Full Stack Engineer - ID Scanning

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. It provides actionable insights to help businesses in a variety of industries. Join us as we continue to expand, grow, 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!

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
