Job description

SmartSpotter was founded in 2012 out of frustration with the lack of transparency between retailers and suppliers. Today, we help major brands and retailers make their agreements visible, measurable, and actionable through smart technical solutions. Our mission: a world where every retail agreement is honored — and you can be part of that mission.

What we offer?

• A technically challenging role within a small but steadily growing team.
• The opportunity to build software that is used by major brands and retailers.
• Full freedom for your ideas, initiatives, and entrepreneurial spirit.
• A competitive salary and a laptop for full-time employment.

At SmartSpotter, being a Developer means more than just writing code. You’ll ensure that thousands of Spotters and our international clients can rely on fast, user-friendly, and stable software. Working closely with our commercial and operational teams, you’ll have a direct influence on the strategic direction of our company.

From day one, you’ll be encouraged — and expected — to:

• Take ownership and propose new products and innovations.
• Collaborate on how we can serve our clients even better.
• Critically assess and improve our development processes.
• Explore new markets through your technical solutions.
  
  
  

In short: you’re not just a builder — you’re also a creator and strategist.

Our Technology stack:

Our primary stack is Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and React. We also develop our native mobile apps (iOS & Android) fully in-house. Experience with web frameworks similar to Rails is required; experience with Rails and native app development is a strong plus.

Who are we looking for?

• You have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or equivalent experience.
• You have experience developing web applications in Rails or similar frameworks.
• You are skilled with Git, Linux, SQL, JavaScript, and React.
• You are ambitious, creative, and entrepreneurial.
• You identify with our core values: Accessibility, Pragmatism, Thoroughness, and Breaking down barriers.
