Job description

Advertima is building the missing infrastructure that brings the power of digital advertising to the physical world.

Today, 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.

We are changing that—Advertima 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.

Global retail leaders such as Walmart, Carrefour, FairPrice, SPAR, and EDEKA are deploying our technology across thousands of stores, defining the global standard for In‑store Retail Media.

All of this is built with a strict privacy‑by‑design philosophy: no personal data or images are processed or stored, yet we deliver audience intelligence required for real‑time performance media. This approach, rooted in Switzerland’s strong privacy culture, has earned the trust of our global retail partners.

Job Overview

• Design, architect, implement, and optimize core components for our real‑time computer vision platform and retail media applications.
• Actively participate in the analysis and discussion of business requirements with other team members.

• Collaborate across functions and maintain a high level of technical excellence.

Your Profile

• BSc/MSc or PhD in Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• At least 5 years of experience in software development.
• Programming languages: Rust and/or a low‑level language such as C/C++ (eager to learn Rust).
• Experience in network programming, preferably in IoT environments.
• Experience with agile software development and quality standards.
• Strong communicator fluent in English, both spoken and written.

Ideal Experience

• Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Machine Learning.
• Retail Media, RetailTech.
• Parallel or concurrent programming (CUDA, SIMD).
• Hands‑on experience with Nvidia Jetson devices.

Benefits

• Innovative Environment: work with computer vision, IoT, edge computing, and real‑time data pipelines.
• Global Impact: collaborate with the world’s largest retailers and shape unified omnichannel Retail Media.
• Professional Growth: new leadership and specialist roles as Advertima expands.
• Supportive Culture: collaboration, operational excellence, no corporate fluff.
• Fast‑Paced, International Startup Environment: high‑growth scale‑up with flexible processes.
• Flexible Work Policies: hybrid environment balancing personal and professional life.
• Employee Participation Plan: success tied to company success.
• Self‑Development Budget for professional growth.
