Role
Who you are
- This is a senior position for someone with 7–10 years of experience who’s ready to take ownership of high-impact projects in a serverless, event-driven environment
- 7+ years of experience in full-stack development, including experience with TypeScript, React, and Node.js
- Proven experience building and maintaining mobile and/or web apps at scale
- Hands-on experience with serverless architectures, especially AWS Lambda, and strong understanding of event-driven systems (event sourcing, CQRS)
- Familiarity with relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL)
- Familiarity with AWS Aurora, DynamoDB, and Elasticsearch
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Strong understanding of infrastructure-as-code, ideally with AWS CDK
- Comfort navigating and improving CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, CircleCI, Cypress, RN Detox)
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset — you enjoy mentoring and learning from others
Desirable
- Experience with mobile app development (e.g. cross-platform frameworks or native app development), including deploying mobile apps to app stores
- Background in public transport or mobility domains
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an experienced Full Stack Engineer (Senior to Principal level) to join our Ops Driver Team
- You’ll play a key role in building and scaling our driver-facing products — mobile and web — that empower public transport operators and drivers across the world
- You’ll drive technical direction, architecture, and execution across frontend, backend, and infrastructure layers, collaborating closely with Product, Design, and fellow engineers
- Design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications using React (Web & React Native), TypeScript, Redux/Redux-Saga on the frontend, and Node.js with TypeScript on AWS Lambda for the backend
- Contribute to the architecture and evolution of our Driver App and its supporting services
- Collaborate with Product Managers and Designers to deliver intuitive, user-centric features for our mobile and web apps
- Work closely with other engineering teams to ensure system-wide reliability, scalability, and performance
- Take ownership of the full development lifecycle — from idea to production monitoring
- Lead or mentor other engineers, helping elevate code quality, best practices, and technical craftsmanship across the team
- Contribute to technical discussions on architecture, design patterns, and infrastructure, especially in our serverless and event-driven systems
Our take
Public transport is cheaper, greener and more available to the general public than most private transport alternatives. Yet it suffers from major defects. It is often criticised for being unreliable and of poor quality, leading users to look elsewhere; often towards solutions which clog cities' transport systems even more.
This is a problem which Optibus wants to solve. It supplies a platform that brings much-needed innovation to public transport, leveraging a robust combination of artificial intelligence, advanced optimisation algorithms and distributed cloud computing to make public transit smarter, better and more efficient.
Since its founding in 2014, the company has seen rapid uptake. It has been selected by the leading transit providers in more than 1000 cities around the world. It has also reached unicorn status and, with numerous offices across the globe, boasts a truly global outreach which positions it for a fruitful future.
