Our philosophy is to build distinctive products and services that enhance existing resources without generating new ones, all nurtured by an enduring empathy for drivers and partners. Joining ParkBee means you'll be part of a team that's driving change and making a difference in the world.\nRole Overview\nWe're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join UrbanEase, our B2B side. This is a senior individual contributor role: you'll be the technical expert and architect for UrbanEase, while still spending a real part of your week in the code.\nYou'll own the technical direction of our platform: how it's structured, how it scales, how it fails and how it evolves. You'll turn the needs of the business, from product and commercial to operations, into a technical strategy, guide engineers through the hardest design decisions, and make sure what we build today is something we're still glad to maintain long after it ships. You lead through expertise, clear reasoning and good reviews, not through a reporting line.\nYou'll thrive here if you have 10+ years of building software and you're the person others come to when a problem is complex, ambiguous or cuts across systems. You enjoy untangling distributed systems, you build with AI rather than just use it, and you weigh user and business impact as seriously as technical elegance. We're a small, lean team, so your work will be visible and your decisions will matter.\nWhat You’ll Be Doing\nOwn the architecture standards and technical direction for UrbanEase, so our systems stay resilient, observable, scalable, secure and maintainable.\n\nGet involved early in initiatives, so technical risks, dependencies and the tech debt worth addressing shape the plan rather than surface halfway through.\n\nStay hands-on: drive the most complex, foundational or high-risk work yourself, including the software that connects our platform to the hardware in our garages, and dig into production issues when they're hard.\n\nReview significant architectural changes and mentor engineers across our squads through reviews, tech meetups and pairing on hard problems.\n\nDrive AI-enhanced and AI-native development, both in the product and in how we work.\n\nCollaborate with our B2C side, data team, platform team, commercial, operations and customer support to ship the best possible solution, not just the first one that works.\n\nWhat You Bring\n 10+ years of professional software development experience, including extensive hands-on experience with C# and .NET\nTechnical breadth beyond a single stack: you're comfortable working across languages and technologies, and you choose the right tool for the problem rather than defaulting to the one you know best\n\nA genuine tech enthusiast with a strong interest in hardware and IoT: our platform connects to physical devices in real garages, and you're the kind of engineer who finds that exciting rather than a complication\n\nExperience acting as an architect or technical authority across multiple teams while remaining hands-on\n\nDeep experience designing and evolving distributed systems, including event-driven architectures with message queues like RabbitMQ, and a solid grasp of failure modes, consistency and scaling trade-offs\n\nExperience applying Domain-Driven Design in complex domains, and guiding teams in doing so\n\nExperience evolving systems that are already live: large refactors, migrations, breaking things apart safely\n\nStrong experience with a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP, or similar), CI/CD and infrastructure as code\n\nExperience with monitoring and observability tooling (we use Datadog, but any equivalent works)\n\nStrong experience with SQL or NoSQL databases\n\nA security and privacy-by-design mindset\n\nA testing mindset beyond unit tests, such as integration and performance testing\n\nA track record of setting technical standards that teams actually adopt, through written designs and reviews\n\nYou lead through influence rather than authority, and you mentor through every technical touchpoint: code and design reviews, tech meetups you drive, and the day-to-day conversations where engineers work through hard problems\n\nActive, daily use of AI in your own development work - bonus points if you've built AI-native tooling\n\nA product engineering mindset: you weigh user and business impact, not just code\n\nSound judgement in ambiguous situations, and the ability to explain trade-offs clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders\n\nA natural fit with our culture - bold, results-driven, and up for it even when things get messy\n\nA category B driving licence is a bonus\n\nWhat You'll Receive\nWe believe a career as a Principal Software Engineer at our company offers exponential growth and learning through an environment that promotes high ownership, accountability, and impact at every level. In addition, we offer a competitive reward package, including:\nAttractive salary dependent on experience\n\nAn annual allowance of €1,500 for learning and growth in your role\n\nAn initial contract of 12 months to be extended by mutual agreement\n\nNumerous growth and development initiatives, training and projects\n\nAccess to professional mental health support with OpenUp, ensuring you're supported both at work and in life\n\n25 days holiday plus additional leave schemes\n\nDaily fresh lunch in the office (we're primarily an in-person company with home working flexibility)\n\nEasy commute with an NS business card, mileage reimbursement, and access to shared cars when needed\n\nA generous employer pension scheme and additional long term performance based incentives linked to the success of ParkBee and your contribution.\n\nIf you are ready to make a significant impact in the role of Principal Software Engineer, we'd love to hear from you!\nApplication process\nWe believe in a transparent and thorough interview process to ensure the best fit for you and our team. Here’s what you can expect:\nInitial call with the hiring manager\n\nTake home coding assignment\n\nTechnical interview\n\nSystem design interview\n\nCultural fit interview \n\nReserve your spot, drive in later\nSounds good?\nWe can't wait to hear from you! We don’t require a long motivation letter; we’d rather have a few pointers, your LinkedIn, and your resume.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6427,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Real Estate Rental","Warehousing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T11:54:19Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"NL","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Recognised sponsor of the Dutch immigration service (IND)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Highly skilled migrants and regular labour","cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-19T06:52:34+00:00","sources":["IND: public register of recognised sponsors (work)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/parkbee-principal-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/parkbee-principal-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T05:43:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8267,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":174256},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=174256"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fparkbee-principal-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fparkbee-principal-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fparkbee-principal-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/parkbee-principal-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fparkbee-principal-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3452546}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"parkbee.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3452546},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
