Your work directly enables cities to optimize transit operations and enhance the rider experience, making public transit smarter and more reliable.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with the implementation team to review project milestones, then a call with a transit agency to troubleshoot a data integration issue.

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • → Review Swiftly's product offerings: their real-time passenger information, operations optimization, and data analytics tools.
  • → Understand the basics of GTFS (General Transit Feed Specification) and AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) systems.
  • → Look into recent case studies or blog posts about Swiftly's impact on transit agencies (e.g., ridership improvements).
  • → Familiarize yourself with the challenges transit agencies face, such as budget constraints and aging infrastructure.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk me through a time you implemented a SaaS solution for a transit agency or similar client. What data challenges did you face?
2 How would you handle a client who is resistant to adopting the platform after training?
3 Explain the difference between GTFS static and real-time feeds, and how you would validate data quality for both.
4 Describe a project where you had to switch from waterfall to agile midway. What triggered the change and how did you manage it?
5 Why are you passionate about transit and sustainability, and how does that align with Swiftly's work?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't be vague about your technical skills: mention specific tools (e.g., GTFS validation scripts, SQL) and avoid generic 'familiar with transit data'.
  • Avoid overemphasizing project management without connecting it to technical execution: this role requires both.
  • Don't neglect the mission: failing to express genuine interest in transit and sustainability may signal misalignment with Swiftly's culture.
