[Hiring] Director of Engineering @Vestige

Role Description

Transit Technologies is seeking an experienced, hands-on Director of Engineering to lead software engineering and delivery across our demand-response product portfolio, including OnDemand, ParaTransit, Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), and BrokerLink.

This is a highly technical leadership opportunity for someone who enjoys building great engineering teams while remaining actively involved in software architecture, code reviews, technical problem-solving, and product delivery.

The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering expertise with proven people leadership, a passion for building scalable SaaS applications, and the ability to deliver reliable, high-quality software in a fast-paced environment.

Reporting to the SVP of Engineering, this leader will oversee approximately 10–15 technical leads, software engineers, and QA professionals across distributed teams. The Director will play a critical role in modernizing our products and advancing our TransitTechOS platform convergence strategy.

This is not a purely administrative leadership position. We are looking for a technical leader who remains close to the code and can actively contribute to engineering decisions and problem-solving.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• 4+ years of engineering leadership experience managing software development teams.
• Demonstrated ability to remain technically hands-on, including reviewing code, evaluating software designs, and troubleshooting complex engineering challenges.
• Proven experience delivering and supporting scalable SaaS applications in production environments.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, distributed systems, REST APIs, integrations, data modeling, and cloud-based technologies.
• Experience leading Agile/Scrum development teams through the full software development lifecycle.
• Demonstrated success in hiring, mentoring, developing, and managing engineering talent.
• Experience managing distributed engineering teams, including offshore development resources.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, automated testing, software quality, and production reliability.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, prioritization, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Requirements

• Experience developing software solutions for public transportation, mobility, logistics, or transportation technology.
• Familiarity with OnDemand transportation, ParaTransit, NEMT, or transportation brokerage platforms.
• Experience with real-time routing, scheduling, optimization, or dispatch systems.
• Knowledge of NEMT eligibility, billing, claims processing, or broker integrations.
• Experience integrating multiple software products into a unified technology platform.
• Familiarity with ADA compliance requirements or software development in regulated environments.
• Experience supporting enterprise customers and mission-critical SaaS applications.

Benefits

• Build technology that helps transportation providers deliver essential mobility services to communities.
• Remain close to engineering while influencing architecture, development practices, and product innovation.
• Work directly with senior engineering and product leadership on high-impact initiatives.
• Build and develop a strong engineering organization focused on quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Play a key role in the evolution of TransitTechOS and the modernization of our SaaS product portfolio.
• Join a team committed to solving complex challenges and delivering exceptional customer outcomes.
