About Zaimler
zaimler is building the semantic platform that links fragmented enterprise data and extracts meaning with knowledge-distilled models. Were creating the foundation for AI systems that dont just generate, but retrieve, link, and reason over enterprise knowledge.
In just over a year, weve begun partnering with Fortune 500 design partners in insurance, travel, and technology, deploying semantic AI infrastructure into some of the worlds most complex data ecosystems. Our platform enables enterprises to make data AI-ready from the start: automating ontology creation, data mapping, and retrieval-augmented reasoning at scale.
Our team comes from LinkedIn, Visa, Meta, and Branch, and has spent decades solving data and infrastructure challenges at scale. Backed by top VCs, were building the next foundational layer for enterprise AI.
The Role
Were looking for a Data Infrastructure Engineer to build the foundational distributed data layer that feeds our semantic platform. Youll design, build, and scale systems for high-throughput data ingestion, transformation, and real-time processing.
