VP Engineering, Remix by Via

New York, New York

Via is on a mission to create public transportation systems that provide far greater access to jobs, healthcare, and education. Our platform serves as the technology backbone for modern transit networks, transforming antiquated and siloed public transportation systems into smart, data-driven, and efficient digital networks. With hundreds of agency partners around the world, Via is recognized as the leading transportation technology and service provider globally.

Remix, acquired by Via in 2021, is the leading collaborative platform for transportation planning, scheduling, and street design. Used by transit agencies, cities, and transportation planners worldwide, Remix helps shape whether people can reliably access work, school, healthcare, and opportunity and ultimately improve mobility for the communities they serve. 

As VP Engineering, you will lead the entire Remix engineering organization, owning the technical vision, engineering strategy, organizational health, and execution behind one of the most important software platforms in public mobility. This is a unique opportunity to lead a product that combines exceptional user experience with deep technical complexity. Remix is known for making sophisticated transportation planning workflows intuitive, visual, and collaborative. Behind that experience lies a platform that spans geospatial systems, real-time collaboration, large-scale transit datasets, optimization and scheduling algorithms, predictive modeling, analytics, modern cloud infrastructure, and emerging AI-powered capabilities.

As AI rapidly transforms both how software is built and what software can do, you will play a central role in shaping Remix's future—driving the adoption of AI-native engineering practices while helping define the next generation of intelligent tools for transportation planners and agencies. You will help shape the future of transportation planning technology while leading a team whose work directly impacts cities, agencies, and millions of riders around the world.

About the Role:

  • Lead the entire Remix engineering organization, setting the technical direction, operating model, and culture for a product suite used by transportation agencies and cities around the world.
  • Define and execute the long-term engineering strategy across Remix Planning, Scheduling, Streets, and emerging product areas, partnering closely with Product, Design, Data Science, Customer Success, and Via’s broader engineering leadership.
  • Drive engineering excellence across the organization, ensuring high standards of quality, reliability, execution, and customer impact while helping shape products that solve real-world transportation challenges.
  • Guide the evolution of Remix’s architecture across frontend applications, backend services, data systems, geospatial platforms, optimization engines, analytics, and integrations within Via’s broader TransitTech platform.
  • Lead the evolution of Remix into an AI-native engineering organization. Build on our existing adoption of coding agents and AI-assisted development, helping teams rethink how software is designed, built, tested, and operated in an era of increasingly capable AI systems.
  • Help define how AI transforms transportation planning itself, bringing new capabilities to Remix that enable agencies and cities to analyze scenarios faster, automate complex planning and scheduling workflows, and make better transportation decisions at scale.
  • Build, grow, and retain a world-class engineering organization by attracting exceptional talent, developing leaders, and fostering a culture of ownership, curiosity, and continuous improvement.
  • Serve as a senior member of Via’s technical leadership team, contributing to company-wide strategy and helping shape the future of transportation technology.

About You:

  • Extensive engineering leadership experience, including a proven track record of building and scaling high-performing engineering organizations.
  • Experience leading complex, technical software products, ideally in areas such as SaaS, enterprise software, developer tools, mapping, transportation, logistics, data platforms, or other workflow-rich domains.
  • Strong technical credibility across modern software architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and data-intensive applications.
  • Comfortable operating at every level—from organizational strategy and technical vision to architecture reviews, system design discussions, and critical engineering decisions. You can go deep when needed and earn the trust of senior engineers.
  • A product-minded leader who values craftsmanship and understands how exceptional engineering, product, and design teams work together to create software customers love.
  • Excited by the opportunity to apply AI across the engineering lifecycle. You actively leverage AI-powered development tools, coding agents, and emerging workflows to improve engineering productivity, quality, and velocity.
  • Bullish on the role of AI in transportation software and eager to help define how AI can enhance planning, scheduling, analysis, decision-making, and user experiences across the Remix product suite.
  • Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain exceptional engineering talent and leaders.
  • Energized by mission-driven work and motivated by the opportunity to improve transportation systems and access to opportunity for communities around the world.

Compensation and Benefits (US only)

  • 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: $350,000-$400,000 USD
  • 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.

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
