Solutions Architect

Solution Architect – Transit Fare Systems

Location: Remote U.S. (Eastern or Central Time Zones Preferred)
Industry: Transit Technology & Fare Systems
Travel: ~25% (U.S. & Europe)

Your Role

As a Solution Architect, you’ll serve as the bridge between customers and global engineering teams — designing integrated fare-collection systems that connect the physical and digital sides of public transit.
Your work will ensure that every component, from the on-board devices to the back-office software, operates seamlessly together.

You’ll join a collaborative team of technologists who care deeply about urban mobility, public infrastructure, and delivering solutions that make transit work better for everyone.

What You’ll Do

Shape solutions from concept to delivery: lead technical definition during the bid phase and carry that knowledge into implementation.
Translate needs into architecture: define system requirements, integrations, and data flows that bring complex solutions to life.
Collaborate globally: partner with international development teams to align design, implementation, and product evolution.
Support customer engagement: participate in discovery workshops and technical presentations to ensure clarity and trust.
Own the technical story: ensure completeness, consistency, and traceability across a mix of software, devices, and APIs.

What You Bring

A systems-thinker mindset — able to connect software, devices, and integrations into cohesive solutions.
Fluency in software development concepts, even if you’re not coding day-to-day.
Experience with distributed systems, APIs, and third-party integrations.
Comfort in matrixed, cross-functional environments and a talent for collaboration across cultures and time zones.
Curiosity and learning agility: you pick up new tools and technologies quickly.
Background in transit technology, intelligent transportation systems, or payment environments is helpful but not required.

The Environment

You’ll thrive in a high-performing, self-directed team that values initiative, clarity, and follow-through. This organization blends technical depth with purpose—building systems that keep communities connected. Expect meaningful work, steady growth, and a culture that values people as much as performance.

Why This Role

If you love translating complex technology into practical impact, this opportunity lets you design fare-payment systems that move millions of people every day — while working alongside peers who share your passion for transit and technology.
