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 under-the-radar industry that is 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, but with high morale and sense of ownership.
• You code really well: We mostly use Python and TypeScript, but we don’t care what you’re most proficient in today—as long as you learn fast.
• 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 "Fluid": 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.

The Role: Software Engineer (Recent Graduate)

The Mission: Forget the "shadowing" and the "simulated projects." At Blissway, you will be given real ownership from Week 1. You will work across our different "startups" to solve 1-to-100 scaling problems:

• Ship Production Code: Contribute to the "Secret Sauce" that identifies millions of cars daily.
• Full-Stack Exposure: Help build intuitive tools for government agencies and front-end interfaces for human reviewers.
• Edge-to-Cloud Logic: Write software that lives on roadside hardware and the servers that process its data.
• Rapid Prototyping: Work alongside senior mentors to integrate ML models that improve highway safety in real-time.

Our Technical Ecosystem (SEO for the curious):

While we value problem-solving over specific syntax, skills that transfer well are:

• Languages: Python, C++, SQL, Matlab, Bash scripting.
• Frameworks and Tools: EAGLE, KiCad, Altium.
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Linux, IoT Edge Devices.
• Specialties: Computer Vision (OpenCV), ML Integration, Payment Processing.
