Rekor is a public company (NASDAQ: REKR) building infrastructure to collect and organize vehicle and roadway data at scale. The tech stack—Kafka, Kinesis, Spark, MongoDB, Kubernetes on AWS—reflects a data-pipeline-heavy architecture designed for streaming ingest and real-time processing. Active hiring spans engineering, data, and construction roles, with infrastructure and data-access reliability appearing as both active projects and top pain points, suggesting Rekor is in a scaling phase where data-flow reliability directly constrains product velocity.
Rekor Systems collects and organizes mobility data to enable roadway intelligence for public safety, law enforcement, and transportation agencies. The platform ingests vehicle recognition and license plate data from distributed camera networks, processes it through a Kafka- and Spark-based pipeline, and serves it to customers via secure APIs backed by MongoDB and Redis. The company operates in the United States and Israel, with 201–500 employees. As a public company, Rekor is also actively managing SEC reporting, SOX compliance, and financial close processes in parallel with product development.
Rekor uses Kotlin, Python, Kafka, Kinesis, Kubernetes, Redis, MongoDB, Docker, Apache Airflow, and Spark on AWS. The company is actively adopting GitHub Copilot and Cursor for development velocity.
Rekor is headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, and is listed on NASDAQ under the ticker REKR.
