What the job involves
- Metropolis is seeking a Senior Manager to lead software engineering for the Edge Platform: the mission critical backend platform that consumes and organizes event data from our field-deployed hardware and ML systems
- We are developing and deploying a broad suite of technologies that enable “AI for the Real World” including cameras, edge compute, sensors, displays, and robotics
- In this role, you will lead a team of software engineers to support existing systems and develop the next-generation of the Edge platform
- The Edge team integrates real-time hardware events and machine learning outputs into a core mobility identification platform, creating a rich data stream that powers Metropolis applications
- As a senior member of the Advanced Technologies organization, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of the platform that not only consumes all of the information from those edge systems, but creates the foundational structures on top of which Metropolis builds remarkable experiences for parking and new verticals
- You will work closely with other engineering leaders to ensure your team is balancing a mission critical system with delivering new capabilities that power Metropolis into a future well beyond parking!
- Lead the Edge team to design and build backend software solutions that enable an expanding edge device ecosystem
- Work closely with cross-functional leaders in Hardware, Machine Learning, and other engineering teams to ensure alignment on edge initiatives
- Organize the team to support existing edge systems, develop new capabilities, and create a strategy for the future
- Guide the team technically, engaging in hands-on troubleshooting, architecture definition and implementation of best practices
- Establish robust and right sized processes and mechanisms to ensure the team is freed up to work on building
- Develop resourcing plans and coordinate across teams to ensure development schedules are aligned and communicated, and drive engineering efforts to completion
- Invest in the career development of team members, develop future leaders, and create a culture of cohesion and teamwork
- Participate in talent acquisition processes to ensure that we have world class engineers across all skill and experience levels
Our take
Driven by computer vision and AI technology, Metropolis offers a seamless parking and checkout experience by turning cars into wallets. This eliminates the need for physical tickets and pay machines, allowing property owners to maximise the financial performance of their parking assets and offer a modern service to customers.
Metropolis aims to revolutionise parking by integrating future mobility solutions, such as autonomous vehicle deployment, charging stations, and eVTOL infrastructure. Its approach includes dynamic pricing to optimise revenue during demand surges.
Co-founded by Alex Israel, a former ParkMe founder, the company has expanded rapidly following a $167M Series B fundraise and partnerships with Premier Parking and Uber. The company's recent acquisition of SP Plus Corporation, funded by a $1.8 billion investment, positions it as a leader in AI-driven mobility solutions. As a pioneer in its category, Metropolis continues to push the boundaries of parking and mobility technology.
