Experienced Senior AI Software Engineer working alongside the CTO to design and build AI systems powering Synquery's platform.
Responsibilities
- We are looking for an experienced Senior AI Software Engineer to join us at one of the most exciting moments in Synquery's growth. This is a broad, high-impact role — you will have your fingerprints across the full product, working directly alongside the CTO to design and build the systems that power our platform end-to-end.
- Our platform processes hundreds of thousands of data points across a sophisticated expert network automation pipeline: identifying the right experts, vetting their credentials, confirming availability and mutual fit, and running AI-driven interviews that extract meaningful insights — all delivered to some of the most demanding clients in consulting and investing. The technical challenges are real, the stakes are high, and the pace is fast.
- At our core, we are on a mission to give everyone access to expert-level answers to questions that have no digital answer — the kind of knowledge that lives only in the minds of people who have spent decades in an industry. You will be building the AI infrastructure that makes that possible: resilient, scalable, and genuinely pushing the frontier of what agentic AI can do in the real world.
Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years as a Python developer, with strong depth across web development, distributed systems, and AI — including LLMs and agentic systems
- AI, GenAI & Agentic AI: 5+ years building on a strong foundation in traditional AI — ML, NLP, statistical learning — complemented by demonstrated hands-on experience with LLM frameworks and agentic tooling such as LangChain, LangSmith, LiveKit, Pipecat, or equivalent
- Engineering Fundamentals: Excellent command of OOP and functional programming; expertise in scalable, high-reliability system design
- Security & Compliance: Familiarity with compliance standards such as SOC2 and a proactive approach to working with security teams
- Collaboration: Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders; you write clean code and give clear, constructive code reviews
- Mindset: Passion for innovation, continuous improvement, and personal accountability — you thrive in a fast-paced environment and don't wait to be told what to do
- Travel: This role may require occasional domestic and international travel; all standard travel expenses are covered per company policy
Conditions
- Be at the forefront of AI research and real-world deployment
- Work on hard technical problems that directly shape our product and platform
- Join a high-growth startup backed by leading investors
- Competitive salary, benefits, and meaningful equity package
- ⚡ Synquery is for people who want to win. If you're a talented engineer who's passionate about building cutting-edge AI systems and shaping the future of AI in business, we'd love to hear from you.
