The Rail team is a cross-functional squad within Plusgrade’s Solutions Business Unit that owns and evolves our rail upgrade and ancillary platform for partners like Amtrak, Eurostar, and European Sleeper.
They design, build, and optimize products such as Bid Upgrades and Instant Upgrades, along with rail-specific eligibility, pricing, and reporting capabilities, to help railway operators maximize revenue and elevate the passenger experience.
The team works closely with product, engineering, and partner stakeholders to deliver new launches, migrate partners onto our latest storefront (AMP v3), and continuously improve performance across our global rail portfolio.
Our Software Developers are full stack. In a typical week, a developer will develop new features with a cross-functional team of product managers, designers, and frontend, automation, and test developers.
We value shipping well tested high quality features fast and frequently. They also collaborate with peers to develop technical proposals and contribute to internal tools that optimize our development processes.
They will assist our skilled support team and operations team in triaging and resolving issues.
