Job Overview

Synergy Labs is hiring a Principal AI Engineer to take standard third-party LLM APIs, add three system prompt instructions, and market the output as proprietary generative intelligence to Silicon Valley VCs.

Responsibilities

  • Craft system prompts that politely beg the model not to hallucinate fake revenue numbers.
  • Integrate vector databases with 50,000 chunked PDFs that nobody has ever read.
  • Convince enterprise prospects that our API call with custom temperature settings is an in-house neural architecture.
  • Write Twitter threads explaining how our product will replace 40% of white-collar workforce by Q4.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of connecting API keys to Python endpoints without losing your mind.
  • Deep familiarity with prompt chaining, embeddings, and vector similarity search.
  • Ability to maintain a serious poker face while saying 'agentic cognitive framework' in investor meetings.

Benefits & Perks

  • Generous stock option grant that will be worth millions if we flip to a legacy conglomerate before the hype cycle dips.
  • Flexible hybrid setup in downtown SF with unlimited nitro matcha on tap.
  • Company-expensed subscription to every AI benchmarking tool on ProductHunt.

Interview Process Expectation

Estimated Interview Rounds: 4 – 6 rounds
Probability of “one final quick conversation”: 98.4%

*Satirical projection based on modern corporate hiring rituals. Actual process set by employer.
