At Parkade, we're transforming how private parking works — creating a world where every spot can be reserved and shared at the push of a button. Hundreds of buildings already use Parkade to manage parking, and we’ve only scratched the surface of a $5B market.
We’re now scaling to bring Parkade to every apartment, condo, and office building in the U.S., and we’re looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer who thrives on ownership, product impact, and solving complex problems with elegant solutions.
We are ideally hiring for hybrid, in-office 2/3x per week at our San Francisco (Mission) HQ. We are open to remote for the right match.
You’ll join a small, senior team improving how buildings and cities use space — starting with parking. Your work will directly shape how our customers and internal teams experience Parkade’s products.
In this role, you will:
Build and maintain high-quality web applications using React and TypeScript, with a focus on performance, scalability, and clean architecture.
Lead front-end architectural decisions — including component design, shared libraries, and multi-project repo organization.
Collaborate with Product, Design, and Backend Engineering to build intuitive, accessible user experiences across internal and external products.
Take ownership of major projects like our Admin App, used internally by Parkade employees.
Improve tools used by property managers and public-facing features that impact real customers.
Shape front-end standards, tooling, and deployment practices (e.g., CI/CD, testing frameworks, code reviews).
5+ years of professional front-end experience — ideally in TypeScript + React web apps (not CMS or marketing sites).
A proven ability to design, build, and scale complex products — ideally B2C or multi-audience systems.
Experience working in startup or enterprise environments with high ownership and fast iteration.
Familiarity with shared component systems, design systems, and monorepo/multi-repo setups.
Comfort making architectural tradeoffs and implementing long-term solutions that balance speed and maintainability.
Strong communication skills — able to collaborate as a peer across Engineering, Product, and Design.
(Bonus) Experience with Python or backend services, and deploying to AWS or Google Cloud.
(Bonus) You’ve built something from the ground up — whether a startup, open-source project, or internal platform.
Your first focus will be modernizing and improving our internal Admin App, a mission-critical internal tool. You’ll quickly move into broader feature development across our property manager and public-facing web products.
You might be a great fit if you:
Have a technical co-founder or “startup builder” background.
Enjoy owning projects end-to-end and collaborating directly with peers.
Take pride in building consistent, high-quality user interfaces that scale.
Are motivated by impact — both in product quality and the tangible improvement of how cities use space.
