About Jumpmind

Jumpmind is a retail software company specializing in enterprise point-of-sale solutions. We help major retailers modernize their in-store and omnichannel experiences through cutting-edge technology and innovation.

The Team

Join our Innovation Team! We focus on building high-quality sales demonstrations, running proof-of-concept projects with emerging technologies (AI, edge computing, real-time data platforms), and experimenting with new ways to push retail technology forward.

What You’ll Do

As a Software Engineer on the Innovation Team, you’ll apply your creativity and technical skills to projects that blend engineering, innovation, and sales. You will:

• Design and build demo environments that showcase Jumpmind’s software in action.

• Prototype new capabilities using modern technologies (AI, machine learning, edge systems, etc.).

• Contribute to proof-of-concept efforts with prospective clients.

• Develop internal tools and automations that improve team agility and creativity.

• Collaborate with a supportive, curious team that values resourcefulness and practical problem-solving.

What We’re Looking For

• Entry-to-mid-level software engineer with a strong desire to learn, adapt, and deliver.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.

• Proficiency in at least one modern, general-purpose programming language such as Java or C#.

• Experience with the following is a plus: JavaScript/TypeScript, Angular/React/Svelte/Vue, and Spring Boot. Kubernetes and DevOps experience are also beneficial.

• Curiosity about emerging technologies and how they integrate into enterprise-scale systems.

• Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset.

• A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, exploratory environment.

Why Work at Jumpmind?

At Jumpmind, you’ll be more than just a coder. You’ll have direct influence on client-facing projects, gain exposure to emerging technologies, and help shape the way enterprise retailers think about innovation. You’ll be part of a company that values curiosity, creativity, and initiative — and treats every engineer as a key contributor.
