Via is on a mission to create public transportation systems that provide far greater access to jobs, healthcare, and education. Our platform serves as the technology backbone for modern transit networks, transforming antiquated and siloed public transportation systems into smart, data-driven, and efficient digital networks. With hundreds of agency partners around the world, Via is recognized as the leading transportation technology and service provider globally.

As aSoftware & Data Engineer at Via, you will play a central role in building and evolving the data infrastructure that powers one of the world's leading transportation platforms. You'll work with rich, complex transportation data - from ride bookings and payments to real-time operational signals - designing the pipelines and systems that turn raw data into clean, reliable, and actionable insight across the business. This is a high-ownership role on a talented and deeply motivated engineering team in Tel Aviv, where your work will directly shape how Via understands and improves its service for cities and riders around the world.

About the Role:

Design and build highly scalable, reliable data pipelines that serve clean, structured data across Via's engineering, product, and business teams - ensuring the entire organisation can trust the data it works with
Own the architecture of complex data models that translate messy, real-world transportation data - bookings, payments, driver activity, and more - into systems that are fast, efficient, and built to scale
Lead end-to-end development across the full data lifecycle: from architecture and design through to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement
Proactively monitor data quality and reliability, identifying and resolving discrepancies before they reach stakeholders - building the kind of data infrastructure people can depend on
Collaborate with a broad forum of engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders to identify data needs, design POCs, and ship scalable solutions that make a real difference to how Via operates
Contribute to the adoption and evolution of our modern data stack, including DBT, Airflow, Iceberg storage, and AWS big data tooling such as Glue, EMR, and Athena

About You:

5+ years as a Data Engineer with production-grade Python and SQL
Solid data warehousing experience (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery).
Hands-on AWS familiarity: Lambda, S3, SNS/SQS, Firehose, and related lake/ingestion patterns.
Platform mindset: reliability, observability, and systematic production debugging.
Terraform/IaC skills: read, modify, and ship changes for EKS-based deployments.
AI tooling fluency: Cursor/Claude as a primary workflow, can navigate unfamiliar codebases with AI assistance
Experienced with modern data stack tooling; DBT, Airflow, and Iceberg storage are a significant advantage, as is familiarity with AWS big data services and BI tools such as Looker or Tableau
Passionate about data and genuinely curious about technology - you're the kind of person who identifies a gap, designs a solution, and sees it through without being asked
A strong collaborator who thrives working across engineering and business teams, comfortable translating ambiguous business needs into precise, well-designed data models
Self-driven and comfortable navigating complexity independently - you bring clarity to hard problems and raise the bar for the people around you

Compensation and Benefits:

Our product impacts millions of users around the world providing alternative transport solutions that are more: efficient and accessible, changing cities to make them greener.
Competitive compensation package which includes base salary and equity
Health insurance with a discount for family members
Hybrid work and a lovely office situated in the heart of TLV, in Midtown, close to the light rail and train station
Career development and growth opportunities
