Full Job Description
We're looking for a mid-level full-stack engineer who is energized by working in a small, distributed team where autonomy, curiosity, and adaptability matter more than rigid processes (but we do work on our processes and ensuring it's not total chaos).

What You Will Be Doing
  • Design, build, and maintain full-stack features across our SaaS platform.
  • Develop and optimize APIs (client & server side), including working with messy or poorly documented partner integrations.
  • Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code (unit and integration testing).
  • Collaborate with teammates on architecture, design reviews, and code reviews.
  • Contribute to shared resources like onboarding guides, runbooks, and documentation.
  • Identify and resolve performance issues, especially around SQL queries and scaling workloads in AWS.
  • Experiment with AI tools and approaches - both to accelerate development and to inform our proprietary AI-enabled product.


Core Skills & Experience
  • Languages: Python (primary), JavaScript/TypeScript (secondary).
  • Databases: Postgres, Redis, and DynamoDB experience, including query optimization.
  • Testing: Familiarity with unit testing, integration testing, and modern testing tools.
  • Cloud: Hands-on experience with AWS (deployment, monitoring).
  • Building and consuming APIs; able to reverse engineer poorly documented systems.
  • Comfortable in a distributed, text-first communication environment (Slack, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Google Docs).
Bonus points for any of the following:
  • Vue experience in building user interfaces and front-end experiences
  • Experience in parking, mobility, or adjacent industries (hotel, airline, shipping, storage, etc.).
  • Background in pricing optimization, revenue management, or omni-channel distribution systems.
  • Familiarity with serverless architectures and event-driven systems.
  • Interest or hands-on experience with AI development (LLMs, agents, or workflow automation).
Who You Are

  • Clear & Direct Communicator
    • Communicates with clarity, precision, and honesty.
    • Assumes good intent and avoids unnecessary fluff.
  • Adaptable Generalist
    • Curious and eager to learn unfamiliar parts of the system.
    • Comfortable wearing multiple hats (full-stack)
    • Collaborative & Feedback-Friendly
  • Creative & Resourceful Hacker
    • Enjoys solving problems that seem impossible - like automating brittle systems or bridging mismatched APIs.
    • Sees constraints as opportunities for inventive solutions.
  • Pragmatic & Impact-Oriented
    • Focuses on delivering value, not chasing perfection.
    • Makes thoughtful tradeoffs between speed and quality.
  • Flexible & Proactive
    • Raises issues early and steps outside their lane when needed.
Non-Negotiables
  • We value humility, curiosity, and outcomes over ego or rigid process.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary w/ ancillary earning opportunities
  • Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, & vision
  • Flexible work-from-anywhere policy
  • Unlimited PTO that supports work-life balance
  • Stock option incentive plan
  • Company-sponsored 401k
  • Structured growth opportunities
  • Training and ongoing professional development
