Engineering Manager

The Role

As an Engineering Manager at Your Parking Space (YPS), you will be a strategic leader responsible for the growth, health, and output of our engineering organization. This is a manager of managers role; you will oversee multiple squads, mentoring Lead Engineers and ensuring that our technical roadmap aligns with high-level business objectives.

You will be joining at a critical juncture as we modernize our core platform into a scalable, service-oriented architecture while maintaining the stability of our revenue-generating systems. You are expected to balance people leadership with high-level technical oversight of our PHP/Laravel and AWS ecosystem. This is an opportunity to take ownership of a significant technical transformation. You won't just be managing "maintenance"; you will be the driving force behind the next evolution of our commercial parking platform.
