As a Transit Tech intern in TID, you will help us build, support, and improve technology used by both transit riders and operations staff (e.g., dispatchers, or the operators who drive our trains and buses). We are seeking a person who with some familiarity in transit, spreadsheets, coding, or data who is interested in learning about and modernizing the operations of a transit agency.

We are hiring for two intern positions. These have different focuses, but the skills required are similar and there may be activities shared between the two roles:

Transit Data: You will work on the open real-time and schedule data we publish to drive official tools like our digital screens and app, as well as third-party apps like Google Maps.

Dispatching Apps: You will work on the apps that our front-line staff use to manage transit service and make sure we’re delivering high-quality transit to our riders.

As an intern, you will get guidance and mentorship from the MBTA’s Transit Technology managers, the Director of Transit Technology, and other members of the MBTA Technology Innovation Department. You will be part of a recognized, industry-leading team that is improving the technology the MBTA’s front-line staff use to manage transit operations so that riders receive the best possible service and real-time information.
