AppyWay is the industry-leading SaaS solution decarbonising cities by empowering local authorities to digitally manage their kerbside and share kerbside data with fleets and drivers.
Our journey began with AppyParking, an app born from the frustration of finding and understanding parking on the streets of London. During the app’s creation, it was clear that cities lacked shareable, machine-readable, standardised parking restriction data. So we built the UK’s largest set of standardised kerbside data, in turn discovering the untapped potential beneath everyone’s feet.
Today, we’re Europe’s leading intelligent kerbside platform, helping cities and drivers optimise operations and transition to net zero by uniting parking/loading maps, occupancy data, and cashless payments.
Our impressive client roster includes local authorities such as Edinburgh, Southwark, Lambeth, Haringey, Harrogate, Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, Dorset, Dublin and, more recently across the pond, New York City. Additionally, our apps and API are trusted by tens of thousands of drivers and fleets including Blue Badge innovators Motability Operations.
We are proud to have the support of top investors, including Hyundai Motor Company, Aviva Ventures, Mastercard and Esri. To date, we have raised over £20 million in funding, allowing us to continue building something big from the ground up.
If you’re passionate about tangible solutions to help decarbonise the world, then AppyWay is the perfect place for you. Come and make your mark on a company you can call your own!
We’re looking for a Platform Product Owner to own our Kerbside Intelligence Platform, also known internally as “The Hub.”
The Hub is a foundational part of AppyWay’s product strategy. It will become the canonical platform for our parking and kerbside intelligence, bringing together data from multiple sources into a consistent, trusted and reusable model.
The Hub vision and strategic direction are set. You’ll own day-to-day product delivery — translating that strategy into a clear and prioritised backlog, partnering closely with Engineering and Data to execute it, and ensuring consuming products have the platform capabilities they need to move forward.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of product, technology and data, and who can turn complex platform problems into clear, incremental pieces of work that deliver value.
(This isn’t a shopping list — these are the technologies and patterns we use. We’d love to hear from people with some of these, or who are excited to pick them up and suggest alternatives.)
⚠️ A polite note to recruitment agencies: Our internal team handles 100% of our Talent Acquisition initiatives in-house. We appreciate your interest, but external recruiters and agencies should not get in touch regarding this vacancy. Thank you!
Ours is a journey that’s certainly been around the houses.
We started out as AppyParking. An app made to solve the frustration of finding a parking space.
By showing drivers what parking was available where, we did our bit to ease the four days a year we each spend, on average, hunting out spaces.
And this was when things got really, really interesting.
The search for data:
To build this app, we needed quality, standardised data. Except that didn’t exist. So, we rolled up our sleeves and made it ourselves. Digitising old plan drawings. Manually mapping out parking zones. Pestering councils for their records.
Before long, we were the proud curators of London’s largest digital parking database.
The big idea:
All this data got us thinking. What if we could digitise parking spaces? And not just spaces – but all of the UK’s kerbs? What opportunities would that unlock? How could a digitised, dynamic kerb not only meet the ever-growing demands of urban transport today – but shape that of tomorrow?
From that lightbulb moment onwards, we were hooked.
Unashamedly kerb obsessed:
The more we investigated, the more potential we uncovered. Today, we offer the most digitally advanced platform of accurate, standardised data, APIs and tools for smart kerbside management in the world. We help Local Authorities and businesses all over the country unlock the power of their kerbs, to the benefit of residents, drivers, high streets and councils.
