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

Benefits & Team

• A Culture Built on Growth and Ownership: We hire self-starters who care deeply about their craft and give them the trust, tools, and autonomy to do their best work. Your ideas matter here, and they can shape the future of a company that’s scaling fast.

• Flexible Work Environment: Work from home, from our Boston HQ, or wherever you’re most productive. We support flexible schedules and hybrid setups that fit your life.

• Comprehensive Health Plan: We offer competitive medical, dental, and vision coverage to keep you and your family healthy.

• Unlimited PTO: We trust you to manage your time and take the breaks you need to recharge.

• Learning & Development: Your growth is part of our mission. Vend supports continued learning through conferences, certifications, and professional development resources.

• Team Building & Connection: From quarterly retreats to team outings and virtual hangouts, we make time to connect and celebrate our wins together.

• Parental Leave: We’re proud to support new parents with generous paid leave.

• 401(k) with Company Match: Plan for your future with our 401(k) program and matching contributions.

Team Values

• Here, you’ll find a culture that balances ambition with empathy, one that pushes for excellence while valuing flexibility, balance, and belonging:

  • Bold: Dream big, take smart risks, and learn from every step.

  • Empathetic: Be transparent, honest, and human — always.

  • Accountable: Deliver on your word and take ownership of outcomes.

  • Self-Starters: Act with initiative and bias toward action.

  • Team First: We win together, not alone.

Compensation

• Salary: $180-220k

• Equity: Significant ownership with high impact

• Benefits: Health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k) match; unlimited vacation.

• Team Offsites: Quarterly trips to destinations like Costa Rica, DC, Miami, Texas, Boston, and more.
