Rarefied talent in data science, data technology, and analytics

Data Scientist

TrueMotion

Job Description

At TrueMotion we’re motivated by three things: working with great people who make it fun to be at work every day, solving hard problems, and making driving safer and more affordable. If you’re a positive, organized, self starter, then TrueMotion might be a great fit.  Our patented technology precisely determines driver risk via data from a driver's smartphone. Insurance companies draw insights from this data, which is then used to help people become safer drivers and save money on car insurance. TrueMotion is backed by General Catalyst, Bain Capital Ventures and Lakestar.
