Your Rapid Career Launchpad

Are you a highly driven graduate ready to bypass the typical corporate hierarchy and jump straight into core strategic development?
This is a Rapid Career Growth Opportunity where you will be an indispensable part of our mission from day one. We offer immediate, high-level exposure designed to maximize your learning curve:

• Direct Collaboration with the CTO: Work side-by-side with our highly experienced Chief Technology Officer on the most critical, strategic backend initiatives. You will not be an observer; you will be a key contributor in decision-making processes.

• Steepest Possible Learning Curve: We commit to accelerating your professional development. You’ll be immersed in modern cloud architecture, robotics-related backend systems, and cutting-edge AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GPT, Claude) to elevate your coding efficiency and problem-solving skills faster than anywhere else.
• True Interdisciplinary Experience: Work at the unique intersection of software and hardware, collaborating closely with our electronics and product teams to ensure seamless interaction between the cloud platform and the physical smart kiosk.
