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.\nWe’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.\nParkHub 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.\nNow, as one unified company, we’re combining expertise to offer a full-service, frictionless parking solution for both businesses and consumers.\nAbout the Role\nWe 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.\nThis 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.\nThis 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.\nThe 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).\nRequirements\nKey Responsibilities\nEngineering Leadership & Team Management\nManage and lead the Oobeo engineering team: set priorities, run standups, conduct code reviews, remove blockers, and drive execution against product and business goals\nMentor and develop engineers on the team, establishing standards for code quality, testing, documentation, and deployment practices\nOwn hiring, onboarding, and performance management for the engineering team as it grows\nCollaborate directly with product, client success, and commercial teams to translate customer needs into technical plans and timelines\nCommunicate technical status, risks, and tradeoffs clearly to non-technical leadership\nAI Tooling & Team Adoption\nAct as the team's power user of Claude Code (and similar tools); model how AI-paired development is done well\nBuild out shared AI infrastructure: module-level CLAUDE.md documentation, skills, code review patterns that get the best out of AI\nBring the rest of the engineering team along on AI-paired development - set the norms, run pairing sessions, propagate what works\nUse AI tooling to accelerate the hardening, testing, and modernization work this role takes on\nPlatform Ownership\nServe 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)\nOwn system architecture decisions, technology stack direction, and development standards\nSupport implementation of the Django version upgrade and broader codebase modernizations \nMaintain and improve production stability, performance, and security across all platform components\nDevelopment & Technical Execution\nWrite and review code across the full stack: Python/Django backend, React/TypeScript admin and consumer web applications, and React Native mobile apps\nBuild and extend API endpoints using Django REST Framework (serializers, viewsets, OAuth2 token flows)\nManage PostgreSQL databases: complex schema navigation, query optimization, and migration management\nMaintain and extend payment integrations (Stripe Connect, Authorize.net, Square Mobile Payments SDK) with PCI DSS compliance awareness\nMaintain and extend real-time communication systems (Pusher/WebSockets, Twilio SMS and Voice IVR)\nInfrastructure & DevOps\nManage AWS infrastructure (Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Route 53) and Google Cloud Platform resources\nImplement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) to replace current manual infrastructure management\nOwn CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes across all platform components\nBuild and maintain monitoring, alerting, and incident response capabilities\nManage Docker containerization and deployment workflows\nIntegrations\nOwn third-party integrations\nManage Twilio phone number provisioning, webhook configuration, and SMS workflows across customer locations\nQuality & Testing\nEstablish and build out automated testing (pytest-django, factory_boy) on a codebase with minimal existing test coverage\nDefine and enforce development standards, code review practices, and technical documentation\nTech Stack\nMust-Have Technical Skills\nPython / Django: expert level.
