About

divh2Embedded Software Engineer/h2pAirGarage is on a mission to bring real estate online, starting with parking. We replace broken parking machines, fragmented software, and manual, labor-intensive operations with a unified, data-rich operating system for parking real estate. We handle everything it takes to run and optimize a parking asset: payments, dynamic pricing, enforcement, license plate recognition, analytics, and more./ppBy building all of our technology in-house, we are able to deliver a magical experience for drivers while providing real-time visibility and revenue increases of 20-50% or more for real estate owners. Thats why national real?estate leaders like Hines and Greystar, as well as technology companies like Meta, partner with AirGarage to optimize their parking facilities./ppAirGarage uses datapoints like real-time occupancy, local events, weather, driver behavior, competitor pricing, and more to bring true intelligence to real estate owners assets for the first time./ppWe are investing aggressively to make the physical world legible to a digital system: cameras, sensors, and software that generate a firehose of real-time data about the world around us. That data fuels models and algorithms that allow us to optimize performance at each property while giving owners the clarity and control theyve never had before./ppBefore you can optimize an asset, you need to observe it. Before you can observe it, you need to bring it online./ppWe are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types. 26% of the land area in the median American urban core is dedicated to parking./ppWe are backed by top tier investors including Headline Growth, Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more./ph3The Role/h3pWe are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to build and maintain the edge applications that power our next-generation LPR (license plate recognition) devices. You will shape how these systems operate in the field, from the Linux layer to the applications that capture, process, and transmit video and metadata at scale./ppYou will own the delivery of reliable, production-grade software that runs on thousands of devices. Your work will keep our hardware online and performant, integrate seamlessly with our backend, and influence system design choices that define how our products evolve. You will strengthen our embedded software stack and drive improvements that make deployments faster, updates smoother, and performance more robust./ppThis role offers the opportunity to make a visible impact on real-world systems.
