- 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

- Comfortable with deploying and managing cloud infrastructure
- Good knowledge of algorithms and data structures

What the job involves
- We are seeking a Senior Backend Software Engineer with deep expertise in AdTech and advertising platform systems
- You’ll work on the codebase that enables us to develop advanced deep learning solutions that power Mashgin's checkout experience for millions of transactions per month across the world
- This role will have 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
- We maintain a flat, high-impact engineering culture where every engineer who joins our team carries the title of Member of Technical Staff
- Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your work. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day
- Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work
- Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual automation
- Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done
- Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements
- Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face
- Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work
- Owning major feature development and working directly with the founders on product development from end to end
- Working with a small interdisciplinary team in hardware, software and design to build new versions of products from scratch
- Work on building new features and dreaming up new architecture to solve challenging problems
- Build backend infrastructure to perform scalable training in the cloud
- Rethinking and recreating existing codebases for scale
- Continuously improving and maintaining code that’s already in production
Our take
Touted as the “world’s fastest” self-checkout system, Mashgin is an AI and computer vision-powered touchless checkout system that cuts down transaction times to as little as ten seconds.
Mashgin’s smart kiosks use cameras to create a three-dimensional picture of objects, unfettered by packaging or placement, increasing retail rate for companies and cutting down queues for consumers. Whilst the market for smart self-service has become increasingly crowded over the last decade, Mashgin set itself apart by being the most vetted computer-vision based self checkout system in the space.
The company is already profitable and its products have been used in convenience stores, cafeterias, sports arenas and hospitals. Having attracted significant funding, Mashgin is focused on growing its team, accelerating expansion, and scaling internationally.
