Senior Rfid Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts (NOW HIRING)

Senior Software Engineer

Our client is an automated parking management and payments solution that is transforming the way real estate owners, tenants, and visitors interact with parking through technology-driven parking management. Today, the majority of paid parking facilities in the US rely on an outdated operations model powered by antiquated technology, human-centric labor, and insufficient data making them significantly more costly to operate per square foot than other assets. Vend replaces onsite administration and legacy technology with a fully digital solution that elevates the parking experience, reduces manual operations and costs by 30-50%, and increases net operating income.
