Software Engineer II

About us

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

The Software Engineer II will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. You can work from home anywhere in Switzerland. We have no office requirement. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
