We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities.
We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.
We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:
- Platform engineer. Be responsible for our infrastructure in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.
- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.
- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.
- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.
- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of P Python, and some C and Java.
Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I was wondering where you get the National Rail train data from. Is it based on the open data from ATOC/RSP or do you have your own agreement from them?
I ask as I was thinking about writing a lib to parse and use the ATOC 'fares data', and just wanted to know if anyone has had any success with it. The format is well documented but a bit massive (80 page specification), before getting started would be nice to know if the data is actually useful. Their site says it is updated infrequently which made me a bit hesitant, and I don't think I've seen any projects where it's been used. Love your app by the way!
