Optiml is revolutionizing real estate with our Real Estate Decision Intelligence (REDI) software—a new category of AI-powered technology that helps decarbonize buildings while optimizing asset & portfolio performance.

Since our launch in April 2024, we have been scaling across Europe and the US, receiving significant industry recognition and winning three major Prop Tech awards, including:

🏆 2024 ULI Europe Prop Tech of the Year
🏆 2024 ZIA Prop Tech of the Year

We are backed by $6M in pre‑seed funding from top‑tier US and EU funds, including Innovation Endeavors, Planet A, Bit Stone, and Kompas.

• Build and maintain user‑facing features using React and Type Script
• Help turn UI/UX designs into responsive, performant interfaces
• Work with teammates to integrate backend APIs
• Participate in the full development lifecycle: planning, coding, testing, and iteration
• Collaborate on code reviews, architecture discussions, and product improvements

This is an on‑site role in our Zurich office — ideal if you enjoy working closely with a small, dynamic team.

Who We’re Looking For

• Has 1–3 years of professional experience or is a recent graduate in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a similar field
• Can write clean JavaScript/Type Script and has practical experience with React (projects, internships, coursework, or early career)
• Understands the basics of component architecture, state management, and responsive design
• Is eager to learn — you build things, ask questions, and take ownership of your growth
• Communicates clearly in English and collaborates well with others
• Can work physically from our Zurich office

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Interest in UI/UX design principles
• Exposure to backend APIs (REST/Graph
  
  QL)
• Some personal or academic experience with testing frameworks (e.g., Jest)

• Direct impact on the product and go‑to‑market direction of Optiml
• Unique opportunity to learn: try, fail, iterate, and build new skills every day — in a culture that values growth & development individually and as a team
• Learning and development budget (conferences, certificates, etc.)
• Team‑focused culture with support and flexibility
