Forward Deployed Engineer

AI agents can't reason over data they don't understand. Enterprise data today is fragmented across dozens of systems with no shared context, meaning, or structure, and that's why most enterprise AI is failing. The shift from copilots to autonomous agents is creating an entirely new infrastructure layer, and we're building it.

zaimler is the context infrastructure for the agentic era: a platform that automatically discovers domain knowledge, maps relationships, and gives AI agents the semantic understanding to operate with precision at scale. Imagine knowledge graphs that support real-time inference, built for systems that need to reason, not just retrieve.

zaimler was founded by Biswajit Das (ex-VP Engineering, Truera), a Data Infra veteran and former Chief Architect at Visa, and Sofus Macskassy (ex-Director of Engineering, LinkedIn), who built one of the largest knowledge graphs in production in the industry at LinkedIn. We're a small, senior team at the seed stage, deploying with major enterprises across insurance, travel, and technology. If you want to build infrastructure that the next decade of AI runs on, we'd love to talk.

We’re looking for a Forward-Deployed Engineer to join our founding team and bring our AI-native data infrastructure to life in real-world environments. This is a hybrid role blending infrastructure, product, and delivery—you’ll work across systems, tools, and teams to bring new deployments from concept to scale. Think of it as a "jack-of-all-systems" role: one foot in Kubernetes and Ray clusters, the other in semantic pipelines and user-facing use cases. You’ll be a first responder, architect, and operator—deploying zaimler’s semantic infrastructure into dynamic enterprise settings, collaborating closely with ML and infra engineers, and making sure customers get value from day one.

We value builders over résumés. If this role excites you but you don't check every box, we still want to hear from you. zaimler is an equal opportunity employer.
