    What we do

    1000 Faces is a stealth entertainment startup at Merantix, the largest AI fund in Europe, developing a B2B AI Experience Platform that transforms any space into an immersive story with AI characters. In an era of device addiction, we make entertainment set in the real world, empowering a new generation of creators & consumers. Our mission: to make yesterday's science fiction today's reality.

    Our demo alone has already caught the attention of some the largest IP owners & entertainment venues in Europe. Join Ilan in tackling this complex challenge & build an entirely new category of entertainment.

    Your role

    As a co-founder you'll be joining a small but mighty team that is already at full speed experimenting, learning, and growing together.

    • You bring your experience building B2B entertainment platforms, spatial computing, AI Avatars, generative AI, and/or ML products and teams to add fuel to this rocketship with guidance and connections to experts, advisors, and potential new hires;
    • Build and grow world-class research & software engineering teams with ambitious goals to drive our product forward and deliver high-quality product increments at speed;
    • Strive for a quality and speed balance according to our stage and foster a mindset of experimentation and data-driven decision-making;
    • As a leader we expect you to inspire and coach each member of your team to grow as our company does;
    • You will join an existing founding team to take this company from seed to unicorn.

    Your profile

    We are looking for Berlin-based (or willing to relocate) entrepreneurs in search of their next rocket ship.

    • You are an expert, with at least a MSc in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a similar field and +5 years of experience (or equivalent) building and launching applications - ideally spatial computing, AR/VR products, AI avatars, and familiarity with B2B platforms.
    • You are an entrepreneur, thriving in uncertain environments, embracing the startup culture as a "doer", aspirational and resourceful.
    • You are a leader, with previous working experience managing tech teams as a technology lead or a key technology role in a startup or a large enterprise.
    • You get things done and deliver high-quality work on a tight schedule by taking measured risks and prioritizing tasks for yourself and the team. You are also a proponent of robust, maintainable code and clear documentation.
    • People want to work with you: you are a servant leader, proactive communicator, good teacher/mentor/coach, able to empathize with people from different backgrounds and personality traits, and keep calm under pressure.
    If you think you are right for this role but don't meet all of the requirements, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway. Even if this isn't a perfect fit, strong candidates will be kept in our talent pool for future hires.
