Company mission
To transform the way engineers work and enable them to do more of what they love doing: being inventors, creating great solutions, and solving problems.
Role
Who you are
- This role is perfect for someone who has already shipped a few things, knows their way around LLMs and modern Python tooling, and wants more ownership and impact
- You have hands-on experience working with LLMs via OpenAI, Hugging Face, Cohere, or similar platforms
- You have built or contributed to LLM agents using frameworks like LangChain Agents, OpenAI Assistants, CrewAI, or AutoGen - or developed custom orchestration logic
- You have designed and implemented RAG pipelines, with a strong understanding of chunking, hybrid search, and context optimization
- You are aware about LLM finetuning using LoRA, PEFT, or similar methods - and you are comfortable navigating model optimization under real-world constraints
- You have a strong command of modern Python, including async workflows, clean code architecture, and testing
- You have experience working with AWS, Docker, or similar infrastructure for deploying models and services in production
- You proactively dive into a new paper, library, or community repo to figure things out. You thrive in an environment where ambiguity is part of the challenge
- You are comfortable taking initiative, proposing ideas, and balancing quick iteration with long-term reliability
What the job involves
- We're looking for an LLM Engineer with hands-on experience to join our cross-functional AI team
- You’ll collaborate directly with product managers, software engineers, and industry-facing teams to turn state-of-the-art AI concepts into production-ready features
- Monday: You start with our all-hands to sync with the full company, then catch up with our AI product team to align on priorities
- You might pick up an idea you prototyped last week - like fine-tuning a smaller LLM to fit our on-premise constraints
- Tuesday: You join a focused session with the Product team to evaluate AI-driven UX improvements, like smarter autocomplete or generative design hints
- You’re not just there to “AI-wash” the product - you’re there to push what’s possible
- Wednesday: You work on improving our prompt evaluation stack or observability pipeline
- You have a weekly check in with Ram (AI Lead) to talk about your current topics and priorities
- Thursday: You go deep - maybe you’re refining our hybrid RAG architecture that blends internal CAD metadata with user-facing help docs
- You ship working code
- Friday: You wrap up your work in a short async demo, share a few insights on what worked (or didn’t), and propose an experiment for next week
- Then you log off knowing what you did this week is already running in someone’s workflow
- You will work with top AI technologies, solving real-world challenges for industry leaders like BMW Group, MAN, Arianespace
Application process
- Please apply with your English CV (no photo and birth date needed :)). Tell us how your unique perspective will benefit our team
Our take
Synera, formally known as Elise, is a German-founded engineering software company that develops platforms and tools for manufacturing companies. Off the back of the company's ethos to help engineers do more of what they love, Synera automates processes and leverages low-code, open and integrated software to help companies as large as BMW and Hyundai get more done faster.
Off the back of its recent funding, Synera has been working to expand its customer base into new market regions. The company already claims to save engineers up to 90 percent in time savings on ad-hoc tasks, enough incentive for the auto and travel manufacturing industry to invest in them. Interestingly, the Alfred Wegener Group, that conducts research in the Arctic and the Antarctic, is a parent company of Synera - influencing its core motive of improving engineering efficiency for time-sensitive work.
