About Synature Synature is a startup building state-of-the-art systems for animal sound monitoring. Our product consists of fully autonomous smart microphones that stream audio from the field, various AI models that decode animal vocalizations, and a web application that visualizes the results. The goal is to make nature more measurable. We have active projects on four different continents. Your Role You'll build machine learning systems to reveal what the animal world is telling us. As an AI Engineer at Synature, you'll own models from idea to production - adapting and developing architectures to accurately decode animal vocalizations. The problems usually have no closed-form solution, and creative approaches are welcome. The work spans both ends of the spectrum: from research and architecture design to deploying and maintaining models in production. Your Profile We are looking for candidates with 3+ years of industry or full-time research experience building high-functioning, robust AI systems. The candidate will be able to adapt quickly to new environments and technologies. Some specific things we are looking for: BSc or MSc Computer Science, Mathematics, or related discipline Strong foundations in ML, statistics, and stochastics, with the ability to read AI research papers, design and implement algorithms, and integrate them into production systems Hands‑on experience across the full ML lifecycle: data sourcing, modeling, testing, deployment, and monitoring Proficient in Python. Experience with SQL and an understanding of lower‑level languages is a plus Prior experience with time‑series signal processing is a plus Comfortable with startup pace Collaborative team player with a strong sense of ownership Fluent in English (German is an additional bonus) Valid Swiss work permit If you're talented and driven but don't meet every technical requirement, we still want to hear from you. Your Team You'll work closely with Gabriel Prélaz (Head of AI) and Noah Schmid (CTO), and interact regularly with Tim Gardner, co-founder of Neuralink and Innovation Catalyst at Synature. If you’re excited by frontier tech, real‑world impact, and startup speed - let’s talk :)
