About The Position

At Lytx, we help make roadways safer by transforming real‑time video and telematics into safety intelligence that prevents collisions and saves lives. You will lead the Foundational Core and Insights teams, the mission-critical engine that turns data products into action. This means owning the high-resiliency services that power the platform, from a zero-failure Identity and Permissions framework to the Analytics Experience our customers use to manage risk. Your objective is to build the robust, multi-tenant services that allow our entire product ecosystem to scale seamlessly. This is a role for someone who is aggressive about AI. Not only for incorporating it into commercial products, but also for leveraging Generative AI into the core of how we deliver products. If you have a passion for high-leverage services and building strong teams, this job is for you.

• Proven success with cloud‑native microservices, high-scale systems, and the nuances of building granular, multi-tenant permission models.
