Job description

Accelerating embodied AGI. The next ten years of AI will not be won in software. They will be won in the physical world: in factories, hospitals, kitchens, fields, and homes. The companies that own that data will own the century. microagi is building it. We are a data research and deployment lab. Atlas captures the manual work inside Europe’s industrial champions, trains foundation models on it, and deploys the right robot onto the floor, with no teleoperation and no interruption to the line. Shift records how physical work actually happens and turns it into training-ready data.

We were founded by former Formula 1 engineers from Red Bull Racing and Mercedes, together with a researcher from the Alan Turing Institute. Our $55M seed round, the largest in German history, was led by Hummingbird with Northzone, LocalGlobe, Village Global, and redalpine.

We are based in Munich, with our research centre in Zürich and teams in London, New York, and Istanbul.

We are now building the engineering and research teams that will take Atlas into new industries. We're scaling incredibly fast, and our manufacturing capability is central to our future.

As our Talent Partner, you'll be focused on hiring workers across the manufacturing lifecycle.

What You Will Do

• Develop and nurture talent pools across the manufacturing space, such as facilities managers and factory technicians, to ensure consistent delivery across high-volume pipelines.
• Build a robust employer brand, enabling microagi to be known as a competitive employer in an emerging industrial startup ecosystem.
• Advise the team on best practices for building out and scaling manufacturing recruiting.
• Plan and attend industry events to further our market presence amongst the best manufacturing talent.

Requirements

• 5+ year track record in high-volume blue-collar manufacturing hiring in innovative manufacturing environments
• Deep network within European manufacturing and industrial talent pools
• High agency: you don't wait to be told what to do.
• Fluent in German and English.
• Nice to Have: Experience working in a fast-paced start-up or scale-up

Who Will Thrive at microagi

• Mission and vision: you care about what we are building and why it matters, and your past choices show it.
• Intensity: you work at a pace that matches the size of the opportunity, and you sustain it.
• Entrepreneurial: you start things nobody asked for, and you finish them.
• Raw IQ: you learn fast, reason from first principles, and get sharper when the problem changes.

This is for you if:

• You would rather own a problem end to end than wait for a spec.
• You use AI every day, and you can tell a correct answer from a plausible one.
• You want to work in person, in the office, with people who are very good at what they do.

This is not for you if:

• You are looking for a predictable 9-to-5.
• You would forward output you cannot explain.
• \"That’s not my job\" feels like a reasonable answer.

How We Hire

• We read every application and reply within five working days.
• Talent Screen (30 min): a first conversation, both ways.
• Technical or Functional Interview (60 min): how you think when the problem changes.
• Your Work (60 min): bring something you are proud of and walk us through it.
• Leadership (30 min): a conversation with our CEO.
• Coworking Day (engineering and research roles): a day building with the team on a real problem. Then a decision, usually within a few days.

Pay Transparency

Compensation includes base salary and equity. The salary range for this role is shown on this posting.

What We Offer

• Agency: real ownership from day one, and decisions that actually matter.
• Freedom: to choose how you solve the problem, without layers of approval.
• A seat on a rocketship: one of Europe’s fastest-growing deep-tech companies, at the earliest stage.
• Free food and drinks in the office.

Equal Opportunity

microagi welcomes applications from everyone. We assess candidates on their work and potential, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion or belief, disability, age, or sexual identity.
