Company 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

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.

The Role

We are looking for an Android Engineer who will contribute significantly to Swiftly’s connected transit platform. You will join a small, agile team working to extend our platform into the mobile realm. Your initial focus will be designing, developing, and implementing product features, architecture, and testing infrastructure to enhance our Onboard App experience.

Onboard App is an intuitive Android application for onboard tablets providing real-time feedback directly to operators and vehicle analytics to Swiftly's transit data platform. It helps improve on time performance through turn-by-turn navigation, notification of service adjustments like detours or holds, and communication with dispatch. Running across buses, trains, and ferries, it boosts operator morale and performance by removing the guesswork from daily workflows, ultimately improving passenger satisfaction. As you grow you will have the opportunity to shape not only the evolution of Onboard App but Swiftly's overall mobile strategy.

We encourage you to apply if the above is exciting to you and if you meet half or more of the below requirements. We’re also looking for candidates with a variety of experience levels for our team so welcome your application if your experience exceeds this list. Above all else, we value candidates who angle toward growth, leveraging a positive attitude and the aptitude to relentlessly seek and solve problems to deliver impact. We know the tech landscape is ever-changing and strongly support individual growth. If this is exciting to you, then we'd love to talk!

We use AI tools for scheduling and summarization in our hiring process. We do not use AI tools to make decisions about who moves forward or to assess the strength of candidates. Every application is reviewed and all hiring decisions are made by Swiftly team members. This is an active, open role that we are currently hiring for at Swiftly.
