About us

Visual Layer, now part of Camtek, is building its AI Software center in Tel Aviv. Visual Layer's core engine understands visual data at scale: it finds duplicates, outliers, mislabels, and anomalies across millions of images without manual tagging. Camtek builds inspection and metrology systems for the semiconductor industry. Together, we are bringing state-of-the-art AI software products into high-volume industrial inspection. The research team is small and senior: PhDs and published researchers working next to fast, production-minded engineers. We build, and we ship.

About the Role

Visual Layer, part of Camtek, is looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to develop scalable AI-powered backend systems for visual data analysis in the semiconductor industry. You will build data pipelines, search services, and APIs that process millions of images, working closely with AI researchers and engineering teams.
