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.

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.
