About Vend
Vend Park is building the AI-powered digital infrastructure of the built world. Our team is rewriting how commercial real estate owners manage and monetize parking, using automation, data, and agentic AI to simplify operations and unlock new revenue. This transforms a historically analog system into a modern, software-driven platform.
In under two years, we’ve scaled to 23 cities and partnered with leading owners like Nuveen, Jamestown, and Federal Realty. We operate as a small, high-ownership engineering team where decisions move fast and code ships to production quickly and reliably.
The Role
We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer who is a strong TypeScript generalist and excited to work across the stack. This role is about building real systems end-to-end: customer-facing product, internal tools, AI workflows, and integrations with physical infrastructure.
You’ll play a key role in designing and implementing aspects of our v5 platform, working closely with product, design, and leadership. This is a high-impact role with direct ownership over architecture and execution, not a narrow feature factory. At Vend, you’ll be:
Designing and building end-to-end TypeScript systems across frontend, backend, and infrastructure
Implementing APIs, workflows, and background jobs that power automation and AI agents
Building modern, performant React-based web applications
Developing AI-native features for both internal operators and external customers
Working with real-time, event-driven systems tied to real-world assets
Contributing to architectural decisions, technical standards, and code quality
Shipping quickly, owning outcomes, and mentoring other engineers as we scale
Expertise Required
Deep experience with TypeScript and strongly-typed system design
Proven ability to build full-stack applications end-to-end
Comfort with modern backend patterns (serverless, event-driven, real-time systems)
Strong product instincts and a bias toward practical, maintainable solutions
Excitement about AI-assisted development and building AI into production products
Ability to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment with real ownership
Experience with AI workflows, LLM tooling, or agent-based systems
Nice to have (not required):
Exposure to IoT, hardware-adjacent systems, or physical-world integrations
Experience with auth, permissions, or multi-tenant SaaS platforms
Prior work on payments, billing, or financial systems
Tech Stack
We care more about strong fundamentals than prior experience with any specific tool, but our current stack includes:
TypeScript everywhere
Frontend: React, Vite
Backend & Data: Convex, Hono, event-driven workflows
AI & Automation: Vercel AI SDK, Trigger.dev, agent-based systems
Auth: WorkOS, Clerk
Infrastructure: Vercel (serverless & edge)
Tooling: Cursor, Claude Code, modern observability
Systems: Integrations with hardware and IoT devices in production
