This role reports into Jorge Ramos, Lead Data Engineer.

This is what Jorge says about the role:

“Transforming data into actionable information, that’s what you’ll do with Humn. We’re transforming hard to read, grasp and reason about information such as vehicle telematics into relevant information about driving patterns and risk. We’re transforming the way driving is perceived by empowering drivers with performance information and metrics within a system that rewards driving safer".

“At humn I found a home that focuses on providing me with everything I need to do what I love while loving what I do. A remote first environment that will empower you to drive your tasks in your terms and work with inspiring people that will help you grow and leap forward.”
