Full Remote | Offices in Los Angeles & Houston
HEY! IMPORTANT!
Please include a cover letter about why the job speaks to you (#8️⃣). It's the most important thing, we need to know who you are and what you're about.
Well, this isn’t your average job ad, and we’re not looking for your average engineer. Interested? Let’s dig in.
1️⃣ Who are we:
Our company was founded in 2006 specializing in all things technical for bus-based public transit systems in the US. This means we design, manufacture, and manage all kinds of different products and features, including driver interfaces, dispatch communications (text and voice), passenger counters, announcers, GPS tracking, and reporting & data analytics. It also means we build real-time information systems for riders ("Bus in 7 & 10 min") including apps and digital signage found at bus stops. We have relationships with Apple Maps, Google Maps, Transit app, and our work goes out to millions of riders on those platforms. Our product is like air traffic control, but for buses. There are a mix of hardware and software products in this role. We hope this excites you!
The company was acquired in 2015 by a European company (GMV) who does what we do there, in addition to having a market leading presence in space and defense. We’re still led by our founding team and have a group of passionate technologists and transit lovers across our organization.
The company has approximately 50 people, with 12 in the product/engineering department, but we’re part of a 3,000 person parent organization. It’s the best of both worlds: small company feel with big company support. We are fully remote with offsites once or twice a year and physical offices that some folks choose to use in Downtown LA & Houston, TX.
You don't need to be in either of these locales, but it would be great if you are.
