Transit operations platform for fare collection, fleet management, and passenger information
Vix Technology operates a distributed transit technology stack built on Java, C++, and AWS microservices (Lambda, ECS, Kafka) serving public transport operators across 200 cities. The engineering-heavy hiring mix—16 of 23 active roles—paired with simultaneous investment in security (3 dedicated roles) and a modernization program signals a shift from legacy systems toward cloud-native architecture. Pain-point data reflects the operational constraint: meeting SLAs for mission-critical infrastructure while automating internal processes and hardening against cyber risk.
Vix Technology provides intelligent transportation systems for public transit agencies and operators worldwide. The platform spans three core capabilities: automated fare collection (smart card payments, account-based ticketing), fleet management and vehicle monitoring, and real-time passenger information delivery across displays, audio, websites, and mobile apps. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Manchester, the company operates at scale across 200 cities. Current work includes installation and commissioning of on-vehicle and on-street equipment, IT modernization initiatives, and compliance/security hardening.
Java, C++, TypeScript, and .NET Core for application logic; AWS (Lambda, ECS, ECR, API Gateway) for cloud infrastructure; Kafka for event streaming; Oracle and PostgreSQL for data persistence; TeamCity for CI/CD; Selenium, Jest, and JUnit for testing.
