Stockholm, Sweden
Engineering Manager
Engineering Manager Stockholm, Sweden73,000–93,000 SEK per month benefits Hybrid – 3 days office / 2 days remote Full-time Most ML leadership jobs pull you away from the models. This one puts you in charge of them. You will lead the generative audio systems that create music and sound effects for a global content platform used by millions of creators. The models already exist. The research direction is clear. What is needed now is someone who can own the entire system and push it into production at scale. You will guide how large diffusion models for music are trained, evaluated and deployed. Your decisions determine how these models evolve technically and how they run in real products where latency, stability and cost matter. What you will build You will help build systems that automatically adapt music to video, generate sound effects directly from visual input, and allow creators to produce soundtracks in seconds. A small team of five PhD educated ML engineers and a contractor will rely on your technical direction while you shape how the technology moves from experimentation into production. You will work across the full machine learning lifecycle. Training large generative models. Defining evaluation strategies. Making architectural decisions about inference, optimisation and deployment. Working closely with platform and MLOps engineers to ensure the systems run reliably in production.  Why this environment is different The models are trained on a proprietary catalogue of licensed music and structured datasets created through a global network of artists who produce and remix tracks specifically for training. This produces a dataset most AI labs simply do not have. You will also work close to the research frontier, with collaborations involving groups connected to unicorn start up labs and tier 1 universities.  The result is rare: frontier generative model work inside a stable, profitable company where the technology actually ships to users.  What you bringDeep experience training large machine learning models. Experience with generative models such as diffusion, audio models, vision models or large language models. Strong ML system design skills across training, evaluation and production deployment. Comfort guiding engineers and making architectural decisions that shape how ML systems evolve. Experience shipping ML systems where latency, reliability and cost matter. Team and setup You will lead a team of five PhD educated engineers and one contractor working on generative audio systems. The team works closely with platform engineering, data infrastructure and MLOps to ensure models move from experimentation into production features.  Curious? If you have trained large generative models before and want ownership of the entire system rather than a narrow piece of it, this will likely be interesting. Send a message / apply, and I can share more context.

Senior AI Product Manager
AI Product Manager - GenAII’m currently working with an AI native company that recently raised €3M and is building a series of vertical AI agents designed to automate real operational workflows across multiple industries.They already have a strong engineering team and are now looking for a Product Manager who can sit very close to engineering and help drive the pace of building and shipping AI products.This is not a traditional roadmap focused PM role. The person coming in will be heavily involved in hands on product development around AI agents, working with engineers on prompting, prototyping, defining agent behaviour, and helping run evaluation workflows to improve model performance.They are looking for someone comfortable operating in an early stage AI environment, where product ideas move quickly from concept to prototype to shipped product. The PM will also spend time speaking with customers to understand workflows and help design how these AI agents can solve real operational problems.The company operates more like an AI lab, identifying opportunities for automation, building AI agents around them, and then taking the successful products to market.If you are currently building AI driven products or exploring agent based systems, it could be a genuinely interesting conversation.

Senior Research Engineer
Senior Research Engineer – Generative AIGermany - Remote first €80,000 – €100,000 2 year contract  This role sits inside a research-driven engineering team building real Generative AI systems that are meant to leave the lab and prove their value in the world.It is about building working GenAI agents, putting them in front of partners, stress testing them, improving them and demonstrating that they solve meaningful problems. The domains range from public safety and social services to finance. The common thread is impact. In the first six months, you would join an applied project where the goal is to prototype a GenAI agent and convince an external partner that it creates tangible value. You would work closely with a senior researcher, iterating quickly, shipping regular merge requests, refining features, spotting technical risks early and improving the system week by week. There is a strong emphasis on being able to explain what you built, both to technical peers and to non-technical stakeholders. The environment is intentionally exploratory. New models, new agent frameworks, new tooling. If something promising appears, you are encouraged to test it. The team meets in person every Tuesday in Heidelberg, but beyond that there is flexibility. English is the working language.You might be refining prompts and evaluation loops for LLM-based systems, experimenting with coding agents, shaping system architectures, or mapping out a lightweight roadmap for how a prototype could evolve into something commercial. You will be close to decision making, not buried in a narrow implementation silo.Who we're looking for:Working with LLMs or GenAI in practice since at least 2023, comfortable building in Python with proper version control.A Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, AI or a related field fits well.Industry experience matters more than labels.Experience with coding agents such as Cursor or Codex is particularly interesting, as is familiarity with modern GenAI libraries and lightweight MLOps tooling.Just as important is adaptability. The technology moves fast and so does the direction of applied projects. The interview process is technical but practical. There is an initial technical conversation focused on engineering and GenAI fundamentals, followed by a motivational discussion, and then an in-person day that includes collaborative coding using AI coding agents. The coding session focuses more on how you think and structure a solution than on perfect syntax. This is suited to someone who enjoys building at the edge of what is currently possible with Generative AI, but who also cares whether the result genuinely improves something for real users.If this sounds interesting, please apply here and a member of the team will be in touch.
