Applied Scientist

Prior Labs | Berlin / Freiburg / NYC | ONSITE | Full-time | Multiple Roles | https://priorlabs.ai/ Deep learning transformed text and images but mostly skipped tables, even though they're behind most clinical trials, financial models, and scientific experiments. The reason is structural: no natural sequence, no spatial structure, no shared vocabulary across datasets, so the architectures and scaling laws behind LLMs don't transfer. We're building the foundation-model approach for tabular data. We started with TabPFN. v2 was published in Nature and set a new state of the art on tabular benchmarks; since release we've scaled capabilities ~20x and crossed 3M+ downloads and 7.5k+ GitHub stars. The hard problems are still open: scaling to millions of rows, low-latency inference, new data modalities, and the infrastructure to run all of it in production. Open roles: - Senior ML Infrastructure Engineer - ML Engineer, Cloud Platform - Full Stack Engineer, ML Platform - Research Scientist, Foundation Model - Applied Scientist - Forward Deployed ML Engineer - Developer Relations Engineer - AE 35-person team with backgrounds from Google, G-Research, Jane Street, Goldman, CERN. Led by Frank Hutter, advised by Bernhard Schölkopf and Yann LeCun. Comp competitive with top AI labs. All roles: https://priorlabs.ai/careers#open-positions
