About Syntroper

Syntroper AI is a VC-backed early-stage startup that accelerates the discovery and recovery of technical debt. Our mission is to build a TDF (Technical Debt Free) World.

Purpose

To free the world from the hidden consequences of technical debt — from rising cost of living to sustainability challenges.

Why Join Us?

This isn’t a job — it’s international competition for the gold medal in Software Architecture.

At Syntroper AI, we’re not chasing glamour or comfort. We’re grinding, competing, and pushing boundaries on a global stage. Our source of dopamine is conquering complex challenges.

At Syntroper, we behave like Olympians — to earn the gold medal in Software Architecture, we live by our values:

🔥Fire – Hunger over hype. Improvise, innovate, never settle.

🎯 Focus – Every customer delight is a match victory.

💪 Fortitude – We grind, grow, and give — even when it hurts.

Formidable – We play to win at the highest level.

If you want easy, this isn’t it. If you can grind for glory, welcome to the team.

What You’ll Do

  • Build world-class UX with React + TypeScript that customers brag about.
  • Shape APIs and design data models with PostgreSQL.
  • Architect, deploy, and scale services on AWS.
  • Push the limits of AI capabilities:
  • Design and deploy AI Agents.
  • Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAGs).
  • Fine-tune and optimize models for production use.
  • Own features end-to-end: from sketch → code → production → user impact.
  • Collaborate intensively and compete fiercely.
  • Help shape the culture, playbook, and training ground of an elite engineering team.

What We’re Looking For

  • Full stack fluency – You can move between frontend, backend, cloud, and AI pipelines.
  • Craftsmanship – You write clean, tested, production-ready code.
  • Competitor mindset – You aim high, embrace the uncertainty, and refuse to settle for mediocrity.
  • Startup spirit – Comfort with ambiguity, scrappy problem-solving, ambitious energy.
  • Coachability – You seek feedback, train deliberately, and grow stronger with every rep.
  • Team athlete – You know championships are won with both goals and assists.

Our Stack you’ll play with

  • React + TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • AWS (Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFormation/Terraform, etc.)
  • Vector DBs, LangChain, fine-tuning pipelines, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs

What You’ll Get

  • Market base salary.
  • ESOP package — early employees get more equity and more upside.
  • A hybrid work environment (remote possible): 2-3 days in-office at our downtown Auckland location, easily accessible by bus, ferry, and train.
  • Subsidised public transport for environment friendly commuting.
  • Endless growth opportunities — technical, professional, personal.
  • A front-row seat in a high-growth startup AI-first platform tackling one of tech’s biggest problems.
  • A value-driven team with serious allergy to mediocrity.
  • Visa Sponsorship for exceptional candidates.
