Job description

Swiftly is on a mission to help cities move more efficiently. We are the leading transit data platform for agencies to share real‑time passenger information, manage day‑to‑day operations, and improve service performance. Today, over 200 transit agencies in 12 countries – including LA Metro, MARTA, SEPTA, and MBTA – rely on Swiftly to improve on‑time performance by up to 40% and increase passenger information accuracy by up to 50%. The result is better service reliability, increased ridership, and more efficient transit operations.

Even though Swiftly’s HQ office is located in San Francisco, CA, we are open to candidates in most locations across the U.S. as well as Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. At this time we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship.

Engineering at Swiftly is not only about writing code – we believe in creating empowered product teams that work together to conceptualize new features and bring them to life. Each team aims to strike a balance between delivering incremental improvements, creating prototypes to test new ideas and mitigate risks, and building scalable software using industry best practices. We’re guided by a mission to positively impact transit riders, and we embrace humility and intentionality in how we make technical decisions so that we best meet our customers’ needs.

Swiftly is located in San Francisco, CA. We are hiring locally and remote at this time.

• You’ve worked on a team (or want to work on a team) that builds software that can be understood and extended by your teammates.
• You’re excited to work on both features within a team’s project and on more self‑directed projects that impact the broader team.
• You embrace a growth mindset both for yourself and your fellow teammates. At Swiftly, we recognize that technology is always changing and requires continual learning. You love learning and helping those around you grow.
• You’re open to receiving feedback, approach technical debates with humility, and participate in blameless postmortems when things go wrong.

Travel note:

Swiftly employees can generally expect to travel 1–2 times a year for in‑person company or team offsites. As a fully distributed company, we consider these offsites important for cultivating strong relationships across our teams. Attending these in‑person is expected and encouraged, although we understand everyone has different personal circumstances and we will consider requests for exceptions. Customer‑facing team members and other specific roles may be expected to travel more frequently.

We are an equal opportunity employer – we are committed to a workplace that is as dynamic, diverse, and passionate as the communities we serve.
