Senior Software Engineer (Scala) | AI & Mobility | Scale a global platform impacting millions

The Opportunity

Numi has partnered with a pioneering AI scale‑up that is building the 'Recognition Economy'—a future where real‑world friction vanishes and computer vision powers seamless consumer experiences. They are bridging the digital and physical worlds, starting by transforming how millions of people park, travel, and pay.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will join their core application development team to drive the next phase of global growth. This isn't about maintaining legacy code; you will be designing and building high‑throughput distributed systems from the ground up to support massive international expansion.

This role exists because the platform is scaling rapidly across global airports and retail hubs. You will have a direct hand in shaping product direction, mentoring peers, and utilizing cutting‑edge AI‑assisted workflows to solve complex architectural challenges.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will be a key driver of the backend evolution, taking ownership of the services that power a high‑volume pre‑book parking and e‑commerce engine. Working closely with cross‑functional teams, you will turn complex integration challenges into elegant, highly available solutions.

  • Design, scale, and maintain high‑throughput backend services using Scala and Java.
  • Own the entire software development lifecycle, from initial architectural design to deployment.
  • Lead technical discussions and evaluate new engineering paradigms to evolve the platform architecture.
  • Champion robust testing, TDD/BDD practices, and automated pipelines for seamless deployments.
  • Collaborate with global enterprise partners to build secure, robust API integrations.
  • Ensure distributed microservices remain highly available, resilient, and secure under peak global traffic.
What They’re Looking For

We are looking for a product‑minded engineer who thrives in high‑growth environments and values clean, resilient architecture. You love solving complex scaling challenges and believe that technical excellence is a collaborative team sport.

  • Advanced software engineering expertise with a strong focus on Scala, Java, or related JVM languages.
  • Proven track record of designing and delivering high‑volume, distributed systems and microservices.
  • Robust understanding of event‑driven architectures and modern database design (MySQL, PostgreSQL).
  • Solid grasp of modern Agile workflows, continuous integration, and automated test pipelines.
  • Clear communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to cross‑functional partners.
Nice to Have
  • Familiarity with frontend technologies like Type Script and React.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling.
  • Prior experience working on large‑scale e‑commerce platforms or complex third‑party API integrations.
  • Curiosity about emerging AI tools (like Claude Code or Git Hub Copilot) to accelerate development workflows.
Why Join?

You will join an engineering culture that genuinely values autonomy, modern tooling, and continuous growth. The team treats production bugs as constructive learning opportunities rather than faults, fostering a high‑trust environment where you can do your best work.

  • Cutting‑Edge Stack
    :
    Work with modern languages and advanced AI tools like Claude Code and Git Hub Copilot to streamline your workflow.
  • Global Scale
    :
    Build systems that directly impact the journeys of millions of travelers across global transit hubs.
  • Professional Growth
    :
    Lead high‑impact architectural decisions and mentor a talented, supportive engineering team.
  • Impact‑Driven Culture
    :
    Solve real‑world physical friction with elegant software in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
