What drives us

“The company is wonderful, especially with the way they care so much about their employees. The people are also really nice and the company gives me all the tools to do my job.”

André Vieira Cyrino da Silva, Regional Director Brazil

“The people at Optibus are passionate about the transportation industry, dedicated to doing outstanding work, and subject matter experts that are always willing to help each other out.”

Rayah Smith, Head of People North America

"At the end of the day, we are all here to create an impact, this is what makes me tick. The upside of better public transportation is so big - for the climate, for public health, for accessibility to education and employment."

Oded Tsamir, Director of Product Management  

"I'm excited about the Optibus EV module. Moving towards Zero Emission Buses is crucial for the environment, but scheduling and charging them can be challenging. The EV module is a powerful tool that tackles these challenges."

Kal Wilson, Solution Engineer

"I was so amazed to see how diverse we are yet so determined in our efforts to work towards a common goal; to make public transportation better, together."

Polash Das, Regional Director India 

Perks
& benefits

Flexible time off 

We believe people should invest in their personal life, just like they invest in their professional life. That’s why we’ve instituted our “Flexible Time Off” policy – which eliminates the limit on the number of vacation days people can take per year.

Take a breath day 
Because we value our employees' wellbeing and their work-life balance, we introduced the concept of a "Take a Breath Weekend". This extended weekend occurs once a quarter and allows all of our employees to take a long weekend at the same time, with no work, no work-related correspondence, and no stress.
Volunteer opportunities

Making a positive impact on our communities and public transportation is at the core of our values. That's why we developed the Impact Program, which empowers our employees to engage in various volunteer opportunities

Training & development
Supporting individual development is important to us. ~60% of our managers were promoted for the role from an individual contributor role. We support your professional growth with a training budget, a mentoring program, formal career pathing, and much more.
Team events
We are proud of our great team! In order to facilitate social exchanges outside of work, we regularly organize team events on-site and online, from team night outs, to happy hours, to global events.
So much more!

Perks
& benefits

Work from home allowance

We think that people should work where they can do it best. That's why we not only provide well-equipped offices in many locations, but also offer an individual budget to help facilitate a comfortable work from home environment for our employees

Stock options
We believe that you should own a part of what you’re creating. Employees are granted options to purchase Optibus shares. This way you can benefit from the success to which you contribute.
Parental support
At Optibus, we are dedicated to building an inclusive and supportive workplace and we recognize that families come in all shapes and sizes. We support parents before and after their parental leave, e.g. by enabling them to reduce work time while paying a full time salary.
Bike/scooter allowance
We stand for sustainable transportation - and want to enable our employees to commute in a sustainable way as well. That's why we support the purchase of a electric/regular bike/scooter.
Innovation
We promote a culture of innovation by embracing new technologies, investing in R&D and through continuous improvement. We hold annual Hackathons and Quickathons where you can build great products related to transportation or Optibus' internal operations. It’s your chance to share your ideas and make an impact!
So much more!
