The European Union has a brand new European Artificial Intelligence Office (AI Office), to enact the new EU AI Act. More details here.

Two roles are currently open, Technology Specialist and Administrative Assistant. I will give some details for the Technology Specialist role here (based on a recent livestream/Q&A). This is a role for Software Developers, Research Scientists, Hardware Experts, and more. They expect to hire 80-100 people within the next 2 years.

Salary: Standard for certain EU office roles. Fluid, depends on experience and family status, but examples figures included ~4000 (EUR per month) for a junior candidate and ~6500 for an experienced one with children.

Location: Brusseles (Belgium) or Luxembourg (Luxembourg). Hybrid/full, up to 3 days/week remotely, the rest in one of the two offices.

Application: Technology Specialist (download and open doc for more details), open until 2024-03-27 (in 7 days).
