Senior/Staff Backend Engineer

COMPANY DESCRIPTION: Veeve is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) startup based out of Seattle, WA. Our proprietary technology combines the tactile gratification of in-store shopping with a content-rich online experience through its innovative smart cart technology. The Veeve cart allows shoppers to eliminate the traditional checkout process. The shopper just places items in the cart while the bill automatically tallies as they go and when they’re done shopping they just pay at the cart and walk out. Veeve uses machine learning, sensor technology, machine vision and artificial intelligence to enable product recognition. Check it out at https://veeve.io/
