About JustPark

JustPark is the premier partner offering both B2B solutions for destinations and B2C services for drivers, giving us the best of both worlds. We simplify the entire parking experience. From venues and councils to private driveways, our platform makes it simple for drivers to find, book, and pay for parking—while empowering our operating partners to deliver exceptional parking experiences.

We’ve always believed parking should be easier—from end to end. That’s why we, two trailblazing companies—ParkHub and JustPark—have come together to make that vision a reality.

ParkHub revolutionized event parking in the US, optimizing venue operations for a smoother, stress-free experience. JustPark transformed parking in the UK, turning the hunt for a spot into a simple, seamless task.

Now, as one unified company, we’re combining expertise to offer a full-service, frictionless parking solution for both businesses and consumers.

About the Role

We are hiring a Lead Software Engineer to own the Oobeo and EnforcePlus platforms and lead the engineering team that builds and maintains it. Oobeo powers our digital permits, valet management, on-demand parking payments, and enforcement products, serving parking operators, municipalities, universities, and hospitals across the US.

This is a player-coach role. You will be the most senior engineer on the Oobeo and EnforcePlus codebase and the engineering manager for the team. You will set technical direction, make architectural decisions, write and review code, and manage the engineers who work on the platform day to day.

This role is also explicitly about AI-paired development. You are expected to be a strong, daily user of Claude Code and similar tools, to build out the shared infrastructure that makes AI work for the whole team (module-level CLAUDE.md documentation, skills, review patterns), and to bring the other engineers along on that journey. If you don't actively want to be a power user of these tools and propagate them across the team, this isn't the right role.

The platform is a production Django application with a React frontend, React Native mobile apps, and integrations with payment processors, hotel property management systems, SMS providers, and license plate recognition systems. The infrastructure runs on AWS (Elastic Beanstalk) and Google Cloud (serverless).

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Engineering Leadership & Team Management

  • Manage and lead the Oobeo engineering team: set priorities, run standups, conduct code reviews, remove blockers, and drive execution against product and business goals
  • Mentor and develop engineers on the team, establishing standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and deployment practices
  • Own hiring, onboarding, and performance management for the engineering team as it grows
  • Collaborate directly with product, client success, and commercial teams to translate customer needs into technical plans and timelines
  • Communicate technical status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to non-technical leadership

AI Tooling & Team Adoption

  • Act as the team's power user of Claude Code (and similar tools); model how AI-paired development is done well
  • Build out shared AI infrastructure: module-level CLAUDE.md documentation, skills, code review patterns that get the best out of AI
  • Bring the rest of the engineering team along on AI-paired development — set the norms, run pairing sessions, propagate what works
  • Use AI tooling to accelerate the hardening, testing, and modernization work this role takes on

Platform Ownership

  • Serve as the technical lead for the entire Oobeo platform: the Django monolith (AWS), React frontend, React Native mobile apps (iOS and Android), and GCP serverless applications (EnforcePlus, ShuttleSync)
  • Own system architecture decisions, technology stack direction, and development standards
  • Support implementation of the Django version upgrade and broader codebase modernizations
  • Maintain and improve production stability, performance, and security across all platform components

Development & Technical Execution

  • Write and review code across the full stack: Python/Django backend, React/TypeScript admin and consumer web applications, and React Native mobile apps
  • Build and extend API endpoints using Django REST Framework (serializers, viewsets, OAuth2 token flows)
  • Manage PostgreSQL databases: complex schema navigation, query optimization, and migration management
  • Maintain and extend payment integrations (Stripe Connect, Authorize.net, Square Mobile Payments SDK) with PCI DSS compliance awareness
  • Maintain and extend real-time communication systems (Pusher/WebSockets, Twilio SMS and Voice IVR)

Infrastructure & DevOps

  • Manage AWS infrastructure (Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53) and Google Cloud Platform resources
  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to replace current manual infrastructure management
  • Own CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes across all platform components
  • Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities
  • Manage Docker containerization and deployment workflows

Integrations

  • Own third-party integrations
  • Manage Twilio phone number provisioning, webhook configuration, and SMS workflows across customer locations

Quality & Testing

  • Establish and build out automated testing (pytest-django, factory_boy) on a codebase with minimal existing test coverage
  • Define and enforce development standards, code review practices, and technical documentation

Tech Stack

  • Redis: caching and task queue patterns (Celery)
  • AWS Elastic Beanstalk: or equivalent AWS deployment experience. Must be able to manage infrastructure configs without existing IaC scaffolding
  • Google Cloud Platform: serverless application management
  • CI/CD: CloudBees, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent. Has owned a pipeline end to end
  • Payment gateway integration: Stripe (Connect, PaymentIntent, webhooks) required. Authorize.net a strong plus

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
