About WeSort.AI – Changing the game!

WeSort.AI GmbH is a high-tech start-up from Würzburg that is revolutionizing recycling through artificial intelligence and is thus making a significant contribution to the urgently needed circular economy. Our deep learning systems enable both granular analysis and sorting of, for example, electronic waste and various plastics. In 2023, we were one of six start-ups nationwide to be awarded the prestigious Founders' Prize plus from the Federal Ministry of Economics (BMWK) for our systems. In 2024, we received the next major award as one of the winners of the German Founders' Prize, initiated by Stern, Sparkasse, ZDF and Porsche.

In addition, at WeSort.AI we work on research projects with well-known partners such as Siemens to combat climate change and ocean pollution.

As a leading provider in the DACH region and with market entry in 2024, our team is growing rapidly.

We are looking for a motivated, positive and resilient employee with a hands-on mentality. You love what you do and want to revolutionize the entire industry with your team.
