PAbout Advertima Vision Advertima is building the missing infrastructure that brings the power of digital advertising to the physical world. /p pRetail Media has become one of the largest disruptions in the history of advertising. /p pAnalysts expect the global Retail Media market to exceed $300 billion by 2030, representing nearly one-fourth of total global advertising spend. /p pBut there is a major problem: while Retail Media exploded online, physical stores - where around 90% of shopping is still expected to happen well into the next decade - still lack the technological capabilities required to participate in this transformation at the same level. /p pMost in-store advertising today still operates like the internet did twenty years ago: static screens, no audience intelligence, no real-time targeting, and almost no measurable performance. /p pWe are changing that. /p pAdvertima created and leads the category of In-store Audience Intelligence that will transform the media space within the next five years. /p pUsing Computer Vision, edge computing, distributed AI systems, and privacy-by-design infrastructure, we transform physical retail environments into real-time, data-driven media channels. /p pOur technology captures what happens in physical stores in real time, translates physical shoppers into anonymized digital audiences, and enables these audiences to be measured, segmented, targeted, forecasted, and activated across Retail Media channels. /p pThis is not an incremental improvement. /p pWe believe the market is massively underestimating how much advertising spend will shift into stores once physical retail environments gain the same audience intelligence and performance capabilities that transformed online advertising. /p pAnd this shift will not only come from online Retail Media or traditional media categories. /p pWe believe advertising funds will increasingly move from across the broader media ecosystem - including Search, Social, DOOH, and other traditional media - into physical retail environments once stores get real-time performance media capabilities. /p pAt Advertima, we created the category and are leading this transition on a global level. /p pOur systems already operate across global retail networks with companies such as Walmart, Carrefour, FairPrice, SPAR, and EDEKA. /p pWe are scaling from hundreds and thousands of deployed edge AI devices toward a global infrastructure layer for in-store Retail Media. /p pThe technical challenge behind this is massive: real-time Computer Vision, audience prediction, edge AI, cloud APIs, distributed fleet management, privacy-by-design architecture, system reliability, and integration into the global AdTech ecosystem. /p pThat requires world-class technology leadership. /p pJob Overview Your role… Lead the Technology Organization You will lead Advertima’s full Technology organization and report directly to the CEO. /p pYou will be responsible for building, scaling, and operating the technical foundation of the company across: Vision AI Audience AI Software Engineering Platform Engineering Site Reliability DevOps / MLOps Fleet Management Edge- and Cloud APIs Edge infrastructure Hardware Network Your mission is to continuously evolve Advertima’s technology to support scalable, reliable, secure, and globally distributed enterprise deployments. Own the Technical Strategy You will define and own Advertima’s technology strategy together with the co-founding CEO and CPO, and the technical leadership team. /p pThis includes architectural direction, platform scalability, technical priorities, build-versus-buy decisions, engineering standards, reliability principles, and long-term technology bets. /p pYou are the person who makes sure the company’s strategic ambition is technically possible, technically scalable, and technically defensible. /p pBuild the Operating System of Physical Retail Media Advertima is not building another SaaS dashboard. /p pWe are building a real-world infrastructure layer that connects physical retail environments with the digital advertising ecosystem. /p pThat means your organization must master the full technical chain: capturing physical shoppers through Computer Vision transforming physical-world signals into privacy-safe audience intelligence running AI inference on edge devices managing distributed hardware fleets exposing reliable cloud APIs integrating with CMS, SSP, DSP, and Retail Media platforms ensuring uptime, observability, security, and scalability across global deployments Scale Engineering from Deep-Tech to Enterprise Infrastructure You will lead the transition from a deep-tech company with strong innovation capabilities into a scalable technology organization that can support global enterprise customers. /p pYour focus will be: engineering quality architectural clarity delivery discipline system reliability operational scalability technical accountability team performance You will create the structures, standards, and leadership culture required to scale without losing speed. /p pLead and Upgrade the Technical Leadership Team You will lead and develop the heads of Vision AI, Audience AI, Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, and related technical functions. /p pYou will attract senior technical talent, raise the bar across the organization, and make sure our strongest engineers can do the best work of their careers. /p pThis role requires someone who can lead strong technical personalities, challenge weak thinking, remove complexity, and create a high-performance engineering culture. /p pOwn Architecture, Reliability, and Delivery You will ensure that our technology works in thousands of stores, across countries, retailers, hardware setups, network conditions, CMS environments, and AdTech integrations. /p pYou will take ownership of: system architecture edge and cloud scalability reliability and uptime deployment processes observability security privacy-by-design execution technical delivery The goal is simple: Advertima’s technology must work reliably at global scale. /p pPartner Across Product, Commercial, and Delivery You will work closely with Product, Customer Success, Delivery, Market Development, and Commercial teams. /p pTogether with the CEO and the leadership team, you will define the company strategy. /p pProduct translates market needs and the company strategy into product direction. /p pTechnology defines how we build the infrastructure that makes this strategy real. /p pYou will ensure that technology is not isolated from the market, but directly connected to customer reality, commercial priorities, and deployment complexity. /p pYour profile… Educational Background Advance degree
