Role overview
At Masabi we’re driving the fare payment revolution, powering the journeys of millions worldwide by building fare collection platforms that let riders buy and present tickets via mobile phones, ticket machines, or bank cards. We’re looking for Systems Engineers to connect our Justride platform to the physical world—validators, faregates, fareboxes, point‑of‑sale terminals and onboard vehicle systems—working across the device‑to‑cloud boundary from embedded SDKs to cloud services.
Responsibilities
- Integrate and maintain Justride SDKs on embedded and hardware‑enabled devices, including fare media validation, NFC and contactless EMV tap handling, and barcode payloads
- Build and maintain features in our Android point of sale app, including integration with card readers, NFC readers and printers
- Build and maintain on‑device services and integration proxies that connect to onboard vehicle systems such as GPS and AVL
- Contribute to cloud services that support devices, such as remote configuration and software updates
- Write clean, well‑tested code and contribute to code reviews, CI pipelines, infrastructure as code, monitoring and releases for the components you work on
- Troubleshoot issues across devices and the cloud using logs, metrics and lab hardware
- Take part in feature refinement and technical discussions, and help shape solutions
- Take ownership of your work and support team outcomes
Requirements
- Clear, confident communication in written and spoken English
- 2 or more years of commercial software engineering experience
- Solid programming skills in at least one language, and happy to pick up others
- Comfortable working across the stack, from cloud services down to device‑level concerns
- Experience building or running services on AWS or another major cloud platform
- A solid grounding in testing (unit, integration and contract tests), Git workflows, CI/CD and Docker
- Able to work through ambiguous problems and ask for help when needed
- Collaborative and team‑oriented, happy to share knowledge and learn from others
Nice to have
- Experience with Java/Kotlin, Go or C
- Android development experience
- Embedded Linux experience (Yocto, systemd, cross‑compilation)
- Familiarity with NFC, smartcards or EMV contactless
- Experience with Terraform/Terragrunt, gRPC and Protobuf
- Experience in security‑sensitive environments (PCI, key management) or with hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing
- Knowledge of transit, ticketing or IoT device fleets
Benefits
- Fully remote contract role for people based in India, with a shifted pattern to align with UK working hours
- Opportunity to work on a global fare payment platform used in over 250 locations
- Inclusive culture that welcomes underrepresented groups, disabled and neurodivergent people, with adjustments available at any stage of the process
