Description

We are a rapidly growing Swiss SaaS startup offering commerce and industry the first intelligent platform to source, onboard and distribute product data.

At Onedot, you will embed yourself into a demanding but exceptionally inspiring environment with lots of room for personal growth.

You will take ownership and drive the development of the Onedot platform, in particular the backend services and the core data processing engine. Scalable distributed systems are your thing.

A modern technology stack and a lean development process that does not get in your way helps you to focus on what your are good at: building great data-intensive applications with the potential to transform entire industries.

Onedot designs and engineers proprietary machine learning algorithms, probabilistic/statistical methods and advanced text understanding because existing approaches do not go far enough. Our technology achieves human-like performance and has already been trained with over 100 million different products.
