Shape the future of student transportation.

At BusRight, we’re replacing pen-and-paper logistics with real-time, intelligent routing software. Our platform powers live location tracking, ETA notifications, operational dashboards, and route optimization for schools, families, and drivers across the U.S.

Joining our engineering team means:

Building backend REST APIs to power BusRight client applications — Parent App, Driver App, Admin Portal, and more

Contributing to the migration of services across evolving technology stacks

Writing scalable, maintainable backend logic on top of PostgreSQL

Developing frontend modules using React.js and shared code via our Nx monorepo

Collaborating with a tight-knit, cross-functional engineering team

Participating in brainstorming sessions, product discussions, and retrospectives

Iterating quickly based on feedback from real users and teammates

  You take responsibility for your work from development to deployment

  You collaborate effectively across teams and communicate clearly

  You write clean, maintainable, and tested code

  You think critically and make pragmatic decisions when solving problems

  You adapt quickly to shifting priorities, feedback, or requirements
