I want to be an Undergrad Intern at Vend!
It used to be that to set up a retail store, you’d have to spend mega bucks buying receipt printers and cash drawers and barcode scanners, and then top it off with thousands of dollars for hard­-to -use software.Vend changes all that. Vend is a cloud­-based retail platform that enables retailers to accept payments, track customers, manage inventory, provide loyalty incentives and run business analytics.Got an iPad? Yup. Got $50 / month? Yup. You’re in!Since launching Vend at the end of 2010, we have signed up tens of thousands of users who sell all sorts of things. Pizza trucks. People selling supporter gear for the Ashes series. Footwear. Vets. Yarn. Furniture. Jewellery. And Mr Whippy.We have customers in more than 100 countries. Gambia ­ check. Uzbekistan ­ check. Work at Vend and you’ll come across currencies you never knew existed before (nice to meet you Costan Rican colón!).The tech side is pretty cutting edge too. Our core is built in PHP, but there is a lot of JavaScript wizardy in the front­end to make sure retailers can still use their POS even when offline. Our MySQL database gets hammered too, with hundreds of millions of rows and many updates each second. We use a number of tools to get the job done: Capistrano, Redis, Git / Github, Vagrant, Jenkins, Puppet, Resque, New Relic, Doctrine, MySQL, Objective C, PHP, JavaScript, Symfony, Rake, Selenium, Compass, SASS, jQuery, Bundler, Nginx and animated cat gifs.We are taking our most magnificent retail platform to the next level and we are hiring 20 - 30 people in the product team over the next 12 ­- 24 months. As part of this, we are looking to hire students in computer science and / or related disciplines (like engineering, science and design) for under-graduate roles.
