What is Melotech?

Melotech is a Berlin-based media and entertainment company built around generative AI. It uses AI models to create and distribute digital content across music (creating songs, curating playlists, and working with artists and labels), video and film production, and community and audience building. The idea is to produce entertainment that people actually watch and listen to at scale, made with technology but aimed at human audiences, rather than selling AI tools to others. Melotech was founded in 2023 by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, and is headquartered in Berlin. It raised venture funding in 2023 from Cherry Ventures and Speedinvest, and its team is drawn from firms like McKinsey and Bain and from technology companies. The company reports that its creations have accumulated more than two billion minutes of watch and listen time within roughly 18 months, a fast start for a company this young. For job seekers, Melotech is an example of a new kind of AI-native media company: alongside engineers, music, video, and growth teams, it hires emerging roles like AI Operators, people who run and direct generative-AI content production. It is an early-stage company, so treat scale and headcount as small and fast-moving.

Mission & values

Create art through technology for people to enjoy: use generative AI to make music, video, and entertainment that reaches and moves global audiences.

Qualifications

Melotech hires at the intersection of generative AI and media production. Roles span AI Operators and content operators (people who run generative-AI pipelines to produce music, video, and other content, an emerging job that blends creative judgment with prompting and tooling), music and video creative roles (producers, editors, artists, and curators), engineering and applied AI (backend, full-stack, ML, media and audio/video pipelines, infrastructure), product and design, and growth, marketing, and community. Application flow lives at melotech.ai (Join Us / careers) and its LinkedIn page. The strongest fit brings either genuine creative and media skills (music, video, content) paired with comfort using AI tools, or engineering and applied-AI depth in media, plus a bias toward shipping fast. It is Berlin-headquartered and Europe-focused; some roles may be remote, but eligibility and EU work authorization vary by role, so check each posting. As an early-stage company, early hires carry broad responsibility, and equity is a meaningful part of compensation.
