Research Scientist

kausable GmbH is looking for a research scientist.

kausable GmbH is pioneering a reasoning-first approach to AI, developing a foundation that's fundamentally different from Large Language Models. While today's models rely heavily on pattern matching and massive pre-training, they focus on logical reasoning and adaptability.

They are creating agentic AI that:

• learns in-context from just a few examples
• opens up whole new domains and skills without retraining
• generalizes across tasks and modalities

If you're an experienced researcher, smart, creative, and inspiring, you'll fit right in!

kausable has recently raised a large funding round with investors from Black Forest Labs (a pioneer in visual generation), tech experts, and a strong network of advisors and supporters.

kausable's research and development currently revolves around generating synthetic world data, training and validating deep-learning models, creating and facilitating capable embedders for various domains and modalities. You'll have the opportunity to:

• design and scale deep neural networks pre-trained on synthetic data for active learning and dynamic task solving
• develop new model architectures and datasets for real-world reasoning
• extend synthetic-data pipelines and evaluate across tasks and modalities
• collaborate on open-source initiatives and contribute to research publications

The start-up is looking for research scientists with a strong background in one or more of these topics:

• active learning
• meta-learning
• modeling of complex and evolving systems
• reinforcement learning
• Bayesian learning, Bayesian optimization

• a PhD in ML, Physics, or equivalent – or MSc with exceptional experience
• a strong grasp of causality, meta-learning, PFNs, and active inference
• the ability to work independently and think from first principles
• hands-on experience with modern ML tooling and research workflows
• an outcome-oriented mindset

• publications in NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ECCV/ICCV, or similar
• experience with graph-based models or synthetic data generation
• open-source contributions

kausable is committed to 'putting science at the core of AI'—with curiosity, daring, and humanity. They:

• are scientists at heart, with a builder’s mindset
• are open to challenge, grounded in curiosity and respect
• welcome diverse perspectives and value thoughtful and open debate
• focus on outcomes and real-world impact
• create an environment of support, inspiration, and freedom for everyone to excel

• competitive salary + equity
• conference travel
• flexible working hours with work-from-home options
• pragmatic and supportive coworkers

• Weights and Biases
• Docker
• Run Pod
• AWS
• a high-end laptop of your choice
