You would be making a difference for end users in hundreds of warehouses around the world. The web application runs on Android-based mobile scanning devices, as well as on PC's.

Our team works regularly with our end users across the globe to determine their greatest needs. Each new feature that is released is well-received by a hungry audience.

What a typical day looks like
Outside of our short daily scrum meetings, developers spend most of their time either developing, or collaborating with other team members. During each two-week sprint there are meetings for backlog grooming, sprint planning, a sprint demo, and a retrospective.
