Engineering Manager, Remix

As an Engineering Manager on the Remix team at Via, you will lead a talented full-stack team building the transit planning and scheduling tools that cities rely on to design smarter, more equitable transportation. This is a unique opportunity to combine technical leadership with real-world impact, shipping features that directly shape the daily commute of millions.

This is a hybrid position with the expectation that you will be onsite in SF 2-3 days a week.

About the Role:

• Lead and grow a team of full-stack engineers building Remix's fixed route and on demand scheduling and optimization applications that help transit planners explore network concepts, model scenarios, and communicate their vision to stakeholders.
• Own the technical direction of a product that blends complex geospatial data, rich React UIs, and algorithmic optimizations - balancing performance, usability, and reliability across the full stack.
• Partner closely with product managers, designers, and customers to deeply understand planner workflows, and translate those insights into engineering priorities and architectural decisions.
• Mentor engineers at all levels, running thoughtful 1:1s, growing careers, and creating a culture where ownership, curiosity, and feedback are the norm.
• Drive improvements to engineering processes - from code review standards to CI/CD pipelines, making it easier for the team to ship high-quality features quickly and confidently.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams across Via to align on shared infrastructure, APIs, and cross-cutting concerns as the platform scales globally.

About You:

• You have a minimum of 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a strong full-stack foundation, ideally across TypeScript/React on the frontend and Rails, Python, or similar on the backend.
• You've managed engineering teams and know how to build an environment where engineers do their best work through clear expectations, genuine mentorship, and room to grow.
• You’ve worked on production applications, and have dealt with on-call, deployments and production maintenance.
• You're comfortable making technical decisions in a complex, data-rich domain.
• You understand databases, performance tradeoffs, and what it takes to keep a product reliable and fast as usage grows.
• You lead with curiosity and empathy, whether you're pairing with an engineer on a tricky bug, presenting a roadmap to stakeholders, or talking directly with customers about their needs.
• You care about what you build. You're motivated by work that has real-world impact, and you bring that energy to your team.

Compensation and Benefits

• Final salary will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills. Salary reflected does not include equity or variable pay, where applicable.
• Salary Range: $215,000-$265,000
• We are proud to offer a generous and comprehensive benefits package, including free medical plans, 401K matching, catered lunch on Wednesdays, and many other perks.
