Retail management software platform for Brazilian SMBs and chains
CISS builds ERP and point-of-sale software for retail operators across Brazil, serving over 7,000 customers in supermarkets, construction supply, quick-service restaurants, and franchise networks. The tech stack reveals a Java + Spring backend with Kafka for event streaming, Kubernetes for orchestration, and Android for mobile POS—a mature architecture for high-volume transaction processing. Current hiring focuses on mid-level engineers and support roles, with pain points centered on technical ticket triage and software usability, suggesting the company is optimizing support workflows and UX rather than pursuing new platform features.
