DevOps Engineer

Description

Wiliot was founded by the team that invented one of the technologies at the heart of 5G. Their next vision was to develop an IoT sticker, a self-powered computing element that harvests radio frequency energy, bringing connectivity and intelligence to everyday products and packaging. This revolutionary combination of cloud and semiconductor technology is already being used by some of the world’s largest consumer, retail, food, and pharmaceutical companies to transform how products are made, distributed, sold, used, and recycled.

Our investors include SoftBank, Amazon, Alibaba, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, and PepsiCo.
