Backend 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 Backend Engineer with deep experience in microservices architecture to join our founding Bangalore team. The ideal candidate will have expertise in building and operating distributed backend systems.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in designing, implementing, and scaling the core microservices that power our AI and data platform. You’ll help define service boundaries, build robust APIs, and ensure reliable communication across our ingestion, extraction, and knowledge graph systems.

As one of the early engineers in our Bangalore office, you’ll have the opportunity to shape both the technical foundations and the culture of a growing team, working closely with our counterparts in San Mateo to build the next generation of AI infrastructure.

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.
