We’re putting humanity
on the next exponential.

AI is about to enter the physical world. We are training the foundation models that let it forecast how reality unfolds, design materials before they exist, simulate systems before they are built, and compress decades of physical iteration into days. Energy, manufacturing, medicine, space. The parts of the economy that touch atoms, all running at the speed software has been running at for the last twenty years. The work happens in Zürich. If you want your name on this curve, come build it with us.

What drives us

Six values. One way of working.

We live for our mission

Deeply committed to the work, consistently chasing ambitious goals. We celebrate the wins together and keep going.

Clock-speed

Speed is the edge. Two-way doors get decided fast. One-way doors get the careful pass they deserve. Either way, we ship.

Research-led

We are not here to follow. Profits go back into research. The frontier is where we work.

Optimistic about technology

Technology is the most reliable lever for transforming industries and improving lives. We pull on it.

Radical candor

Clear, direct, kind. Honest without being brutal, empathetic without being soft.

Factfulness

Data informs the decision. Intuition fuels the breakthrough. We use both.

Benefits & perks

Take care of the team. The team takes care of the work.

Time off that works for you

Paid vacation, sick leave, parental leave, plus extra time off for local holidays.

Flexibility that fits your life

Work when you are most productive. We focus on outcomes, not hours.

Ownership in what we build

Company stock options. You share in the long-term outcome of what you help build.

Investing in your growth

Annual budget for courses, books, conferences. Learning never stops.

Your workspace, your way

Budget for the equipment that makes you productive. We don’t tell you what to use.

Retreats with a purpose

Team retreats at inspiring locations. Collaborate, connect, recharge.

Work from anywhere

Zurich-based employees can work from anywhere in the world for one month each year.

Daily team lunches

Healthy, chef-cooked lunches delivered to the office every weekday.

Life at Jua

Built in Zürich. With each other.

Small team. Long hours. One kitchen. The people who are building the foundation layer for physical AI are in one room and in each other's way by design.
