Where the journey began…

From humble beginnings when traveling back in 2014, our co-founders at Parkos embarked on our journey to ensure that the beginning and end of your travel experience are as enjoyable as the actual adventure between!

We make airport parking a smooth, seamless and efficient process for all travelers using our TravelTech price comparison & booking platform.

We started off by winning the major airports within the Netherlands and now operate in over 15 different countries and 3 different regions (and counting)! We’ve grown to over 100 Parkie’s and millions of travelers choose Parkos every year!

The team

Our Post-Booking team is responsible for transactional emails, ‘Manage My Booking’, customer reviews, fast-checkout and expectation management.

This is currently a team of 2 Software Engineers (of 20+ developers in total and counting) with a dedicated QA Engineer and Product Owner with scope to expand your team further.

We’ve experienced rapid growth in recent years and have introduced a microservices strategy based around Kubernetes to leave our monolith behind and to standardize our processes.

What you’ll do

• Manage, enable, and mentor a team of individual contributors

• Hire, develop & review team performance

• Hands-on contributions to accelerate our technical roadmap

• Deliver Engineering work that helps to improve our NPS

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience in leading Engineering teams

• Strong understanding of microservice architecture and REST APIs.

• Experience as a Senior Fullstack Engineer (ideally with Nuxt.js/Vue.js & Node.js/Typescript) working at scale and in a multi-region setup

• Good understanding of authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth, and SSO) or equivalents would be highly beneficial. This includes proper understanding of OWASP Top 10.

• Experience integrating email/communications marketing tools (such as MailChimp, Mandrill, SparkPost, SendInBlue) would be advantageous

• An owner mentality and challenger mindset would set you up for success with Parkos

What we offer

• Flexible working: We understand that people’s circumstances vary and allow you to decide where you work from. We can support on-site, hybrid, and fully-remote (so long as the timezones aren’t too far apart!)

• Ownership: Take ownership of your work and have the opportunity to drive lasting change within Parkos

• Growth: We provide the autonomy and personal development support for you to move quickly through the ranks at Parkos - the sky's the limit!

• Transparency: We talk about our plans, allow everyone a voice, work together towards common objectives, and share our successes together as a team

• Fast-pace: We love to experiment and try new things quickly. An error is only a mistake when you fail to correct it and we want to reach our destination as swiftly and smoothly as possible!
