Role

Who you are

Masabi is looking for developers to join our expanding Justride Validation team, which is responsible for both the backend server infrastructure powering our ticket validation systems and the software running on the devices in the field
You will be developing the Justride Inspect solution, which has provided ticket inspection and validation solutions for many transit agencies for more than a decade, and you will be working alongside a technically diverse team that have a range of expertise you can learn from
Our services need to be extremely reliable - rush hours in big cities depend on them - and performance under heavy load is critical
Software on devices must be reliable and, in a constrained environment, equally performant
You will have the opportunity to work on a variety of products, all of which are highly visible to our customers

What the job involves

You will have strong core Java/Kotlin and object-oriented skills, and experience of implementing high-quality high-performance software
Some exposure to any of AWS, mobile development, and large scale operations would be a bonus, but equally valuable is being open to learning about some or all of these
Value collaboration, as you will learn how to excel as a team member by working closely not just with peers and colleagues from different areas of the business
You will adapt to implement high-quality, high-performance software whether it be destined for a cloud server, serverless or on a constrained device
Passionate about technology and customer experiences
Must be approachable, patient and an excellent communicator, a team player
Experience mentoring junior software engineers to improve their skills and make them more effective and productive
You should also be the kind of developer that challenges the status quo and will be active in evolving our stack

Our take

Masabi is developing a SaaS-based fare collection and ticketing platform that allows commuters to buy and present tickets for public transport on their mobile phones or by tapping a bank card. Replacing ticket booths, vending machines and on-board points of sale, Masabi presents a convenient and modern alternative for public transport providers without the hefty set-up fees of an in-house solution.

Competition has recently been heating up in the SaaS for mobility services sector, and Masabi now faces competition from the likes of Transloc, Passport and SilverRail Technologies. However, Masabi stands out with the flexibility of its platform and its ease of implementation (just over two weeks in the case of Nikko Kotsu Bus in Japan, compared to the months it can take for competing solutions).

Masabi now has deployments with over 150 transit agencies in 9 countries, with millions of passengers using its fare and ticketing system each year. It is continuing to expand its customer base, most recently deploying its platform with Eau Claire Transit and the Las Vegas Regional Transportation Commission. As more transit companies switch from legacy systems to modern ticketing solutions, Masabi is well poised for future success.
