PAbout Advertima Vision Advertima is building the missing infrastructure that brings the power of digital advertising to the physical world. /p pToday, most advertising inside physical retail stores still operates like the internet did twenty years ago: static screens, no audience intelligence, and almost no measurable performance. /p pMeanwhile, online advertising evolved into a trillion-dollar ecosystem powered by real-time data, automation, and programmatic infrastructure. /p pWe are changing that. /p pAdvertima has built the technology that transforms physical retail environments into real-time, data-driven media channels. /p pUsing computer vision, edge computing, and distributed AI systems, we translate physical shoppers into anonymized digital audiences that can be measured, targeted, and activated in real time. /p pThis is not a theoretical vision or an incremental improvement. /p pIt is the creation of a completely new global technology standard. /p pGlobal retail leaders such as Walmart, Carrefour, FairPrice, SPAR, and EDEKA are deploying our technology across thousands of stores. /p pTogether, we are defining the global standard for In-store Retail Media. /p pBut building the infrastructure is only one part of the problem. /p pThe next major challenge is turning real-world, imperfect, high-volume sensor data into reliable measurement and forecasting systems. /p pIn online advertising, this layer defines how performance is measured, how budgets are allocated, and how value is created. /p pIn physical retail, this layer does not exist yet. /p pWe are building it. /p pAt the same time, everything we build follows a strict privacy-by-design philosophy. /p pOur systems operate without processing and storing personal data or images, while still enabling the audience intelligence required for real-time performance media. /p pThis approach, rooted in Switzerland’s strong privacy culture, has become one of the key reasons global retailers trust Advertima to power their next-generation Retail Media infrastructure. /p pSolving this combination of distributed systems, edge computing, AI inference, privacy-preserving data processing, and global-scale reliability is a hard engineering problem. /p pThat is exactly why we are building our core engineering team in Zurich. /p pIf you enjoy working on complex real-world systems, pushing the boundaries of edge and cloud infrastructure, and helping define a new global technology category, Advertima offers a rare opportunity. /lili Job Overview We are looking for a Data Engineer to help build the data backbone of a completely new media channel. /p pOur platform captures real-world shopper behavior through distributed edge systems and turns it into high-volume, real-time data streams. /p pYour job is to transform this raw, imperfect data into reliable, scalable data products that power measurement, forecasting, and decision-making across the Retail Media ecosystem. /p pThis is not a typical data platform. /p pYou will work on systems that: process continuous data streams from thousands of physical touchpoints turn noisy, real-world signals into structured, trustworthy datasets power measurement, attribution, and forecasting models enable real-time and batch decision-making across the adtech ecosystem Technically, this means building and operating a modern data stack combining real-time streaming, large-scale batch processing, and lakehouse architectures — bridging edge-generated data with cloud-based analytics and applications. /p pYou will join a team that values pragmatic engineering, clean abstractions, and systems that actually work in production under real-world conditions. /p pYour role… Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines using Spark and Python to process diverse, high-volume datasets. /p pImplement and optimize storage layers (Apache Iceberg, Avro, Hadoop) and cloud-native object stores (S3/GCS) for high-performance querying via Trino. /p pBuild, manage, and scale real-time data ingestion pipelines using Kafka and MQTT. /p pCreate REST APIs, build intuitive visualizations with Apache Superset, and maintain data contracts for external and internal sharing. /p pCollaborate closely with Data Scientists and Backend Engineers to turn raw data into features and integrate data products into core applications. /p pYour profile… BSc/MSc Degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. /p pAt least 5 years of experience in data engineering or software development. /p pProgramming languages: Python (proficient, with deep understanding of Spark internals and REST APIs). /p pStrong SQL skills with hands-on experience in distributed querying (Trino) and event-driven architectures (Kafka, MQTT). /p pExperience with big data infrastructure (Hadoop, Iceberg) and containerized development workflows (Docker). /p pA good communicator who is fluent in English, both spoken and written. /lili Ideally, you also have some experience in any of the following... /p pRust: You have an interest in—or professional experience with—using Rust for high-performance data tooling or systems programming. /p pCloud Infrastructure and managed data services (AWS, GCP, Azure). /p pInfrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible). /p pObservability, monitoring, and tracing (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK/Loki). /lili Why Advertima Vision?
