Prior Labs | Berlin / Freiburg / NYC | ONSITE | Full-time | Multiple Roles

Tables power every financial model, clinical trial, and scientific experiment, but deep learning has mostly ignored them. No natural sequence, no spatial structure, no shared vocabulary across datasets. LLM architectures don't transfer. We built TabPFN, the first foundation model that actually understands tabular data (published in Nature, 3M+ downloads, new SOTA for tabular ML). The hardest problems are still open.

The model is half the product. The other half - training infrastructure, real-time serving, developer platform, reliability - is what turns a research breakthrough into something enterprises trust in production. We're hiring across both.

ML Engineer, Cloud Platform — Design and scale the core infrastructure for serving and finetuning foundation models in production. Early enough that you're making the architecture decisions, not inheriting them.

ML Engineer, Training Infrastructure — Own GPU infrastructure, distributed training performance, and the developer productivity layer (CI, experiment tracking, model registry) that keeps research moving fast.

Full Stack Engineer, ML Platform — Build the product that puts tabular foundation models in users' hands, from data upload through inference and results. You'll work across frontend, backend, and directly with the research team to turn new model capabilities into production features.

Research Engineer, Foundation Model — Design experiments, run ablations, build training infrastructure, contribute to papers. Research engineers here aren't supporting scientists — they are the science team.

Also hiring: Research Scientist, Applied Scientist, Forward Deployed ML Engineer, Developer Relations Engineer, AE, BDR.

20-person team selected from thousands applicants. Backgrounds from Jane Street, Google, CERN, G-Research. Led by Frank Hutter, advised by Yann LeCun and Bernhard Schölkopf. €9M pre-seed from Balderton, with backing from leaders at Hugging Face, DeepMind, and Black Forest Labs. Comp competitive with top AI labs, meaningful equity.

I'm a big PostHog fan - can GMT+10 be written off as just bad latency?

Hi! I must say I'm really interested in what you are building there and I'd love to be a part of it. I can't apply for now but, if that's okay, I'd like to connect with you on LinkedIn in order to keep an eye on your enterprise.

As for me, I have a strong background in front-end development, I've been designing and building user interfaces for almost 10 years now. I'm also a passionate fan of Tolkien's works, I read a lot and hope to maybe write someday (more than simple blog articles). You can have a look of what I've done on my website: https://www.jeantinland.com/.

Have a nice day! I hope to be able to work with you in the future!
