Office Manager - Freiburg

Who we are

Prior Labs is building foundation models that understand tabular data, the backbone of science and business. Foundation models have transformed text and images, but structured data has remained largely untouched. We’re tackling this $600B opportunity to fundamentally change how organizations work with scientific, medical, financial, and business data.

Momentum: We’re the world-leading organization in structured data ML. Our TabPFN v2 model was published in Nature and set a new state-of-the-art for tabular machine learning. Since its release, we’ve scaled model capabilities more than 20x, reached 2.5M+ downloads, 5,500+ GitHub stars, and are seeing accelerating adoption across research and industry. We’re now building the next generation of tabular foundation models and actively commercializing them with global enterprises across Europe and the US.

Our team: We’re a small, highly selective team of 20+ engineers and researchers, selected from over 5,000 applicants, with backgrounds spanning Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, G-Research, Jane Street, Goldman Sachs, and CERN, led by the creators of TabPFN and advised by world-leading AI researchers such as Bernhard Schölkopf and Turing Award winner Yann LeCun. Meet the team here.

What’s Next: Backed by top-tier investors and leaders from Hugging Face, DeepMind, and Silo AI, we’re scaling fast. This is the moment to join: help us shape the future of structured data AI. Read our manifesto.
