Our platform serves as the technology backbone for modern transit networks, transforming antiquated and siloed public transportation systems into smart, data-driven, and efficient digital networks. With hundreds of agency partners around the world, Via is recognized as the leading transportation technology and service provider globally.

As a Senior Product Designer, Remix Planning at Via, you’ll help shape the future of Remix, our industry-leading transit planning & scheduling platform used by hundreds of transit agencies around the world, to design and deliver better public transportation.

This is an opportunity to have broad product impact while helping define the next generation of tools for public transit.

NOTE: This position follows a hybrid model, requiring 2-3 days per week on-site in either our New York City or San Francisco office

About the Role:

• Lead the end-to-end design of complex planning workflows that help transit agencies design, evaluate, and evolve fixed-route and demand-responsive transit networks serving millions of riders worldwide.
• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, and transit professionals to transform transportation planning challenges into intuitive, map-based experiences customers rely on every day.
• Drive product direction from early discovery through launch by conducting customer research, exploring concepts, prototyping ideas, and translating insights into polished, production-ready experiences.
• Shape the future of Remix’s planning platform by identifying opportunities that span products, creating long-term experience visions, and influencing roadmap decisions with user-centered thinking.
• Design sophisticated workflows for enterprise users, balancing technical constraints, data-rich interfaces, and powerful functionality without sacrificing usability or craft.
• Raise the quality bar across the product through thoughtful interaction design, strong visual execution, design critiques, and meaningful contributions to our design system.
