TL;DR<ul><li>A role with serious impact and autonomy to help build our transportation planning platform.</li><li>A company with a purpose: Podaris was founded in the belief that better transportation planning tools can create a better world.</li><li>Endless opportunities to solve complex algorithmic challenges, from graph routing problems, to algebraic geometric constraint solvers.</li><li>A truly flexible environment: set your own hours, your own remote location, and directly influence tools and technologies used.</li><li>£50k-£60k with a meaningful equity component.</li></ul>About PodarisPodaris is a fast-growing startup in the transport and urban planning sector, aiming to change the way the world plans its cities. Our mission is to bring together all stakeholders in the urban development process -- planners, engineers, transport technology vendors, public interest groups, property developers, and more -- in a shared modelling environment, where ideas can be iterated in a rapid and agile fashion. We have created a web-based collaborative transport planning platform which incorporates aspects of GIS, CAD, transport simulation, and more.The platform is being used by customers around the world, from large-multinational private campus owners, to global consultancies, to local authorities and transport operators. They use Podaris for everything from bus network redesigns, to the planning of new innovative multi-billion pound fixed-infrastructure schemes.Our small team makes for an inclusive, interdisciplinary, and intellectually stimulating environment.
