POS Software Engineer

About the Role

Kitestring is looking for a POS Software Engineer to join a national retailer's store systems team in a role the team calls the "Librarian." You'll own how remote installs are built and deployed to store controllers across the chain. That includes full ASM packages, configuration changes, and utilities that stay on the controllers to run as needed. You'll also manage the team's ACE configurations. It's a hands-on role in a large 4690 environment where store rollouts depend on your work being right.

What You'll Do

• Build and package full ASM installs for deployment to store controllers
• Script the install process, including the timed batch jobs that apply ASM packages and reboot controllers
• Dial back in to controllers after installs to confirm each package applied successfully, and troubleshoot any failures
• Build, maintain, and version controller-resident utilities that support store operations
• Package and deploy configuration changes across the store fleet
• Manage and maintain ACE configurations, keeping them consistent across environments
• Work with store systems, support, and QA teams to schedule installs and resolve issues
• Document install procedures, package contents, and deployment history

Required Experience

• Hands-on experience with IBM/Toshiba 4690 OS (TCx) in a retail environment
• Working knowledge of Toshiba ACE and ACE configuration management
• Experience with CHEC and/or Toshiba Elevate
• Experience building ASM packages and deploying software remotely to store controllers
• Scripting on the 4690 platform (batch/command files, REXX, or similar)
• Strong troubleshooting skills on controller-level and lane-level issues

Nice to Have

• Experience in grocery, warehouse club, or big-box retail POS
• Background with Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions or IBM Retail Store Solutions
• Familiarity with enterprise software distribution and change-management processes

What the Client Provides

• Training on their internal install processes, standards, and expectations
• Flexibility to work remote or onsite
• A central role on a high-visibility, high-priority team
