About Parkade

Parkade is a B2B2C SaaS platform that modernizes private parking for apartments, mixed-use, and offices. We help buildings move away from the headaches of stickers, hang tags, and spreadsheets to a fully automated, self-serve app for parking management, enforcement, and customer service.

• Make sound architectural and design decisions informed by your past achievements and mistakes.
• Produce prolifically with AI assistance and the mature judgment of a staff engineer.
• Enjoy a fast moving, dynamic startup environment.
• Be curious, continuously and proactively level up your skills.
• Rely on at least 5 years of hands-on front-end experience building commercial applications.

Our tech stack

• TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Vite, TanStack Router
• Tailwind CSS, Material UI
• TanStack Query, React Hook Form, Pineapple Express

Bonus Points

• You have built something significant from the ground up before.
• You are proficient with Python or a similar backend language.
• You have experience setting up and improving CI/CD infrastructure.
• You care about problems related to parking and efficient use of space and resources in cities.

Benefits
