This is a unique opportunity to lead a product that combines exceptional user experience with deep technical complexity. Remix is known for making sophisticated transportation planning workflows intuitive, visual, and collaborative. Behind that experience lies a platform that spans geospatial systems, real-time collaboration, large-scale transit datasets, optimization and scheduling algorithms, predictive modeling, analytics, modern cloud infrastructure, and emerging AI-powered capabilities.

As AI rapidly transforms both how software is built and what software can do, you will play a central role in shaping Remix's future-driving the adoption of AI-native engineering practices while helping define the next generation of intelligent tools for transportation planners and agencies. You will help shape the future of transportation planning technology while leading a team whose work directly impacts cities, agencies, and millions of riders around the world.

About the Role:
  • Lead the entire Remix engineering organization, setting the technical direction, operating model, and culture for a product suite used by transportation agencies and cities around the world.

  • Guide the evolution of Remix's architecture across frontend applications, backend services, data systems, geospatial platforms, optimization engines, analytics, and integrations within Via's broader TransitTech platform.
  • Lead the evolution of Remix into an AI-native engineering organization. Build on our existing adoption of coding agents and AI-assisted development, helping teams rethink how software is designed, built, tested, and operated in an era of increasingly capable AI systems.
  • Help define how AI transforms transportation planning itself, bringing new capabilities to Remix that enable agencies and cities to analyze scenarios faster, automate complex planning and scheduling workflows, and make better transportation decisions at scale.
  • Build, grow, and retain a world-class engineering organization by attracting exceptional talent, developing leaders, and fostering a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
  • Serve as a senior member of Via's technical leadership team, contributing to company-wide strategy and helping shape the future of transportation technology.

About You:
  • Extensive engineering leadership experience, including a proven track record of building and scaling high-performing engineering organizations.
  • Experience leading complex, technical software products, ideally in areas such as SaaS, enterprise software, developer tools, mapping, transportation, logistics, data platforms, or other workflow-rich domains.
  • Strong technical credibility across modern software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and data-intensive applications.
  • Comfortable operating at every level-from organizational strategy and technical vision to architecture reviews, system design discussions, and critical engineering decisions. You can go deep when needed and earn the trust of senior engineers.
  • A product-minded leader who values craftsmanship and understands how exceptional engineering, product, and design teams work together to create software customers love.
  • Excited by the opportunity to apply AI across the engineering lifecycle. You actively leverage AI-powered development tools, coding agents, and emerging workflows to improve engineering productivity, quality, and velocity.
  • Bullish on the role of AI in transportation software and eager to help define how AI can enhance planning, scheduling, analysis, decision-making, and user experiences across the Remix product suite.
  • Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain exceptional engineering talent and leaders.
  • Energized by mission-driven work and motivated by the opportunity to improve transportation systems and access to opportunity for communities around the world.
