BLISSWAY provides next-generation roadside tolling infrastructure deployable in weeks and at zero upfront cost to agencies. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
The Mission: Our technological lead is built on hardware that simply doesn't fail. You are responsible for ensuring our roadside systems—solar power generation, cell connectivity, and high-speed sensors—operate with 99.99% reliability in the harshest environments. Hardening the System: Deep-dive into the reliability of our power systems and connectivity, ensuring our "secret sauce" remains insurmountable.
What they're looking for
- You love the grind: You take ownership and put in the time to meet deadlines. Our recent team survey showed an average of 55 hours/week, with occasional 70+ hour bursts for major releases
- You are detail obsessed: You have experience writing code, designing or building systems that stands up to the unpredictability of the physical world, where the small details are the difference between success and failure
- You are adaptable: 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
- You code really well: We mostly use Python, but we don’t care what you’re most proficient in today—as long as you learn fast
- Education: MS or BS in Electrical Engineering, Robotics or a related technical field
- Experience: You have built physical hardware. Whether at work or as a hobbyist (Raspberry Pi, ESP32, custom PCBs) we want to see what you’ve brought to life

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).
