What they're building

Today: Place your items, tap to pay, and go in 5 seconds. No scanning, no long lines.

Roles: Software Engineer, Full-Stack · Software Engineer, Infrastructure · Software Engineer, Full Stack · Senior Software Engineer, Product

Requirements mention: full-stack developer · traditional web stacks · extensive infrastructure · infrastructure behind them · multiple languages · end-to-end ownership of projects

Inference: the company is adding engineers to build and run the software on its kiosks and the infrastructure behind them. There are five open postings: three in Palo Alto, CA and two remote in Belo Horizonte and Curitiba. Most opened between January and March 2026, and the Product role has been open since January 2023.

Computer vision and deep learning for checkout moderate signal

Roles: Senior Software Engineer, Computer Vision and Deep Learning · Senior Software Engineer, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence · Builder

Requirements mention: Computer Vision · Deep Learning · computer vision algorithms · ML/AI · deep learning techniques · computer vision models running on-device

Inference: the two senior CV/DL and ML/AI postings have been open since January 2023, which points to ongoing demand for vision talent rather than a new push. The Builder posting shows some of this work covers models running on the kiosk itself.

Kiosk hardware moderate signal

Today: Kiosks where customers just place items, pay, and go.

Roles: Hardware Validation Engineer · Electrical Engineer · Hardware Operations Specialist

Requirements mention: hardware design · comfortable working with physical hardware · communicate technical risks · timelines and milestones

Inference: the company is building out its hardware team in San Jose, CA. All three roles opened in September or October 2026, and the Electrical Engineer posting calls the role "a primary driver of the company's hardware evolution".

Kiosks as point-of-sale devices weak signal

Today: Customers just place items, pay, and go.

Roles: Software Engineering Manager

Requirements mention: point-of-sale devices · services behind them · led a team · technical direction

Where the headcount is going

DepartmentOpen
Research & Development9
Sales & Marketing1

All 13 open roles sit in Research & Development, with 8 in Palo Alto, CA and 3 in San Jose, CA. The newest openings lean toward San Jose hardware plus a Palo Alto Software Engineering Manager, and one Palo Alto Senior Software Engineer posting gives no requirements to place it.

Who they need

Seniority: 4 senior, 1 manager, 1 junior; 7 roles do not state a level.

Skills named most: kiosks, full-stack development, traditional web stacks, cloud infrastructure, computer vision, deep learning, hardware design, point-of-sale devices, dashboards, multiple languages, comfortable working with physical hardware, end-to-end ownership

Locations: Palo Alto, CA (8) and San Jose, CA (3) are listed as not remote, though the site describes a Hybrid Remote Environment, so confirm office expectations. Belo Horizonte (1) and Curitiba (1) are remote roles; the postings give no country beyond these city names.

How to use this

If you're applying: Apply to the full-stack and infrastructure roles if you have web stack and infrastructure experience, and check the Belo Horizonte or Curitiba postings if you need remote work. Computer vision roles are in Palo Alto, CA and have been open since 2023. Hardware roles are in San Jose, CA and are the newest openings.

If you're selling or recruiting: Start with the newest requisitions: the three San Jose hardware roles (opened September to October 2026) and the Palo Alto Software Engineering Manager (opened October 2026). Next is the kiosk software build-out: five Research & Development postings, three in Palo Alto, CA and two remote in Belo Horizonte and Curitiba. The senior computer vision and ML postings have been open since January 2023 and look like standing requisitions.
