About the role

The Mobility + Platform data org is the foundational layer that every Mobility product (Rider, Driver, Fares, Matching, Fulfillment) builds on. We operate a hub-and-spoke data model: a central core team (the data engineering Guardians) owns the tracks so the trains can run fast and safely, while embedded data engineers sit inside Fulfillment, Fares, Forge, and other verticals to serve local needs without duplicating foundational work.
