Job description
About zaimler
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 growing and deploying with major enterprises across insurance, travel, and technology. If you want to build infrastructure that the next decade of enterprise AI runs on, we'd love to talk.
The Role
You'll be zaimler's first product hire. The platform exists, enterprise customers are live, and now we need someone to own the path from early traction to real adoption. That means defining what "knowledge as an API" looks like as a product, shaping the SDK and developer experience, and making the platform something customers pull into their stack rather than something we push.
This is a deeply technical, cross-functional role. You'll work directly with the founders, engineering, design, and GTM to drive product direction, and you'll spend real time with enterprise customers and ISV partners in the data and ML ecosystem to ground every decision in what actually matters.
What You'll Do
Own the product end to end: vision, strategy, roadmap, execution, launch, and iteration for zaimler's platform capabilities
Define and ship the core product surfaces: platform APIs, SDKs, developer experience, and the product interfaces that make zaimler's infrastructure accessible and self-serve
Partner directly with enterprise customers and ISV partners to understand workflows, validate solutions, and prioritize the highest-impact work
Drive adoption by working with engineering, design, sales, and marketing to ship features that move measurable customer outcomes
Establish product metrics and feedback loops that connect what you're shipping to the value customers are getting
Collaborate closely with the founders to align product initiatives with business goals, company narrative, and competitive positioning
Must-haves
10+ years in product, including at cloud, data platform, developer platform, or ML infrastructure companies
At least one product you owned from 0 to 1 through real external adoption, not just optimization of an existing surface
You've shipped a developer-facing, API- or SDK-first product that external engineering teams actually adopted. You treat developer experience as a product discipline, not a docs afterthought
Deep fluency in how enterprise data and ML teams actually work: integration patterns, the buying and adoption path, and the gap between a demo and production
Comfortable operating across the full range from engineers to executives and CIOs, able to hold your own in technical conversations even without an engineering background
Track record shipping cross-functional products with engineering and design, and comfort being the external product voice with design partners and ISVs
Nice-to-haves
CS or engineering background, or equivalent technical depth
Experience working with large enterprise customers and ISV partners, particularly in data or ML ecosystems
Background in knowledge graphs, semantic technologies, or AI infrastructure
0 to 1 alongside founders at an early-stage startup
Working style
You'd rather talk to a customer than write a PRD, and you use what you learn to make the PRD better
You're comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and iterating fast
You think about adoption as a product problem, not a marketing problem
Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary benchmarked to the San Mateo / Bay Area market
Meaningful early-stage equity
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Flexible PTO
On-site in San Mateo, CA
Commuter benefits
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.
