Well, this is not your average job ad, and we're not looking for your average engineer. Interested? Let's dig in.

Our company was founded in 2006 specializing in all things technical for bus-based public transit systems in the US. This means we design, manufacture, and manage all kinds of different products and features, including driver interfaces, dispatch communications, passenger counters, next stop announcements, GPS tracking, and data analytics. It also means we build real-time information systems for riders including apps and digital signage found at bus stops.

We have relationships with Apple Maps, Google Maps, Transit App, and our work goes out to millions of riders on those platforms. Our product is like air traffic control, but for buses. Our technology is part of the urban infrastructure of more than 100 US cities, and millions of people use our systems each month to get around this is very much an "IRL" technology.

The US-based division of the company has approximately 60 people, but there are currently only 3 working in sales we need more firepower. We have offices in Downtown LA & Houston, TX, plus many remote employees, and we hold offsites once or twice a year where we all get together. To learn more about our North America division, visit

Your future colleagues have a sincere interest in making the world a better place. We are helping reduce carbon emissions, fighting traffic congestion, making cities more livable, and enabling people to get around without a car (whether by choice or by necessity). Our clients are all really nice people who have committed their careers to public service and improving the communities where they work - we are proud to help them get it done.

If you want to be challenged with growth opportunities in a small team environment with high autonomy and see your work live on thousands of transit buses nationwide, then we are the team for you.

We value a candidate who is proactive, and results driven that can join our Sales team. The nature of sales in the transit industry is slow. It starts with meeting prospective clients at conferences and leading intro calls and software demos. We build a relationship with prospective clients so that we really understand their needs and can assemble the best possible solution.

You must make things happen - that's what makes this a great place to work if you have the discipline and mindset to thrive in it. For all this, you'll be rewarded with a sense of ownership and agency that you are in control of your own work.

You'll focus on supporting the sales team through:

• Planning and executing our presence at industry events.
• Researching prospective customers to confirm they are a good fit.
• Developing proposal content and assisting with the pursuit of specific opportunities.
• Develop tools and systems that can help make all salespeople more effective

Once you've mastered the above in helping other sales staff to thrive, this role may grow into also managing your own accounts and sales opportunities directly.

We are looking for a candidate that is curious, has attention to detail, has excellent communication skills, strong organizational skills and is a team player.
