Blaise Transit is on a mission to create sustainable, enjoyable, and accessible transportation for all! Our platform allows any organization to create an on‑demand transit system using their own vehicles. Unlike traditional (fixed‑route) public transit, on‑demand transit allows vehicles to be dynamically routed based on passenger demand. Using Blaise, our partner transit agencies can use their vehicles more efficiently (meaning less greenhouse gas emissions), provide a better passenger experience, and connect populations who have never had access to public transit before!

• We are sustainable. We leave our clients, our team, and our world better than we found them.
• We are innovative. We experiment with new solutions to help us continually improve.
• We are empathetic. We listen to understand, so we can forge strong relationships.
• We are inclusive. We want to be accessible to everyone, so we seek diverse perspectives.

• Work closely with our product and engineering teams to design, build, test, and ship production features.

• Help us build reliable, scalable software that improves access to sustainable transportation.

• Experience with backend technologies and/or modern frontend development (Node and React is a plus).

• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to learn new technologies independently.
• A self‑driven, ambitious mindset with the ability to work autonomously in a remote environment.
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative, team‑first attitude.

• Learn how to write production quality code from our team of developers.
• Gain experience working as part of a real software development team.
• Get feedback and support from a mentor during the first month of your internship.

• Work with awesome, driven people!

The Blaise Transit team values diversity in all forms and is an equal opportunity employer. Creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels comfortable is a top priority. To that end, we welcome and encourage applications from those who self‑identify as Indigenous, Black, as a Person of Colour, LGBTQ2S+, as a person with a disability, and/or any other minority.

Notre plateforme permet à n’importe quelle organisation de créer un système de transport en commun à la demande en utilisant ses propres véhicules. Contrairement au transport en commun traditionnel (c’est‑à‑dire à itinéraires et horaires fixes), le transport en commun à la demande permet de continuellement réarranger les itinéraires et les horaires des véhicules en fonction de la demande des passagers.

Les sociétés de transport faisant appel à notre plateforme peuvent ainsi utiliser leurs véhicules plus efficacement (réduisant ainsi leurs émissions de gaz à effet de serre), offrir une meilleure expérience aux passagers et relier des communautés qui n'ont jamais eu accès à des services de transport en commun auparavant!
