Lead Software Engineer

About JustPark JustPark is the premier partner offering both B2B solutions for destinations and B2C services for drivers, giving us the best of both worlds. We simplify the entire parking experience. From venues and councils to private driveways, our platform makes it simple for drivers to find, book, and pay for parking—while empowering our operating partners to deliver exceptional parking experiences. We’ve always believed parking should be easier—from end to end. That’s why we, two trailblazing companies—ParkHub and JustPark—have come together to make that vision a reality. ParkHub revolutionized event parking in the US, optimizing venue operations for a smoother, stress-free experience. JustPark transformed parking in the UK, turning the hunt for a spot into a simple, seamless task. Now, as one unified company, we’re combining expertise to offer a full-service, frictionless parking solution for both businesses and consumers. About the Role We are hiring a Lead Engineer to own the Oobeo and EnforcePlus platforms and lead the engineering team that builds and maintains it. Oobeo powers our digital permits, valet management, on-demand parking payments, and enforcement products, serving parking operators, municipalities, universities, and hospitals across the US. This is a player-coach role. You will be the most senior engineer on the Oobeo and EnforcePlus codebase and the engineering manager for the team. You will set technical direction, make architectural decisions, write and review code, and manage the engineers who work on the platform day to day. This role is also explicitly about AI-paired development. You are expected to be a strong, daily user of Claude Code and similar tools, to build out the shared infrastructure that makes AI work for the whole team (module-level CLAUDE.md documentation, skills, review patterns), and to bring the other engineers along on that journey. If you don't actively want to be a power user of these tools and propagate them across the team, this isn't the right role. The platform is a production Django application with a React frontend, React Native mobile apps, and integrations with payment processors, hotel property management systems, SMS providers, and license plate recognition systems. The infrastructure runs on AWS (Elastic Beanstalk) and Google Cloud (serverless).
