h3About Advertima Vision /h3 pAdvertima 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. Meanwhile, 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. Using 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. It 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. Together, we are defining the global standard for In-store Retail Media. /p pThe technical challenge behind this is massive. Our platform operates across large fleets of edge AI devices deployed globally, processes real-world sensor data in real time, and integrates with complex cloud infrastructure and the global adtech ecosystem. /p pAt the same time, everything we build follows a strict privacy-by-design philosophy. Our systems operate without processing and storing personal data or images, while still enabling the audience intelligence required for real-time performance media. This 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. That 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. /p h3Job Overview /h3 pAs the Lead Site Reliability Engineer at Advertima, you will architect the systems and shape the team that owns the resilience of our unique hybrid ecosystem.
