ABOUT FUTURAIL

Futurail is a deeptech startup building the autonomy stack for self-driving trains. Our mission is to make rail the most attractive form of transport, by enabling frequent, reliable, low-carbon services powered by autonomous technology.

With our AI-based software stack, we help rail operators and manufacturers run safer and more efficient services, starting in depots and on branch lines, and expanding to mainline operations. Founded by experts in autonomous systems, we're rethinking how millions of people and goods move every day.

We’re backed by leading European investors and already working with mobility players across Europe and the US. As we enter our next phase of growth, this is your opportunity to join a high-trust, high-talent team that’s reshaping rail.
