About EDITED

EDITED is the global leader in Retail Intelligence. We help retailers increase margins, generate more sales and drive better outcomes through AI-driven Automation and Market & Enterprise Intelligence.

At EDITED, we always dream big, with a commitment to deliver measurable value to our customers. We believe in exceeding expectations and challenging the status quo. We do so by delivering our powerful Retail Intelligence Platform that drives better and faster decision making for retailers.

The Role

At EDITED, you'll be part of our Product and Engineering team, working closely with other software developers and data scientists, retail specialists and designers to create data-driven solutions to our customers' problems.

As a Senior Back End Engineer, you'll be involved in building systems that support new client-facing features as well as hacking on internal tools or systems. Your day might range from building APIs, to optimising database queries, to working on infrastructure around machine learning models, to improving the reliability and quality of web crawling infrastructure. You’ll answer questions such as: How do we get customer-ready data? How do we categorise data from being unstructured to being structured? How do you process data coming in at about 1000 products per second?

We've got huge scope to innovate and we always welcome fresh perspectives.
