Role
Who you are
- You are a driven, entrepreneurial leader with experience leading engineering teams for at least one software product that achieved strong scale
- You welcome the ownership, responsibility and ambiguity that comes with joining a fast-growing start-up in its infancy. Lastly, you are a great person!
- 5+ years of experience in designing and managing software architecture as well as in full-stack development or 5+ years in software development in the post-trading industry, or any closely related fields
- Strong preference if you have 2+ years in AI / ML product lifecycle
- Experience in building teams, and ideally have held a senior management position
- Passion for fintech and trading
- Experience at an early-stage start-up
What the job involves
- You would be working directly with the founder to develop and implement our tech strategy. This includes:
- Design, develop, deploy and maintain the software architecture with a focus on the particular needs of the clearing market, such as risk management, security and regulatory compliance
- Lead, design and develop the AI/ML systems necessary for the product
- Hire, lead and manage a team of deep learning engineers and software developers
Our take
Predicting AI as the most significantly growing tech field of this century, Merantix aims to apply machine learning to sectors that can benefit most from it. After a robust, highly selective vetting process, Merantix identifies founders and collaborates to provide support and funding to scale their businesses. The company integrates all areas of AI, building a complete talent pipeline and fund for venture scaling. Successful examples include Vara, SiaSearch, and Cambrium.
Merantix differentiates itself from typical venture capital firms through its approach. While most VCs invest in established businesses, spreading funds across many companies and taking losses while focusing on winners, Merantix tries to pick winners at the earliest stage.
The launch of an AI Campus in 2021 significantly increased the company's ecosystem, allowing it to explore new fields. Through strategic partnerships with SoftBank and the AI City project in Dubai, Merantix is growing. It has incubated ten successful startups so far and aims to produce even more in the coming years. Merantix is raising a new €100 million fund to co-invest in startups, marking its largest fund yet. This fund will be allocated to co-investing in external startups, investing in incubated startups, and supporting existing investments.
