Product Intelligence Analyst [100%], Zürich /Hybrid

About Optiml

Optiml builds REDI — Real Estate Decision Intelligence software, an enterprise platform that models upgrade pathways and capital allocation decisions for real estate portfolios. Our clients include leading asset managers and insurers who use REDI to optimize capital allocation, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

To strengthen the strategic intelligence behind the platform, Optiml is building REDIˣ, the intelligence layer embedded within organization across Product and Go-to-market (GTM). REDIˣ combines optimization models, market intelligence, and portfolio analytics to help investors make better long-term decisions. By translating market signals—interest rates, energy prices, regulation, and technology costs—into portfolio strategies, REDIˣ enables horizon-aware decision intelligence for real estate investors.

We are an ETH Zurich spin-off that launched our first product in April 2024 and are now scaling across Europe and the US. We recently raised an oversubscribed €8M Seed round to accelerate our growth, supported by leading VCs such as KOMPAS, Planet A Ventures, Innovation Endeavors (the fund of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt), BitStone Capital, and The Bau Ventures, along with leading angels.

Built on more than a decade of research and proprietary IP, our platform enables institutional investors, owners, and asset managers to make underwritable, forward-looking decisions across the full asset lifecycle — from acquisition to exit — replacing static, backward-looking reports with actionable intelligence.

Trusted by leading organizations across Europe and beyond, Optiml supports capital allocation decisions that balance key financial, regulatory, and sustainable considerations under real-world constraints.
