Melotech is revolutionizing media and entertainment. We create art through technology for humans to enjoy. In just 24 months, our
work has been heard, watched and loved for over 3 billion minutes worldwide.
Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, we are backed by top VCs Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and GFC, alongside
world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR.
Join us as Data Scientist Intern to bring order to the chaos of culture. You'll extract insights from hard-to-reach data sources
to tackle the big questions: What cultural trends are emerging that everyone else is missing? How can we predict virality? And
what factors characterize an underserved category? Working fully autonomously alongside our founder and the team, your answers to
these questions will directly influence our company's success. On a typical day, your tasks may include:
We look for upcoming Data Scientists who understand that real impact comes from turning messy, unstructured data into
business-critical insights that drive company direction. You're someone who doesn't just build models, you solve complex business
problems by finding creative ways to access hard-to-reach data and translate statistical findings into actionable strategies.
high-growth start-ups and scale-ups, or media industry leaders
beyond standard APIs
You are one of the first employees of an ambitious team, changing the world of media and entertainment. Being early means every
decision you make shapes our trajectory. You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for
performance and respected for leadership. Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your
impact is immediate.
We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity. We work remotely to give you complete freedom over
your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global offsites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.
We hire on a rolling basis. The earliest starting date is always ASAP.
Once you begin our process, you can progress from start to offer within a week, depending on how quickly you can move through each

WHO WE ARE Foundation models transformed text and images. Structured data - the largest and most consequential data format in the world - stayed untouched. Tables run every clinical trial, every financial model, every scientific experiment, every business decision, and no one had built a foundation model that truly understood them. Until now. What LLMs did for language, we're doing for tables. The next modality shift in AI is happening, and we're hiring the team that makes it. Momentum. We pioneered tabular foundation models and are now the world-leading organization in structured-data ML. Our TabPFN v2 model was published as a Nature cover story and set a new state of the art for tabular machine learning. Since release we've scaled model capabilities 20x+, passed 3.5M+ downloads and 7,500+ GitHub stars, and are seeing accelerating adoption across research and industry - from detecting lung disease with Oxford Cancer Analytics to preventing train failures with Hitachi to improving clinical-trial decisions with BostonGene. The hardest work is ahead. We're scaling tabular foundation models to millions of rows, thousands of features, real-time inference, and entirely new data modalities, while building the infrastructure to run them in production across some of the most demanding industries on earth. These are open problems no one else is working on at this level. Our team. We're a small, highly selective team of 30+ engineers, researchers, and GTM specialists, with backgrounds spanning Google, Apple, Amazon, DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft Research, G-Research, Jane Street, Goldman Sachs, and CERN. We're led by Frank Hutter, Noah Hollmann, and Sauraj Gambhir, and advised by world-leading AI researchers including Bernhard Schölkopf and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun. We ship fast, do top-tier research, and hold each other to an extremely high bar. What's next. In 2025 we raised €9m pre-seed led by Balderton Capital, backed by leaders from Hugging Face, DeepMind, and Black Forest Labs. The next phase of growth is here, which makes this an ideal time to join. CORE AREAS OF IMPACT You'll be among the first scientists collaborating and working an entirely new class of AI models, not just incremental improvements. As an early-stage startup working on foundation models for tabular data, we have countless exciting research ideas and problems to explore - you're sure to find challenges that match your interests and expertise. We are working on problems such as: * Scaling our transformer architectures from 10K to 1M+ samples while maintaining performance * Building multimodal models that combine text and tabular understanding on proprietary data * Developing specialized architectures for time series, forecasting, and anomaly detection * Creating efficient inference methods for production deployment * Researching causal understanding in foundation models * Designing novel approaches for handling multiple related tables WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR * Currently pursuing or holding a PhD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (we will also consider exceptional Master's students) * Deep experience with ML frameworks, especially PyTorch and scikit-learn * Strong engineering fundamentals with excellent Python expertise * Experience in data-science and working with tabular data or time series * Publications at top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR) or significant open-source contributions BENEFITS * Strong mentorship and professional development opportunities * Work with state-of-the-art ML architecture, substantial compute resources, and a world-class team * Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, transportation, and fitness Life at Prior Labs We're a small, ambitious team solving one of the hardest problems in AI, and we're just getting started. You'll work closely with world-class researchers and builders who care deeply about the quality of their craft, the impact of their work, and the people they work with. We move fast, we think rigorously, and we take the time to do things right. If you're excited by hard problems, motivated by real-world impact, and want to be part of building something that matters, we'd love to hear from you. We're building our teams in Berlin, Freiburg, and New York and we believe that when you're working on something as hard and exciting as TabPFN, being in the same room matters. Most of our roles are based in one of our offices but great people come from everywhere, and in exceptional cases we're open to remote. This usually involves frequent travel to one of our offices and the whole company comes together regularly for offsites to think, build, and celebrate together. Our Commitments We believe the best products and teams come from a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. That's why we welcome applications from people of all identities and walks of life, especially anyone who's ever felt discouraged by "not checking every box." We're committed to creating a safe, inclusive environment and providing equal opportunities regardless of gender, sexual orientation, origin, disability, or any other trait that makes you who you are. We care about how your data is handled. Read our Recruiting Privacy Notice to see exactly what we collect, why, and how long we keep it.
