Senior Full-stack Engineer - Usage Tracking (Rails / Python)

At Scandit, we develop smart data capture technology that enables businesses to use smart devices to extract data from barcodes, ID documents, text and objects.

About the Role 

Our analytics infrastructure handles non-trivial amounts of data: tens of billions of analytics events from hundreds of millions of devices. The Usage Tracking Team is responsible for developing business-critical tools that enable internal teams and customers alike to make sense of the data.

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join the Usage Tracking Team and help us handle another 10x increase in scale, continue improving the analytics pipelines, and develop new ways to present our data in analytics dashboards for internal teams and our customers.

What You Will Do

  • Manage and maintain the large code base
  • Add features to our serverless API written in Python
  • Build our customer-facing dashboard in React/TypeScript
  • Make changes for bespoke customer requirements, ensuring other services to other customers remain unaffected
  • Refactor applications written in Ruby on Rails
  • Deploy to Kubernetes from GitLab CI
  • Set up end-to-end integration tests to make sure making changes is worry free

Who You Are

You are a strong full-stack engineer with experience programming in Ruby on Rails and managing large code bases. Ideally, you also have some professional experience with python. You enjoy complex projects and developing solutions with the end-user in mind, while never compromising on quality and performance when it comes to your code.

Backend processes are your specialty but you have some frontend experience and understand the importance of excellent UI and data visualization. You’re willing to go beyond your role, your team and (sometimes) your comfort zone to make a cross-functional impact on the business.

  • Existing Ruby on Rails applications and Python for new projects
  • React/TypeScript for dashboards
  • Clickhouse is our analytics database of choice
  • MySQL and PostgreSQL 
  • AWS, Kubernetes, GitLab CI

  • We start every team meeting discussing new technologies, not problems
  • Our team speaks English and is located in Switzerland, Finland, Poland and remotely across Europe and the UK (please see below the list of countries we can hire in*)
  • Scrum with 2-week sprints
  • Most of the team uses macOS but are proficient with Linux

  • Jira for ticket management
  • We ensure high quality, regression free code by following best practices, code reviews and using TDD and BDD
  • Confluence as a wiki for documentation
  • Slack for conversations
  • Google Workspace for email, calendar, documents
  • Zoom for video conferencing

What We Offer

  • A highly skilled team and a fun environment where you can put your enthusiasm for cutting-edge technologies to us

  • A highly skilled and helpful team of international researchers, scientists and engineers to work with
  • Internal hackathons, annual all-company trip, multiple company outings and social events, other regular events
