Software Engineer Safety & Certification Tooling - Glydways

Glydways is reimagining what public transit can be. We believe that mobility is the gateway to opportunity—connecting people to housing, education, employment, commerce, and care. By making transportation more accessible, affordable, and sustainable, we empower communities to thrive and unlock economic and social prosperity.

Our mission is to revolutionize transit with a solution that delivers high capacity, exceptional user experiences, unmatched affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is a groundbreaking network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating 24/7 with on-demand access, it offers personalized and efficient mobility—without the burden of heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we’re building more than a transportation system; we’re creating a future where everyone, everywhere, has the freedom to move.

Meet the team:

The Developer Platform team as a part of Software Foundations and Architecture is responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure that enables all developers to track, build, deploy and operate our software.  From the build system everyone uses, to AI and local developer tools, to the tools used to submit and deploy changes, to the cloud infrastructure they use to operate it - we support the entire development experience.  The Developer Platform team forges the tools that empower the entire software engineering organization while working with engineers from almost every team.

Glydways vehicles carry passengers, so a meaningful part of our codebase is safety-critical and must be developed to SIL-4 under the CENELEC railway standards (EN 50128 / EN 50716). Our job is to develop the tools and processes that make that provable. This role builds those mechanisms, working closely with our Safety and Systems teams to turn certification requirements into automation.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and launch the tooling that keeps our SIL-4 code classified, reviewed, and provably signed off.
• Develop lightweight web-based applications and reports that show our safety posture to engineers and auditors.
• Maintain and improve our Bazel build system, working with team members to keep it fast, reliable, and easy to use.
• Maintain and enhance developer workflows, including build, lint, code coverage, and testing support for C++, Python, and Go languages.
• Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to identify and implement improvements in the continuous integration (CI) system, utilizing AWS and Buildkite.
• Develop, deploy, and support automation tools to streamline common developer workflows, such as change submission, integration testing, and dependency management.
