About Mashgin
Mashgin powers the world's best checkout experience for over 40 million users. Customers just place their items on our kiosks and our AI rings up their entire order in less than a second. With Mashgin, lines are now optional.

Mashgin's technology powers over 1 billion transactions at your favorite locations, including over half of all US professional sports teams, 4,000 convenience stores, major airports, universities, and more.

We’re not just building cutting-edge AI—we’re creating real-world impact and unforgettable experiences. Backed by a well-funded Series B, we’re also one of the rare AI startups that’s already profitable.

Our secret? A culture of extreme ownership, autonomy, and customer obsession. At Mashgin, we are building something extraordinary by challenging conventional wisdom. We’ve thrown out the old rules to focus on what truly matters: creating a kickass product that makes people say, 'Wow'. We don’t care about short-term wins; we build systems that stand the test of time. If you thrive in a culture of excellence without compromise and want to see your work have an immediate, remarkable impact, you’re in the right place.

Position Summary
For this role, we’re looking for a frontend-focused engineer to help build usable interfaces for our customers, business clients, and internal team. As a part of Mashgin, you’ll build products not just for the web but on hardware that’s used by thousands of people a day in every location we deploy to. The key to our technology is machine learning, but it’s useless without amazing design and interfaces. As part of a small team you’ll be making a huge impact on the current product and new expansions of our platform.

What We Value:

  • Impact: You will own significant responsibility and have total ownership over your code. We stay lean and efficient, so your work directly impacts the product we ship every day.
  • Simplicity: Complexity is a waste of time here—we take pride in building things that just work.
  • Hard Work: Forget the glamorous research papers. We prioritize the hard work it takes to achieve real-world clarity and accuracy. You will innovate relentlessly to push the boundaries of what’s possible in visual automation.
  • Humility: No task is beneath you. Whether it's high-level architecture or grunt work to fix a bug, we check our egos at the door and get real work done.
  • Ruthless Prioritization: If everything is on fire, nothing is. You will be expected to prioritize ruthlessly, cutting through distractions to focus on the most impactful product improvements.
  • Customer Innovation: We are customer-centric, not customer-pleasing. You won’t bend to every client demand; you will let innovation drive the product forward to solve the real problems our users face.
  • Efficiency: Meetings suck. We keep them short and only use them for alignment, giving you your time back to focus on real work.

You Will Be

  • Working with a small interdisciplinary team in hardware and software to design and build new versions of products from scratch
  • Reimagining and refactoring existing interfaces to improve customer experience
  • Maintaining and improving current web and mobile codebases
  • Developing internal tools and UIs to help us scale faster

Minimum Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience working in web development
  • Expertise in building complex web layouts with CSS and Javascript
  • Experience shipping consumer-facing, production-ready products
  • Experience with Node.js, Vue.js or Python
  • Familiarity with modern web best practices
  • Strong design sense, and the ability to empathize with many different types of users

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in a fast-paced work environment, shipping quality code quickly and iterating
  • Strong understanding of UX design principles
  • Strong attention to detail and spending the time to make products truly magical to customers
  • Comfortable throwing away most of your design work (as you should know, UI design is a very iterative process!)

What We Offer

  • An opportunity to work on a small, multidisciplinary team with the potential to break new ground in many different industries
  • Excellent health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents
  • 401k plan
  • Flexible PTO policy
  • Competitive salary and options in a small, rapidly scaling company
