In-Person Role | GMV Offices in Houston

Join our team and build the future of public transit!

It's not your average job ad, and we're not looking for an average engineer. Interested? Let's dig in.

Who We Are

Our company focuses on all things technical for bus-based public transit systems in the US. This means we design, manufacture, and manage all kinds of different products and features, including driver interfaces, dispatch communications, passenger counters, announcers, GPS tracking, and reporting & data analytics. It also means we build real-time information systems for riders including apps and digital signage found at bus stops. We have relationships with Apple Maps, Google Maps, Transit app, and our work goes out to millions of riders on those platforms. Our product is like air traffic control, but for buses. The US-based division of the company has approximately 50 people but is part of a 3,500-person parent organization. It's the best of both worlds: small company feel with big company support. We're seeking someone hands-on, mission-driven, and excited to make transit systems smarter and more reliable. This position is 100% on-site at our Houston facility. Remote work is not available.

Transit buses today are rolling data centers. Our work upgrades outdated systems to improve the experience for thousands of daily riders.
