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!
