Test Automation Engineer at UZURV in Richmond, VA

About UZURV

At UZURV, we believe that everyone has the right to get to the places they need and want to go, including work, school, shopping, connecting with friends and family, attending worship services, or just a night out. Many people are able to drive, take public transit, or use a rideshare or taxicab, but about 25% of Americans (and especially older adults and people with disabilities) need assistance for getting out and about. We call it assisted mobility, and that’s what UZURV exists to deliver.

UZURV is a high-growth company that utilizes a technology platform to connect drivers, operating their own vehicles and providers operating wheelchair-accessible vehicles, with older adults and people with disabilities who need assisted mobility in order to get out and about within their communities. Since our founding in Richmond, VA, in 2017, we have grown into a leading national assisted mobility provider by partnering with public transit agencies. Today, we are operating in more than thirty communities across eighteen states and the District of Columbia, and in half of the twenty largest transit agencies in the country. Better still, we are helping meet the transportation needs of millions of riders each year. And it’s not by accident. UZURV has grown, because of the quality of our service. Riders, drivers, and employees give us high marks for our organizational culture, and for the quality and timeliness of our service. Additionally, our state-of-the-art technology enables us to provide an exceptional product at a cost significantly lower than the costs that our clients typically pay for the types of transportation services that we provide.
