On-demand urban transit systems with integrated hardware and software
Glydways builds on-demand mass-transit vehicles and the backend systems to operate them at scale. The stack reveals a hardware-software integration challenge: embedded systems work (FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, Yocto, NXP processors) runs alongside cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ), with explicit focus on safety (SecureBoot, OT network security) and real-time reliability. Active projects span vehicle control, ticketing systems, and deployment automation—a signature pattern for hardware startups moving from prototype to city rollouts.
Glydways designs and operates autonomous on-demand transit vehicles for urban mobility. Founded in 2016, the company operates from South San Francisco with 51–200 employees. The product surface includes the vehicle hardware itself, a backend platform for ride requests and operational dispatch, financial and simulation tools for city partners, and the safety and control systems required for automated transit certification. Deployment and scaling are core operational challenges; the company is actively hiring for engineering roles (majority senior-level) and expanding into Canada alongside U.S. operations.
Glydways uses PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Kubernetes for backend services; TypeScript, Node.js, Go, Python, and Java for application logic; and embedded systems stacks (FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, Yocto, NXP i.MX) for vehicle control and real-time systems.
Glydways is actively hiring in the United States and Canada, with headquarters in South San Francisco, California.
