Founded in 2017 by Marco Trombetti and Isabelle Andrieu, it is backed by 27 years of AI heritage through Translated, the founders' company and a leader in the language industry worldwide.\nPi School embeds AI research expertise within organisations tackling complex challenges, contributing to open science and bridging the gap between academia and institutions. To date, it has delivered more than 100 AI solutions, trained over 250 engineers through the Pi School of AI programme and secured more than €7M in EU grants.\nPi School leads and contributes to research initiatives. These include DVPS and Meetween, funded by the European Commission, and EVE and SatcomLLM, funded by the European Space Agency.\nWe are looking for a Software Engineer (ML systems) to work in our office in Rome. Pi School’s AI research team is involved in several research projects with the European Space Agency and the European Commission, in the intersection of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence, LLMs, and multimodal models. Some of these are also deployed and get regular users. We are looking for a Software Engineer capable of contributing to designing, deploying, and maintaining scalable, production-grade ML systems, from backend services and CI/CD to performance optimisation and open-source-ready engineering practices.\n Project specifics\nSome of the projects you will be working on:\nEVEis being developed by Pi School, with support from Mistral and Imperative Space for ESA Φ-lab. EVE is a Large Language Model for Earth Observation, born from Φ-lab's ultimate vision to develop an Earth Observation Digital Assistant capable of answering information and knowledge queries in natural language, providing accurate and validated content to support decision-making and exploration. Discover more at eve.philab.esa.int.\nMeetweenaims to build a multimodal foundation model for speeches focused on videoconferencing use cases funded by the European Commission. Discover more at meetween.eu/.\nDVPSis a Horizon Europe project, coordinated by Translated with 20 partners across 9 countries, advancing multimodal foundation models that learn from language, vision and real-world sensor data. It is building an open-source toolkit for developing these models, with applications in language, health and the environment, trained on Europe’s largest HPC infrastructure.
