Hey!

Welcome to the fourth edition of The Zürich Feed. 🥂

Every two weeks I go through ML roles in Zürich, filter out the noise, and add the context that job boards won’t give you:

  1. Team signals

  2. Whether the role is actually worth your time.

  3. What’s brewing in Zurich that’s not official yet (!!!)

This week: 36 hand picked, high leverage roles.

💥💥 Zürich ML ecosystem is alive! 💥💥


📡 MARKET PULSE

Google is still hiring a lot in Zürich for the moment with lots of opening across products. Even if not a growth-site per se (in terms of current openings vs other locations) lots of team are still in need of headcount as the office remains big.

Meta layoffs hit last week. Zurich office does not seem particularly impacted from what my friends tell me. Still, very few openings!

Microsoft has expanded rapidly the Superintelligence team in Zürich and paying top $$$ (or should I say CHF) for it. However, the positions look like they are getting filled fast and they dropped in volume this week.

Lots of roles are rarely for entry level engineers, but rather require 2/3+ YOE.

Same pattern also for “Junior engineer role” that requires 1 YOE. Such is life!


👀 ONE (or TWO) THING I’M WATCHING

Zürich is deep tech capital. The amount of highly technical roles is crazy here as you will see in the newsletter.

Especially for computer vision and robotics! Out of the 36 job openings, 12 of them are for robotics (!!!!!). Time to get around to learning it…?

Also, looks like the hottest new role in tech is coming to Google with multiple openings. If you are product oriented, like actually implementing things and feel a bit the sales side, then it’s the role for you!

Make sure you sit on the right side by continuously up-skilling. If you are here at ML@Scale, you are already in the right place. :)

Comp levels are growing in Zürich for top tier companies. Life is good.
