Who we are:

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 our company. 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, 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’ve got teams working across fields as diverse as software development and hardware engineering, product management, design, marketing, sales, project management, customer support, warehouse and field services, procurement, and finance.

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.

This is a business, and we’re here to serve customers:

Our customers are public transit operators. Their customers are the transit riding public, which is often people who have far less than we do. Our job is to Make Transit Work for them. We take this mission very seriously, and to put it bluntly: we want team members who are here to solve problems and serve customers as our first and only priority. If you are looking for a cushy, easy job, or one with a lot of hand holding, this isn’t the place for you. Our process is flexible and we’re interested in constantly delivering value in whatever way works best for the situation at hand.

If you want to be challenged and grow in a small team environment with high autonomy and see your work live on thousands of transit buses nationwide, then we are the team for you.

We hire for your attitude:

We value people who enjoy being wrong and learning something new about why in the process. We value people who challenge & support their peers, pressing them to be better versions of themselves and up-level the team. We care about whether you can communicate well, enjoy technology and cities, and can translate complex ideas into simple explanations. We’re looking for folks with tons of potential upside and we are willing to take a risk if we sense that.

We value interest in technology, transportation, and non-traditional, wide-ranging backgrounds.

We hire for the long term:

We offer cash compensation, great benefits, and a career-making moves in a growing organization. We look for new hires who will grow with us for the long term, and succession planning is always on our mind. When we have the opportunity to grow our management team, we want that hire to be someone who’s proven themselves on the inside.

Our team is passionate, our product makes a difference, and your commitment is needed. 

OK OK we like to have fun too:

Much of our work happens on Slack, and it’s a playful environment. Twice a year we have offsites, and they’re in fun places (Las Vegas, San Diego, Madrid, to name a few…). We know our job ads can sound all business, but our company is a small one with a great culture, and you’re going to have fun being a part of it.

We promise you won’t be disappointed.

To express your interest, you must send more than a resume – we need to understand who you are:

We don’t need a basic sir or madam cover letter, but we’d love to hear more about who you are. Just put it in your email to us. Some ideas for what it should include are: specifics about why your background (whatever it is) makes you well suited to an organization like ours, and what about our company specifically appeals to you, and some examples of times you’ve fought for a customer’s needs.

The letter you write for us will be 10 times more valuable than your resume in getting our attention. If you send just your resume, it is very unlikely we will respond (but we’d still love for you to attach it to your letter).
