Senior Software Engineer, Product Foundations

Overview

Metropolis is an artificial intelligence company that uses computer vision technology to enable frictionless, checkout-free experiences. We are reimagining parking and envision a future where people transact with speed, ease and convenience. We are building foundational infrastructure to power multiple mobility-based businesses and AI-enabled platforms.

Who you are

You will be part of the Product Foundations team, architecting and building Metropolis Web Services (MTWS) – the composable, foundational services that serve as the substrate for all current and future products across the company. You will tackle complex distributed systems challenges at scale, solving technical problems that enable Metropolis to expand into new markets and support new verticals from the ground up.

You will work on foundational services like identity management and message processing, and help create developer tooling that enables hundreds of engineers to move fast while maintaining reliability. You will collaborate with multiple technical teams including Application Development, Infrastructure, and the Advanced Technologies group.

If you are energized by building the technical backbone that enables entire businesses to scale, solving hard distributed systems problems, and architecting platforms that power the future of AI, this role is for you.

What you’ll do

  • MTWS Foundation : Design and build core services of Metropolis Web Services that power multiple mobility businesses, including IAM, notifications, message processing, and other infrastructure components
  • Service Mesh Architecture : Build and maintain service mesh infrastructure for secure, reliable, and observable communication between hundreds of microservices
  • Developer Experience & Platform : Create tooling, CI / CD pipelines, and platform automation to enable product teams to ship code safely and efficiently with high operational standards
  • System Architecture : Decide service boundaries, API design, data consistency patterns, and system reliability across the platform
  • Performance & Scalability : Architect and optimize systems for high throughput and low latency across a global platform
  • Operational Excellence : Establish monitoring, alerting, and reliability practices for 99.99% uptime of mission-critical mobility infrastructure
  • Technical Leadership : Drive architectural discussions, establish engineering best practices, and mentor engineers while contributing to complex technical implementations

What we’re looking for

  • 8+ years of backend software engineering with a focus on distributed systems and platform infrastructure
  • Expert-level Java proficiency with JVM performance, concurrency, and ecosystem tooling; Scala is a plus
  • Production experience with microservices, Kubernetes, and AWS
  • Strong systems thinking for large-scale, high-availability distributed systems
  • Observability expertise with metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting in high-load environments
  • Database and data systems knowledge including relational databases, event streaming (e.g., Kafka, SQS), caching strategies, and data consistency patterns
  • Experience with AI-powered development tools for enhanced productivity
  • Excellent technical communication and ability to design and document complex systems; cross-team collaboration
  • Local to New York City, Seattle, or Los Angeles area
  • Nice to have

  • Advanced degree in CS, Engineering, or related field
  • Security and compliance expertise in authentication, authorization, secrets management, and regulatory compliance for financial transactions
  • Experience scaling systems in high-growth environments
  • Open source contributions or technical blog writing on distributed systems
  • Performance optimization at hyperscale
  • Our Stack

  • Languages & Frameworks : TypeScript, React, Scala (principally), Java (limited)
  • Cloud : AWS
  • Version control : Git & GitHub
  • AI Tooling : Copilot on GitHub
  • Metropolis is an equal opportunity employer. We value an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins.
