**☁️ Job purpose**

The Swiss product company is looking for DevOps/Cloud Engineer to help them build and maintain modern infrastructure for development and rolling out a new point of sales system in Europe's energy market (software that manages automobile gas stations and convenience shops).

**💡Product description**

Point of sales system ─ hardware and software that is used by customers in outdoor self-service fuel points and by cashiers in stores to calculate, indicate, and make customer payments. 
Key advantages of a new POS system that is being in development:
It’s a cloud-based solution written from scratch using the latest technologies. Energy retail is a specific market, it’s hard to build something new and as a result products are too old.
No need to support legacy systems. All competitive products need to support legacy systems and can’t offer the same functionality, flexibility and scalability.

The system is currently live in production and used on real gas stations since January 2020
