About Advertima

Advertima is building the Audience Intelligence Layer for In-Store Retail Media. We use computer vision, edge computing and distributed AI to make in-store audiences measurable and addressable, with privacy built into the technology.

Our platform spans fleets of edge AI devices, real-time data processing, cloud infrastructure and AdTech integrations. That mix creates engineering challenges across physical stores and software systems. We are growing our core engineering team in Zurich to solve them.

Why join Advertima

• Solve complex engineering problems. Work across cloud infrastructure, distributed edge environments and AI workloads in real-world retail deployments.

• Shape the platform. Help evolve the internal platform, tooling and practices that allow our teams to build and operate reliably at scale.

• See the impact of your work. Collaborate with engineering, machine learning, hardware, product and customer-facing teams. Your work will affect systems running in stores.

• Grow and share in our progress. We offer an employee participation plan, an individual development budget and a hybrid work setup with in-person collaboration in Zurich.
