About Pi School

Pi School is on a mission to empower businesses and professionals to leverage AI’s transformative capabilities. We believe technology should be an enabler, not a barrier, and it should empower individuals and businesses to grow, innovate, and stay connected. We strive for a world where AI and human potential coexist harmoniously, reshaping the way we work, learn, and prosper.

Born in 2017 from the expertise of Translated, an industry pioneer with over two decades of leadership in AI + human translation, Pi School has helped over 100 companies integrate AI solutions to improve their operations, enhance decision-making, and achieve sustainable growth.

Pi School remains at the forefront of the ever-evolving AI landscape and collaborates with prominent research centres and organisations worldwide, such as the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission, to harness AI for both cutting-edge research and practical solutions, driving progress in science and beyond. Our approach is founded on purposeful, impactful work, leveraging technology as a force for good.

Pi School’s AI research team is involved in several research projects with the European Space Agency and the European Commission, in the intersection of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence, LLMs, and multimodal models. Some of these are also deployed and get regular users. We are looking for a Software Engineer capable of contributing to designing, deploying, and maintaining scalable, production-grade ML systems, from backend services and CI/CD to performance optimisation and open-source-ready engineering practices.

About the role

We are looking for a Growth & Digital Marketing Manager to lead performance-driven marketing initiatives, with a primary focus on DVPS, Diversibus Viis Plurima Solvo, a European project exploring the future of AI through Multimodal Foundation Models, while contributing to Pi School’s overall marketing strategy.

• Open-source model adoption and developer marketing
• AI research, marketing, and ecosystem growth
• Performance marketing and funnel optimisation
• Stakeholder marketing across research, industry, EU networks, and policy environments

Your mission is to turn DVPS research and model outputs into measurable growth: brand awareness, adoption, engagement, partnerships, and qualified leads. This role is ideal for you if you love translating scientific and tech insights into actionable, engaging and GTM-like content and campaigns.

Project specifics

With its 20 partners and 29M€ in funding, DVPS aims to:

• Develop and share scientific foundations and methodologies
• Release impactful high-performance, open-source, and cutting-edge assets (models, benchmark and platform)
