About us coera is building the universal safety intelligence layer for human-robot coexistence, redefining what safety means in the age of physical AI. Robotics is advancing faster than the safety systems meant to support it. coera closes that gap with multimodal sensing and deterministic guardrails: retrofittable, embeddable, controller-agnostic. Safety is not a checkpoint or a constraint. It is the capability that lets intelligent machines operate freely wherever people do.

Senior Medical Software Engineer
Senior Medical Software Engineer  Berlin - 3 days pw in office up to 95k euro base  Hands-on engineering leadership  |  Recruiter brief  |  17 September 2026  The role  Aidvance is developing software for an FDA-regulated medical device that delivers depression treatment through spoken conversations in English. We are preparing a US pilot for 2027.  The priority before the pilot is a structured development process that meets applicable medical-device requirements. We need one hands-on senior engineer to establish that process and lead delivery across backend, mobile app and speech integrations, with support from our existing engineer.  What matters most  • Medical-software development. Strong preference for hands-on medical-device software experience: requirements, risk management, test evidence, controlled releases and technical documentation. Comparable regulated-software experience may transfer. • Engineering leadership. Can establish practical development processes, organize reviews and prioritize delivery. Engineering-management experience is a major plus; this remains a hands-on coding role. • Full-stack delivery. Built and maintained application and backend features, with automated tests, deployment and monitoring. Handles sensitive data responsibly and documents operation and recovery.  Where to look and secondary strengths  Start with medical-device software and digital-therapeutics teams. Healthcare voice/audio teams are also relevant when candidates bring regulated-development experience.  • Provider integration. Can integrate external speech services and test the complete product. Specialist audio experience is optional; a dedicated audio hire can be revisited after the pilot. • Conversation and audio evaluation is a plus. Experience with repeatable tests for conversation behavior, speech quality, response timing and interruptions, using commercial tools or custom setups.  Mobile expertise is secondary, but the role includes developing a new version of our mobile app following medical-device software development practices. Exact languages, speech vendors and specialist model training experience are not hiring filters.

AI Engineer
DeepRec.ai is representing a rapidly growing, venture-backed AI company that's building technology to help enterprises understand, improve, and automate complex business processes. Our client's team brings together experienced engineers, AI researchers, and operators with backgrounds building sophisticated AI systems at scale, and they place a premium on technical depth, intellectual curiosity, ownership, and a first-principles approach to hard problems. The Opportunity Our client is building a learning system that helps AI agents understand how enterprises actually operate. Their platform ingests information from sources like knowledge bases, conversations, support tickets, and system activity, then converts it into structured instructions that AI agents can execute — with built-in confidence and reliability mechanisms that determine when an agent should act autonomously versus loop in a human. We're looking to connect them with an AI Engineer who has shipped complex, production-grade LLM systems — whether that's scaling LLM workflows, building multi-agent systems, designing evaluation infrastructure, or developing AI products for demanding production environments. In this role, you'd spend most of your time advancing the company's core AI infrastructure and the systems powering intelligent agents across enterprise use cases, working across continuous learning, agentic workflows, human-in-the-loop feedback, evaluation, and orchestration. What You'd Be DoingBuilding and extending a core context-learning platform, turning real customer problems into reusable AI capabilitiesDesigning and implementing LLM-powered systems and agentic workflows from concept through productionBuilding autonomous agents for knowledge management — systems that can create, edit, update, and maintain large knowledge basesDeveloping reliability and confidence mechanisms, including evaluation frameworks and decision logic for automate-vs-escalate callsArchitecting asynchronous, scalable infrastructure to support complex AI orchestrationBuilding systems that learn and improve through human feedback, evaluation, and iterative optimizationContributing to the company's AI strategy, technical architecture, and product directionWhat Our Client Is Looking ForExperience building complex, production LLM-based systems, and the ability to speak to the engineering decisions and tradeoffs behind themA track record of shipping meaningful software or AI systems to production and iterating on them based on real-world usageExperience building agents, autonomous systems, or sophisticated LLM workflowsGenuine interest in systems that improve continuously through human feedback, evaluation, prompt optimization, and context engineeringComfort operating at the boundary between AI research and production engineeringStrong systems-design chops, particularly with asynchronous and distributed architecturesExcellent written and verbal communication — able to explain technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders3+ years of professional engineering experienceDon't meet every point on that list? Our client is open to exceptional engineers with unconventional combinations of skills and experience, so we'd still encourage you to apply. Compensation & BenefitsCompetitive base salary and meaningful equityComprehensive health, dental, and vision coverageFlexible PTOSupport for setting up a home workspaceOffice meals, snacks, and drinksAdditional location-appropriate benefitsWorking Environment This is a highly collaborative, fast-paced team with a strong emphasis on in-person collaboration.

Reinforcement Learning Engineer
Senior Reinforcement Learning EngineerZurich | Hybrid | Full-timeYou’ve already deployed reinforcement learning on real robots. Now you can apply that experience to autonomous excavators working across different machines, sites and soil conditions. You’ll join a Series A robotics company taking Physical AI into construction, with systems already deployed across multiple countries.You’ll build learning-based planning and control systems that work outside the simulator. That means improving simulation and sim-to-real transfer, designing data pipelines for real-world training, running experiments on physical machines and understanding why behaviour changes when conditions get messy. You’ll also integrate learned components into the wider autonomy stack and help shape how the system moves from prototype into a reliable product.This is a hands-on engineering role for someone with 2–5 years of industry experience in reinforcement learning for control or planning, who has actually deployed systems on physical robots. You’ll need strong Python and PyTorch skills, good C++, experience with GPU-accelerated simulation, and the ability to debug real-world robotic behaviour. Experience with hydraulic machinery, large-scale deployments, imitation learning or production rollout strategies would be useful.You’ll have genuine scope to influence the technical direction as the autonomy team builds a long-lived system designed to operate across the construction industry. If you want your RL work to move from simulation into machines doing real work, this is an opportunity to do exactly that.You’ll need:2–5 years’ industry RL experience in control or planningProven deployment on physical robotsStrong Python/PyTorch and good C++Experience with simulation and sim-to-realWillingness to travel when projects require itIf the challenge fits your background, let’s have a conversation about the role and the problems you’d be working on.
