Speed is something we fight for every day at Fin, and we believe Berlin is built for people who share that instinct. We are drawn to Berlin by its rare blend of deep technical talent and rich creative culture – all within a vibrant, globally connected city that’s close to our R&D hubs in Dublin and London. It’s a place where the best of the best technical talent thrive, and where people from around the world are eager to relocate and build ambitious products.

Our ambition is to hire 100 people in Berlin over the year ahead across engineering, AI, data science, product, and design. We believe this is the most exciting time to join, be the founding R&D talent in the region and make a lasting impact as we build the world's number one customer agent!

What's the opportunity?

Fin's Machine Learning team is responsible for defining new ML features, researching appropriate algorithms and technologies, and rapidly getting first prototypes in our customers’ hands.

We are an extremely product focussed team. We work in partnership with Product and Design functions of teams we support. Our team's dedicated ML product engineers enable us to move to production fast, often shipping to beta in weeks after a successful offline test.

We are very passionate about applying machine learning technology, and have productized everything from classic supervised models, to cutting-edge unsupervised clustering algorithms, to novel applications of transformer neural networks. We test and measure the real customer impact of each model we deploy.
