- Contribute ideas to improve scalability, performance, and code quality.
- Global impact: Your code will support SmartBox systems used by businesses in 30+ countries.
- Growth environment: Learn directly from experienced developers across hardware and software.
- Real-world engineering: Work on a live SaaS + IoT platform that connects devices, data, and users daily.
