit. It's okay to work primarly remote with flexible arrangements. However, it's important to us that you're able to join special meetings or key events at one of our offices when needed, as we value the power of human connection.

Note: We are committed to equal opportunities and warmly welcome everyone. If you need any adjustments during the application process, please feel free to let us know at any time.While people from traditionally marginalized groups often tend to apply only when they meet all the criteria, studies show that men are more likely to apply if they meet at least 60% of the requirements. If you believe you have the skills and qualifications for this role, even if you don't tick every box, we strongly encourage you to apply. We'd love to get to know you and see whether this could be a great fit.

We are funded by world-class investors and backed by renowned advisors from academia and industry.

Our mission is to develop technology solutions that make AI trustworthy and ethical, and ultimately safer and more valuable for our society.
