Compensation
Not Disclosed

Join H Company, an AI lab backed by €200M from Accel, Amazon, and Eric Schmidt, to build the high-performance inference engine room for the world’s most advanced computer-use agents.

As a Research Engineer, you will bridge world-class research and production to optimize vision-action loops and tool-call latency alongside a team of DeepMind alumni. This is a rare opportunity to shape the infrastructure behind superintelligent AI and the open-source Holo model family in a high-growth, hybrid London or Paris-based environment.
