Revive Recruitment is partnering with a well-funded AI start-up in Berlin that’s building a category-defining motion-graphics engine. They’re on a mission to radically simplify how creators produce professional animations using AI, and are hiring a Founding AI Engineer to join the core team and own the ML stack.

What you’ll do

  • Build and optimise AI systems that generate high-quality, style-consistent animations.

  • Fine-tune diffusion / VAE / GAN models to capture brand styles and motion principles.

  • Work closely with motion designers to convert domain knowledge into training data.

  • Implement feedback loops from user interactions to improve model outputs.

  • Research and prototype state-of-the-art methods in controllable motion-graphics generation.

What you’ll bring

Must-haves:

  • 3+ years’ practical ML engineering experience, including training & fine-tuning generative models (diffusion, VAE, GANs).

  • Strong computer-vision / graphics background (video generation, temporal modelling).

  • Proven experience designing production ML pipelines and deployment infrastructure.

  • Ability to implement cutting-edge research quickly and iterate in production.

  • Fluent English and willingness to work on-site in Berlin.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Domain knowledge in animation or motion graphics.

  • Familiarity with TypeScript / React / Next.js and GCP/AWS.

 

What’s on offer

  • Competitive base: €80k–€130k

  • Equity: 0.75%–1.5% (founding-level).

  • Company-paid lunch & dinner, relocation assistance, and central Berlin office.
