About Mashgin
At Mashgin, we have developed a successful and innovative point-of-sale experience that uses computer vision and AI to make checkout nearly instantaneous. Our mission is to eliminate checkout lines so people can get back to their lives.
Our kiosks are currently serving customers in thousands of locations around the world, from major sports stadiums to convenience stores, from college campuses to corporate cafeterias. We are a series B startup with 10 years of progress, and we’re already profitable. And we’re just getting started.
We value autonomy of work, a relentless obsession with customer experience (both our customers and their end-customers), and a culture of respect and fun.
Position Summary
We’re looking for a backend developer to help us build the software that runs our kiosks and powers the extensive infrastructure behind them. You’ll work on code that interfaces with our hardware and visual components, making sure kiosks are reliable, and building scalable backend systems. This is not a specialized position -- we believe in end-to-end ownership of projects, so you’ll be involved throughout the entire product lifecycle, from idea generation, design, and prototyping to execution, and shipping while contributing to many different parts of the codebase in multiple languages.

  • Rethinking and recreating existing codebases for scale
  • Continuously improving and maintaining code that’s already in production

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years relevant coding experience
  • B.S. or higher in Computer Science (or equivalent work experience)
  • Excellent knowledge of one or more of these languages: Python, Node.js, C++, Go, C#, Java
  • Comfortable learning new languages, libraries, and frameworks when the solution calls for it
  • Experience building production-ready code that’s used regularly by lots of people

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in a fast-paced work environment, shipping quality code quickly and iterating
  • Comfortable with deploying and managing cloud infrastructure
  • Good knowledge of algorithms and data structures
  • Strong proficiency with SQL and other database technologies

What We Offer

  • An opportunity to work on a small, multidisciplinary team with the potential to break new ground in many different industries
  • Excellent health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents
  • 401k plan
  • Flexible PTO policy
  • Catered lunch in office with fully stocked snacks and beverages
  • Competitive salary and options in a small, rapidly scaling company
