INIT, a global supplier of integrated planning, dispatching, telematics and ticketing systems for buses and trains, has announced that it will increase its capacity in Maynooth, Co Kildare. 

Highly skilled software developers create applications for public transport projects around the world, including for ticketing and real-time passenger information systems for transport operators and authorities in cities including Honolulu, San Diego, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Nottingham, Dublin, Hamburg, and New Zealand.

On lookout for cloud software engineers

INIT opened its first Irish office in 2018, its first software development centre outside Germany and employs 25 people. From today, the office capacity has increased with space to accommodate up to 60 employees and INIT is on the lookout for further talented Java and Net cloud software engineers to continue their rapid growth. 

Matthias Kühn, INIT COO, underlined the importance of INIT’s Ireland branch: “In a little more than five years, our subsidiary in Ireland has exceeded expectations. We see this as confirmation that Maynooth is the right place to develop our innovative solutions for public transport.

"Doubling the staff and more than doubling their office capacity in Ireland will help INIT pave the way for continued success in the future. We are looking forward to receiving applications from qualified specialists for our development centre.”

Even before establishing its subsidiary, INIT had strong ties with Ireland, including Dublin Bus (Bus Átha Cliath). In 2010, INIT implemented the first fleet management and real-time passenger information platform for the Greater Dublin Area.
