Scotch is an all-in-one operating platform that provides point-of-sale, inventory management, invoice reconciliation and pricing intelligence for liquor retailers.
<p><strong>About Us</strong></p> <p>Scotch is building the next-generation operating system for beverage alcohol retailers — combining POS, payments, back office, and e-commerce into a platform purpose-built for liquor stores.</p> <p>We’re modernizing one of the oldest industries in the world: the $1.6T beverage alcohol market. Our platform helps retailers run more efficiently through streamlined payments, inventory management, reporting, and day-to-day operations.</p> <p>Our founders came from Skupos (acquired 2023) and Drizly (acquired by Uber). We've raised $28M from VMG Partners, First Round, Lerer Hippeau, Watchfire, and Toba Capital, with angels including the founder of Drizly and early Toast executives. Forbes has recognized Scotch as a leader in liquor retail tech. We closed a $20M Series A in 2026 off 500%+ YoY growth and $1B+ in processed payment volume.</p> <p><strong>Position Overview</strong></p> <p>We're looking for a Senior Android Engineer to build and contribute to our Kotlin-based terminal point-of-sale application.
