Full description
Imagine the What. Build the How.
Scandit gives people superpowers. Whether enabling delivery drivers to make quicker deliveries, matching a patient with their medication or allowing retailers to make store operations more efficient, our technology automates workflows and provides actionable insights to help businesses in a variety of industries. Join us, as we continue to expand, grow and innovate, and help take Scandit to the next level.
Our ID Capture SDK runs real-time, AR-style computer vision live on the phone camera, on millions of devices. More and more of what our users need now lives next to it, on the web and in the cloud. As a Full Stack Engineer in the ID Capture team, you will build that side: the services, APIs and web interfaces behind our identity verification solutions. You will also build a backend AI routing layer that decides which model handles each request.
You will join the small team of engineers building ID Capture's cloud and web products: short path from idea to user, and a product that connects live on-device computer vision with modern AI services.
If these challenges sound interesting to you, we'd love to hear from you!
Our Approach To AI
AI is part of how we work. Scandit embraces AI-native engineering, where engineers direct agents to deliver customer outcomes, using the tools they choose. We want to know how you use them, where you’ve hit their limits, and how you keep improving human-agent collaboration. We take pride in our craft, and that means making sure what agents deliver meets our quality bar.
About the Role
You will work across frontend and backend, own features end to end, and use AI tools every day to move fast. In your first 6–12 months, you will ship a production web service, backend and frontend, that users rely on alongside the ID Capture SDK.
What You Will Do
- Build and run backend services in Python that power our identity verification solutions
- Build web interfaces and internal tooling in TypeScript, from first prototype to production
- Design APIs and data models, and own reliability, monitoring and security of what you ship
- Work with our C++, iOS, Android and ML engineers to connect our on-device products to the cloud
- Use AI coding tools to prototype quickly, then harden what works
Our Tech Stack
- Python
- JavaScript / TypeScript
- PostgreSQL
- Cloud (AWS / GCP)
- LLM / VLM APIs
Who You Are
We are looking for a full stack engineer who is comfortable across the stack, from API design and data modelling to UI. You move things forward without waiting for detailed specs, and you handle sensitive data carefully, with privacy in mind.
