Manager, Data & Insights

May Mobility

About The Position

May Mobility is transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May develops and deploys autonomous vehicles (AVs) powered by our innovative Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that literally reimagines the way AVs think. Our vehicles do more than just drive themselves - they provide value to communities, bridge public transit gaps and move people where they need to go safely, easily and with a lot more fun. We’re building the world’s best autonomy system to reimagine transit by minimizing congestion, expanding access and encouraging better land use in order to foster more green, vibrant and livable spaces. Since our founding in 2017, we’ve given more than 300,000 autonomy-enabled rides to real people around the globe. And we’re just getting started. We’re hiring people who share our passion for building the future, today, solving real-world problems and seeing the impact of their work. Join us. May Mobility is experiencing a period of significant growth as we expand our autonomous shuttle and mobility services nationwide. We are seeking an experienced Manager of Data Science to lead the team responsible for developing insights from autonomous vehicle data. In this role, you will build and guide a high-performing team of engineers as they create scalable methods to make our AV data searchable and actionable. You will define the roadmap for data observability, enabling faster issue triage, robust test set creation, and high-quality dataset curation. Join us to lead the strategy that powers our autonomy improvements and shapes critical business decisions.
