Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) is the world’s largest telematics service provider. Its mission is to make the world’s roads and drivers safer. The company’s AI-driven platform, DriveWell Fusion®, gathers sensor data from millions of IoT devices — including smartphones, proprietary Tags, connected vehicles, dashcams, and third-party devices — and fuses them with contextual data to create a unified view of vehicle and driver behavior. Auto insurers, automakers, commercial mobility companies, and the public sector use insights from CMT’s platform to power risk assessment, safety, claims, and driver improvement programs. Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, with offices in Budapest, Chennai, Seattle, Tokyo, and Zagreb, CMT measures and protects tens of millions of drivers across the world every day. 

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer embedded within the Claims Data Science team, you will design, develop, and ship ML/AI systems that support the Crash & Claims product suite. You'll own end-to-end projects that integrate telematics and unstructured data to deliver robust, production-ready models and algorithms that improve and streamline claims processing, triage and overall claims outcomes. This is a hands-on role focused on building reliable, scalable systems, improving model performance and robustness, and productionizing models to meet real-world product needs.
