Are you passionate about technology and developing new customer-facing products? Do you have  experience working with JavaScript/TypeScript in the front-end and back-end? Do you enjoy creating beautiful user experiences and developing scalable back-end services? SafeSize, a leading technology company revolutionizing the footwear industry, is seeking a talented and dedicated Full-Stack Software Engineer to join us and help us change how shoes are produced, sold and discarded.

What we do

No matter if you’re the biggest sports fanatic, have a ‘minor’ shoe addiction or you own just one pair of sneakers, you know that finding the “perfect” shoe can be challenging. We’re here to help people find that perfect fitting shoe every single time. We have created a way to make a 3D scan of your feet and match that profile with our own (and the world’s largest) database of 3D-scanned shoes. Our goal is to inspire people to do what they love in maximum comfort, whether it’s running a marathon, dancing all night or simply going for a stroll in the park.  As an employer, we strive to translate this philosophy into a happy and balanced lifestyle for all our team members, giving them the opportunity to grow and thrive while doing what they love.
