Full Job Description
Work at Blissway: Opportunity for Impact Every Day 🚀✨ Blissway is a startup that simplifies toll collection and dramatically improves highway safety. We are multiple startups in one: Deep Tech, AI/ML, Hardware, SaaS, and IoT. For the past five years, we have built a nearly insurmountable technological lead in tolling, an industry that is quietly bigger than football. While our competitors have thousands of employees, we operate with a lean but growing team of less than 30. We’ve stayed under the radar, but our impact is visible on the massive Interstate Highway System connecting every major US metro (except Juneau, AK—sorry, Juneau). YOU ARE A GOOD FIT IF... - You love the grind: You take ownership and put in the time to meet deadlines. Our recent team survey showed an average of 50 hours/week, with occasional 70+ hour bursts for major releases. - You are detail obsessed: You have experience writing code that stands up to the unpredictability of the physical world, where the small details are the difference between success and failure. - You are adapatable: We are a lean team. If you only want to work on a "niche thing" or are uncomfortable helping other teams when they need a boost, this isn't the place for you. We expect you to figure out what you need to get stuff done. OPERATIONS ENGINEER - PROCESS, INDUSTRIAL, AND PROJECT The Mission: Blissway builds intelligent roadside technology that makes highways safer and smarter. Our hardware — cameras, sensors, batteries and processing units — runs unattended on the Interstate Highway System, 24 hours a day, in sun, rain, and everything in between. We are looking for an Industrial Engineer who can own and build our processes for: production, inventory, testing, and the documentation that makes it all repeatable. You're making sure the right parts arrive on time, the right people know how to build them, and the right records exist to prove it. You'll also be hands-on when it counts. If something isn't correct, you'll be
