We’ve signed up to an ambitious journey. Join us!

As Arrive, we guide customers and communities towards brighter futures and more livable cities, it isn’t a challenge just anyone could take on. Luckily, we have something to help us make it happen. Our people and our values. We Arrive Curious, Focused and Together. Just as our entire brand is inspired by the North Star, the shining light leading travelers to their destinations since time began, our values guide us. They help us be at our best. For our customers. For the cities and communities we serve. For ourselves. As a global team, we are transforming urban mobility. Let’s grow better, together.

One of the teams leading this transformation is Parkopedia, the world’s leading connected car services provider and part of the Arrive family. Parkopedia powers in-car experiences for millions of drivers and partners with leading brands such as Apple, Here, TomTom, and major automotive manufacturers including Audi and Volkswagen. Its mission: to make mobility ecological, efficient, and convenient through data and transaction services.

The In-Car Payments Engineering team at Parkopedia is responsible for delivering cutting-edge, in-car commerce solutions that allow drivers to pay for fueling, EV charging, and parking directly from their vehicles. We’re looking for a passionate and pragmatic senior software engineer to join our cross-functional team.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to work on cloud-based transaction systems, including payment card processing infrastructure, in a team that values collaboration, security, and reliability. You’ll work closely with third-party service providers, ensure compliance with PCI DSS, and help build secure abstractions over APIs that interface with our clients.

• Maintain and expand our serverless card payment infrastructure built with TypeScript, Node.js, and AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB).

• Ensure continued PCI DSS compliance. Work with others to fix bugs, implement minimal new features, trace errors, and ensure security patches are applied in production and pre-production environments.

• Support a clean and well-documented strategy for all dependent services and infrastructure.

• Collaborate in daily scrum ceremonies, working closely with engineering, security, and third-party vendors.

• Apply TDD/BDD methodologies, maintaining high code quality and resilience.

• Strong hands-on experience with TypeScript and Node.js. Frontend familiarity is helpful (e.g. React).

• Proficiency with AWS services in a serverless context, especially CloudFront, API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB and CloudWatch.

• Commercial experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, SST, CDK or CloudFormation.

• Strong understanding of API development, RESTful design, and secure authentication.

• Demonstrated knowledge of API security and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.

• Experience with Docker, Linux, Git, and container-based environments.

• Working familiarity with PCI DSS, payment systems, or other regulated environments is highly desirable.

• Excellent communicator with a self-starter attitude and comfort working autonomously.

• Demonstrable expertise and understanding of API development/design and experience interfacing with disparate systems.

• Applicable understanding of software security, common exploits and secure development practices, including the OWASP Top 10.

• Proven and demonstrable understanding of testing methodologies and frameworks.

• Commercial experience with AWS and IaC (Terraform/CDK/CloudFormation)

• Commercial experience with Linux, Docker, Docker Compose, Git and DynamoDB.
