Software Engineer, Backend Developer, Python

Are you the developer who loves building software that doesn't just run on a screen but powers real machinery in the real world? Our client, a fast-growing express car wash network with 100+ locations, is looking for a Software Engineer to design and ship the proprietary software and custom controllers behind its entire operation. This is an opportunity to take true ownership of a platform built to answer to no vendor, while partnering directly with leadership to shape the architecture and technology that fuels every new location.
