What is Omni?

Omni is a business-intelligence and analytics platform that combines the flexibility of ad-hoc SQL exploration with the governance of a shared semantic model. The idea is to give a company one trusted definition of its metrics, with shared permissions and Git-based version control, that both people (through dashboards and self-serve analysis) and AI agents can rely on as a source of truth. Omni sits on top of the modern data warehouse and integrates with Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, Postgres, ClickHouse, and other platforms rather than storing the data itself. The company positions this governed semantic layer as the foundation for enterprise AI analytics, so that AI answers about the business are grounded in consistent, permissioned definitions. Omni was founded in 2022 by Colin Zima (CEO), Chris Merrick, and Jamie Davidson, a team with deep roots at Looker (the BI company Google acquired), which shapes its point of view on semantic modeling and metrics. It is based in San Francisco. Omni has raised roughly $236M in total; its Series C in 2026 was $120M at a $1.5B valuation, led by ICONIQ with participation from Theory Ventures, First Round Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and GV. It is a fast-growing, well-funded company, though still lean.

Mission & values

Turn a company's data into a single trusted source of truth that both people and AI can use, by pairing flexible exploration with a governed semantic model.

Qualifications

Omni hires across engineering (backend, full-stack, frontend, data and query engines, applied AI for its analytics and agent features, infrastructure, security), product, design, developer relations and analytics engineering, plus solutions/sales engineering, customer success and support, sales, and marketing. Application flow lives at omni.co/careers. Because the product is a semantic BI platform over the data warehouse, engineering roles value experience with SQL engines, data modeling, warehouse internals, and building for analysts, while customer-facing roles benefit from BI, analytics-engineering, or data-team experience. It is San Francisco-based and remote-friendly; many US roles are remote or hybrid, though some prefer Bay Area proximity. Check each posting. As a well-funded but lean company, hires are highly impactful and equity is a meaningful part of compensation.
