Parkopedia is proud to be part of the EasyPark Group and the world’s leading connected car services provider, used by millions of drivers and organisations such as Apple, Here, TomTom, and 20 automotive brands ranging from Audi to Volkswagen. Our mission at Parkopedia is to provide the best in-car data and transaction services, to make mobility ecological, efficient and convenient.

The In-Car Payments engineering team is responsible for Parkopedia's cutting-edge in-car commerce platform, enabling drivers to pay for fueling and parking from within their vehicle. We are looking for passionate and innovative engineers to join our cross-functional team as we take in-car payments to the next level.

You'll be adaptable, flexible and pragmatic with a DevOps mindset, able to apply good engineering processes to deliver software products of high quality and performance, even with occasionally ambiguous requirements.

Our ideal candidate will be a lifelong learner who enjoys solving technical problems, is curious about new technologies, and loves sharing their knowledge and experience with colleagues.

We offer a flexible and rewarding working environment within a collaborative, supportive and inclusive team, where your contribution is valued and you feel empowered to do your best work.

Responsibilities

You’ll work primarily with PHP (Laravel), MySQL and AWS, but also with Python and Javascript/React to deliver new features and improved reliability, maintainability, security and testability to our backend platform.

The role requires solid and demonstrable experience designing, documenting, building, deploying and maintaining RESTful APIs, which can operate at scale on AWS.

You will appreciate the benefits of TDD/BDD, ensuring all code is tested and reviewed to the highest standards, and adapt quickly to changing environments, concepts and emerging technologies to assist in the future roadmap of our products.

We operate a DevOps culture and are responsible for developing, deploying, operating and monitoring our team’s deliverables. It would help if you understood performance tuning and optimisation, and how to diagnose technical issues across local, pre-release and production environments running on AWS.
