Senior Platform Engineer (.NET / Docker)

Synera

Bremen, City state Bremen, Germany

28 October 2026

Synera is the leading AI Agent Platform for Engineering — companies like BMW, Airbus, NASA, and Hyundai use it to build autonomous digital engineers that execute real work inside CAD, CAE, and PLM tools. Today the product runs as a Windows desktop application. We’re building a server-hosted product customers can deploy on their own infrastructure, and you’ll join the team that owns the transition end to end You’ll be the first engineer on our new Platform team. That means extracting the .NET backend from its desktop dependencies, containerizing it with Docker, and standing up the CI/CD, install, upgrade, and licensing flows for on-prem deployment, as well as taking over auth tasks In parallel, you’ll join our efforts to make the platform AI-native: building MCP servers, agent skills, and documentation written for AI agents — not just humans — to operate the platform As the work matures, you’ll contribute to growing a small, senior team around it You’ll report to Ben and work closely with Sven and the broader engineering org, including being part of the Chaotic Chimeras team in the beginning. This is real ownership: you drive work to a finished, deployed state and raise blockers early Monday: Daily standup with the Chimeras team, then a deep focus block untangling the backend from its desktop dependencies. Every other Monday you join the cross-team dev share to swap learnings with engineers from the other teams Tuesday: Heads-down getting a service running headless inside a multi-stage Docker image. On alternating Tuesdays the team runs an AI experimentation day — you point a new agent or tool at a real platform workflow and see what sticks Wednesday: Work on the CI/CD pipeline so images build, test, and publish on their own Thursday: Sprint review and planning. You demo the latest slice of the migration, scope the next one, then work on the on-prem install flow — upgrade, rollback, and licensing for a customer-run server Friday: Every other Friday afternoon is yours for upskilling — a conference talk, a new tool, or a book from your €2,000 development budget In 6 months: The backend runs headless in Docker across dev, test, and staging — fully lifted out of its desktop dependencies In 6 months: A first on-prem deployment is live in an internal or friendly-customer environment, and CI/CD builds, tests, and publishes images without anyone babysitting it In 6 months: The platform’s first MCP server or agent skill is in use, with deployment docs written for AI agents to act on In 12 months: Customers install, upgrade, and roll back the on-prem server themselves — the migration is proven end to end at a real customer site In 12 months: The Platform team has grown to two or three engineers, and the standards and onboarding you wrote make them productive fast In 12 months: MCPs and agent skills cover the main deploy and operations workflows, and internal teams reach for them day to day In 12 months: Observability is live in production, not just planned. Telemetry gives real visibility into every deployed instance, so “is it healthy” is a dashboard, not a Slack message to you In 12 months: First steps are made towards a fully cloud-native infrastructure setup that could power a SaaS solution Synera is a place where everyone can grow.
