Über uns

UVC Partners is one of Europe’s leading early-stage venture capital firms. With our fourth fund generation of €250 million, we invest in disruptive B2B startups at the seed and Series A stage across Europe. Our focus areas include enterprise software, mobility, and industrial technologies.
Headquartered in Munich and closely integrated with UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s largest entrepreneurship center, we are proud partners to some of Europe’s most ambitious founders – including Flixbus, Isar Aerospace, finn.auto, Proxima Fusion, and Aleph Alpha.

At UVC Partners, we’re driven by a deep passion for entrepreneurship and its power to positively shape society. Environmental and social responsibility are core to our DNA. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything we do. As a firm, we continuously reinvent ourselves to stay ahead and best serve our portfolio and investors. We believe in ownership over hierarchy and foster a culture built on collaboration, curiosity, and personal engagement. And while we’re serious about our mission, we also genuinely enjoy working together and building lasting relationships along the way.

Deine Aufgaben

You will join a specialized team working at the intersection of applied research and venture capital, side by side with investors, AI researchers, and engineers building the backbone of our investment intelligence. This is a hands-on role with real stakes. You will be treated as a full member of the team, expected to take a research question from literature to a working prototype and to present your results to the people who make the investment decisions.

Dein Profil

• You are enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Data Science, Data Engineering, Information Systems, or a similar program at a top university.
• You bring depth, or the ambition to build it, in at least one relevant toolkit, whether that is graph ML and graph databases (e.g. PyTorch Geometric), LLM tooling, tool use and evaluation, or probabilistic modeling (e.g. PyMC, NumPyro).
• You write clean, modular Python and have firm machine learning and statistics fundamentals.
• You are fluent with AI-assisted coding tools and you have judgment about them. You know what they do well, where they quietly fail, and you review everything they produce. You do not ship AI slop.
• You work independently. You have run a project where you set the direction yourself, and you can point to it.
• You are fluent in English, including technical language. It is what you will work, write, and present in. German is helpful but not required.
