Full-stack Engineer

About Ocra Ocra is an AI-powered Revenue Management System (RMS) and Global Distribution System (GDS) built for parking assets. Parking owners and operators use Ocra to sell underutilized parking inventory through "parking OTAs" to prepaid reservation customers looking to park near airports, event venues and high-demand transient locations. Ocra's team of parking revenue management experts drives revenue growth without adding labor or disrupting operations, helping assets increase net operating income (NOI).
