Technical Product Manager

Join Prior Labs!
Who We Are: Prior Labs is building breakthrough foundation models that understand spreadsheets and databases-the backbone of science and business. Foundation models have transformed text and images, but structured data has remained largely untouched. We're tackling this $100B+ opportunity to revolutionize how we approach scientific discovery, medical research, financial modeling, and business intelligence.
Our Impact: We aim to be the world-leading organization working on structured data. Our TabPFN v2 model, recently published in Nature, sets the new state-of-the-art for small structured data. Our models have gained significant traction with 1M+ downloads and 3,500+ GitHub stars. We are now building the next generation of models that combine AI advancements with specialized architectures for structured data.
Backing and Momentum: With €9M in pre-seed funding from top-tier investors including Balderton Capital, XTX Ventures, and Hector Foundation-and support from leaders at Hugging Face, DeepMind, and Silo AI-we're moving rapidly toward commercialization.
