Software Developer

At SMRT Systems, we don’t just build software — we build the infrastructure powering dry cleaning and laundromat automation worldwide. One of our flagship products, Bubblepay, is already redefining how laundromats operate. At Bubblepay, we’re building the future of laundromats. Yes, laundromats. (Don’t laugh — there’s real money in making washing machines smarter than your toaster.)

We’ve already launched:

● The biggest and best Android kiosk — both in interface and functionality (yes, we’re flexing).

● A Payment App that talks to machines and the cloud directly — webhooks are its love language.

● World-class, award-winning mobile apps (seriously, we took home the continent’s best design awards).

● A PHP + MySQL backend that makes scaling easy and cost-effective (practical beats fancy every time).

● An IoT network that keeps it all together, all the time (machines don’t get to take days off).

We’re lean, scrappy, and shipping faster than most “big tech” shops debating their next offsite. If you’re looking for cushy corporate vibes, keep scrolling. If you want to grind, ship, and see thousands of machines move because of your code — welcome home.

The Role

We’re looking for a Software Developer to join our small but deadly dev team. We don’t care if you have a favorite language; we care if you have a favorite way to solve problems.

You’re the kind of person who views a tech stack as a means to an end. Whether it’s a React dashboard, a legacy PHP backend, or a brand-new service in a language you’ve never seen before, you jump in, figure it out, and ship it.

Oh — and we like messing around with LLMs. Whether it’s building AI tools to help laundromat owners, or just experimenting to see if GPT can recommend better detergent, we want someone who’s not afraid to explore.

Must-Have Skills

● React + React Native (bonus if you already know env setup & deployment tricks).

● PHP 8.1 + MySQL/MariaDB (our backend workhorse).

● Python for POC testing (Flask, Pandas, vibecoding welcome).

● At least one object-oriented language (C++, Java, .NET — pick your flavor).

● AWS/GCP services (IoT Core, Cognito, Lambda, RDS, CloudFront).

● Docker (multi-stage builds, containerized everything).

● Git (branch responsibly).

● Comfortable on Linux/MacOS.

Good-to-Have Skills

● Building native Android modules (for when RN just says “no”).

● Playing with LLMs + MCPs (bonus if you can ship real AI-powered features).

● Hardware tinkering: Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi (yes, laundromat robotics is a thing).

● CI/CD pipelines (so we don’t rely on “hope-driven deploys”).

What You’ll Do

● Ship across the stack: dashboards (React), kiosk app (React Native), backend APIs (PHP).

● Own features end-to-end — design, code, debug, and deploy.

● Debug IOT device logs, Stripe SDK quirks, and PHP Docker builds like a champ.

● Experiment with AI integrations where it makes sense.

● Work in a small, high-output team where your commits hit production fast.

Company Values (a.k.a. The Grind)

● Ship > Slide Decks: less PowerPoint, more push.

● No Drama, Just Data: laundromats don’t care about excuses, only uptime.

● Builders Wanted: frameworks change, curiosity doesn’t.

● Sarcasm Encouraged: memes accepted as valid PR comments.

● Serious About Results: fun stops when a laundromat can’t start a wash.

Why SMRT?

● Real-world impact: your code runs thousands of machines, daily.

● Startup velocity: no layers of management, just shipping.

● Ownership: if you build it, it’s yours.

● Freedom to tinker: from IoT packets to AI copilots.

● And yes, we pay well.

TL;DR: We’re after a full stack hacker who’s equally at home in React/React Native and PHP/MySQL, can wrangle MQTT + Docker, and isn’t afraid to play with AI/LLMs when needed.
