Are you open to remote work? I am a scala senior data engineering that has built several similar projects (namley analytics based on transactional graph systems) and am currently working on side projects in the space of neuro simulation applied to AGI, but am located in the United States and am not interested in relocation to Europe currently.

Do you offer visa sponsorships for US applicants?

[dmontero]

There are some US citizens working at BBP. In fact, inside our section we have two people who were previously working in the US.

Even though the process to bring somebody to work in Switzerland is more tedious than for EU citizens, it is duable.

I would still fully recommend to apply if you are willing to relocate, without worrying about the administrative factor.

[bbpthrowaway]

Yes they do. It makes the process more complex and lengthier though, so they'll most likely focus on Swiss/EU/EEA candidates.

Do you assist in relocating?

[dmontero]

Visa sponsorship is provided and related administration work with the Swiss administration is facilitated.

The acquisition of an accommodation has to be done by the applicant, even though we can offer some guidance.
