Data Scientist (Maps)

It's very hard to find a company product without geo services involvement. From the mechanic heart of the system to the polished passenger application you will find to name a few: routing, map display, differential privacy for location data and map matching. While a lot of mapping tech comes from commercial third-party solutions, we implement a fair share of in-house ideas. And the more the business grows, the more the innovations are needed. This is where you have a great opportunity to mix your strong data science skills with your passion to deliver the seamless product experience to every part of our system.
