Job Description
Founded by ETH Zurich and MIT students in 2009, Scandit is the leading provider of high-performance solutions for barcode scanning with smartphones, tablets and wearables. Thousands of companies (such as Migros, Coop, Bayer, Shell, Verizon or NASA) and millions of users around the globe use the technology of our startup on their mobile phones. As part of our disruptive Internet of Things strategy, we run a massively scalable cloud infrastructure that lets our customers manage and analyze all their scans (including associated data) and leverage their full potential. More recently, we have started to build a platform for developers that lets them use modern, elegant web technologies to easily create business apps in the cloud — without writing a single line of native Android or iOS code. Our new platform will offer cloud services (such as a code distribution and device management service to keep track of all mobile devices in a larger organization) as well as corresponding mobile components (such as a database running on the phone that replicates its data to all other phones that are connected with the platform) to greatly simplify the development of mobile enterprise apps. Lots of very exciting engineering challenges lie ahead of us, and we are looking for new colleagues to join our young team of passionate software developers.

* You will manage the deployment of code to our production environment.
