About SeMI Technologies & Weaviate

SeMI Technologies is a global remote-first startup, with teams hailing from many different parts of the world, where it is not totally uncommon for someone to work remotely from fun places (like a camping site). While this gives you freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere and any time, we are looking for people who are comfortable working independently, who are proactive and take ownership, and people who communicate effectively.

Our flagship product is Weaviate a Vector Search engine & database, which uses machine learning to organize and search data in a completely new way.

At SeMI we believe that the next wave of software infrastructure is AI-first and that a strong open-source community is a basis for creating high-quality software.
