Overview

At BusPatrol, we’re transforming student transportation safety through cutting-edge technology and real-time automated enforcement. We’re seeking an Engineering Manager to lead our platform modernization journey—from a legacy monolith to a modern, microservices-based Automated Safety Platform.

As Engineering Manager, you will build and grow a high-performing engineering team, foster a culture of ownership and innovation, and deliver impactful solutions in partnership with U.S. counterparts and business leaders. This role is about more than managing delivery—it’s about shaping an engineering organization that consistently delivers high-quality, scalable, and secure products that protect millions of children and families.

Key Responsibilities

• Leadership & People Management: Build, mentor, and inspire a high-performing engineering team, creating a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous learning.

• Organizational Growth: Scale the engineering organization to meet business needs while ensuring strong talent development and retention.

• Strategic Partnership: Collaborate with U.S.-based leaders, product, and cross-functional stakeholders to align priorities and drive business impact.

• Technical Direction: Provide guidance on architecture, system design, and best practices as we transition from monolith to microservices and serverless platforms.

• Execution & Delivery: Ensure timely, high-quality, and reliable delivery of initiatives with measurable business outcomes.

• Engineering Excellence: Champion practices such as AI-Driven development, spec or harness led development methods, CI/CD, observability, secure coding, and test-driven development to raise the technical bar.

• Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Encourage experimentation and adopt modern technologies that improve scalability, performance, and developer productivity.

Preferred Qualifications

• 8+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years in an engineering management role.

• Proven ability to build, grow, and lead high-performing engineering teams.

• Experience guiding teams through platform transformations (e.g., monolith to microservices, cloud/serverless adoption).

• Strong background in backend systems using Python; exposure to frontend frameworks (React/Angular) a plus.

• Solid understanding of AWS cloud services (Lambda, S3, SQS, DynamoDB, API Gateway) and event-driven architectures.

• Familiarity with CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and modern DevOps practices.

• Knowledge of computer vision based applications, use of VLM technologies is helpful.

• Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills across geographies.

• Passion for mentoring and developing future leaders.

• BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

Why Join Us

• Lead a mission-driven engineering team that’s making roads safer for students and communities.

• Play a pivotal role in shaping BusPatrol’s platform modernization strategy and execution.

• Build and scale an engineering culture rooted in excellence, innovation, and impact.

• Collaborate with a diverse, global leadership team on high-visibility initiatives.

• Work with modern, cloud-native, and serverless technologies at scale.
