  • Utilize Zoba’s industry-leading micromobility dataset: more than 400 million events and growing rapidly
  • Be responsible for technical product development as Zoba expands into new verticals
  • Collaborate closely with Zoba’s engineering team to build technical products
  • Help customers understand Zoba’ technical methodologies

What we are looking for:

  • 2+ years work experience in data science
  • An interest in cities, logistics, or mobility
  • Prior experience writing and maintaining production code
  • Prior experience deploying machine learning at scale
  • Experience with statistics or mathematical optimization
