Our Job of the Week column today highlights an opportunity to work for a fast-growing Fredericton startup, HotSpot Merchant Solutions, which is looking for a technical lead.
HotSpot developed a mobile application that allows drivers to pay for parking with their mobile phone. Addressing this problem provides users with a pain-free parking experience. It also helps merchants advertise directly to shoppers, and view the data that can help them grow their businesses.
HotSpot is deploying a huge network of beacons in major cities across the continent. These beacons send signals to customers’ cell phones so retail outlets can sense when customers are nearby and communicate with them.
