Bridj is the nation's leading urban technology company. We focusing on creating the smarter city by using billions of data points to understand when, where, and how cities move. We then use that information to create systems that make cities more efficient, livable, and equitable. 

Our first consumer product focuses on creating the smarter city via a smarter mass transit system. We deploy a fully integrated shuttle network that doesn't have routes or schedules, but instead relies on both retrospective and prospective demand patterns. A bus that catches you, rather than you catching the bus. 

We have a fast paced environment, with a focus on speed to execution. We're solving real problems with real solutions, and doing it every day. We'd love to meet you.
