The ideal candidate will have an expertise in AI, machine learning, and natural language processing to join our dynamic and rapidly growing team. As a key member of our team of 6, your contributions will directly shape the future of our innovative AI-driven presentation generator. Your work will enable us to transform how users create presentations from various data sources, including Word, PDF, and more.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop, train, and deploy machine learning models to improve our AI-based presentation generation capabilities.
- Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) techniques to integrate diverse data sources into coherent presentations.
- Retrieve or generate visual assets for presentations (icons, pictures, infographics, charts, …) with AI/ML techniques
- Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI, ML, and NLP to continuously improve our product.
- Build and maintain backend services using Python, FastAPI, and other frameworks.
- Collaborate on database management and query optimization.
- Contribute to other phases of the development lifecycle, from design to deployment.
Skills and Qualifications:
- Degree in Computer Science, Data Science or a related field.
- Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.

- Practical experience through internships or personal projects.
Nice-to-Have:
- Familiarity with cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure) and server management via shell.
- Experience with Python backends, FastAPI, and frameworks like LLM (LangChain, Llama Index).
- Knowledge of vector databases and advanced database management systems.
- Knowledge of 2D graphics editors and SVG (yep, it gets quite nitty gritty).
- Experience working within a start-up.
Our Tech Stack:
- Frontend: NextJS, Zustand, Tailwind, Prisma
- Backend: Python, FastAPI, Llama Index, NestJS for microservices

- Future equity package to be determined
- Fully remote work environment with flexible scheduling (we would love for you to be able to travel every 3 months to meet in person).
- Company-provided laptop and a software budget tailored to your needs.
- Budget for attending conferences (AI Engineer, Figma Config, WebSummit and more).
- Extraordinary quarterly fully-paid trips across Europe, including accommodations and flights, to foster team bonding and creativity (our next trips are to San Francisco and Lisbon) 🌎.
- WeWork membership
To apply, please submit your resume and a brief cover letter with your experience and why you're a good fit for us. Have you built any AI tools, have you worked with 2D graphics software?
We’re excited to hear from you and look forward to possibly welcoming you to SlideSpeak, where your work will help shape the future of presentation technology!
