Private passenger rail operator connecting Florida cities and expanding to the Southwest
Brightline operates the only privately owned and maintained passenger rail system in the U.S., running routes across Florida and expanding westward. The tech stack is traditional (Excel, SQL, R, Python, Salesforce, HubSpot) with Adobe's journey and analytics tools feeding customer segmentation work—a setup that reflects their dual focus on operations and guest experience. Hiring is operations-heavy (35 roles), with active projects spanning inventory management, dynamic pricing, and onboard revenue optimization, while pain points cluster around guest satisfaction, on-time performance, and scaling the corporate travel segment.
