Job Description

You don't just want to read about AI, but actually build it for real customers? Then you've come to the right place.

apexAI (Elevate Solutions GmbH) is a Bern-based AI startup that supports Swiss SMEs in their AI transformation. We develop AI agents, automations, and customized AI software solutions for companies across a wide range of industries.

We are three founders with complementary strengths in business, engineering, and AI. Now we are looking for reinforcements: a technically skilled person who will work directly with us on customer projects, independently develop solutions, and take on responsibility.
