Job description

Via is on a mission to create public transportation systems that provide far greater access to jobs, healthcare, and education. 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 an Engineering Manager on the Remix team at Via, you will lead a talented full-stack team building the transit planning tools that cities rely on to design smarter, more equitable transportation. This is a unique opportunity to combine technical leadership with real-world impact, shipping features that directly shape the daily commute of millions.

This is a hybrid position with the expectation that you will be onsite in NYC 2-3 days a week.

About the Role:

  • Lead and grow a team of full-stack engineers building Remix's core planning products tools that help transit planners explore network concepts, model scenarios, and communicate their vision to stakeholders.
  • Own the technical direction of a product that blends complex geospatial data, rich React UIs, and robust backend services - balancing performance, usability, and reliability across the full stack.
  • Partner closely with product managers, designers, and customers to deeply understand planner workflows, and translate those insights into engineering priorities and architectural decisions.
  • Mentor engineers at all levels, running thoughtful 1:1s, growing careers, and creating a culture where ownership, curiosity, and feedback are the norm.
  • Drive improvements to engineering processes - from code review standards to CI/CD pipelines, making it easier for the team to ship high-quality features quickly and confidently.
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams across Via to align on shared infrastructure, APIs, and cross-cutting concerns as the platform scales globally.

About you: 

  • You have 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong full-stack foundation, ideally across TypeScript/React on the frontend and Rails, Python, or similar on the backend.
  • You've managed engineering teams and know how to build an environment where engineers do their best work through clear expectations, genuine mentorship, and room to grow.
  • You're comfortable making technical decisions in a complex, data-rich domain.
  • You understand databases, performance tradeoffs, and what it takes to keep a product reliable and fast as usage grows.
  • You lead with curiosity and empathy,  whether you're pairing with an engineer on a tricky bug, presenting a roadmap to stakeholders, or talking directly with customers about their needs.
  • You care about what you build. You're motivated by work that has real-world impact, and you bring that energy to your team.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Final salary will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills. Salary reflected does not include equity or variable pay, where applicable.
  • Salary Range: $210,000 - $250,000 per year.
  • We are proud to offer a generous and comprehensive benefits package, including free medical plans, 401K matching, catered lunch on Wednesdays, and many other perks.

There has never been a more exciting time to be on the cutting edge of public mobility. Ready to join the ride?
