Engineering Manager II, Telematics Technology

United States · remote · USD 168000-220000 annual

Role overview

Root is on a mission to unbreak insurance by creating experiences people love at prices they can’t believe. We believe that investing in world-class technology will facilitate a new class of insurance products, driving a massive positive impact on the hundreds of millions of drivers who carry auto insurance in the US. Root’s Engineering team is committed to building a flexible platform on which our product designers and quantitative scientists can quickly test ideas, deploy them into production, and iterate, with the ultimate objective of a delightful customer experience coupled with effective risk management.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an Engineering Manager II to lead our Telematics Technology domain. In this role, you will manage the engineers who deploy, support, and operate the production systems that turn granular driving data into the risk signals that power Root's pricing and customer experience. You'll partner closely with Data Science, Pricing, Underwriting, and other stakeholders to set the strategy for the domain, while ensuring your engineering organization is healthy, growing, and delivering reliably.

Our telematics strategy is centered on two key focus areas. First, the Telematics Platform focus area operates the telematics feature store, trip featurization pipelines, canonical data conversion, and the Telematics API. This is one of Root's founding capabilities, and stakeholder demand is growing as more teams depend on telematics data to make decisions.

Second, the Telematics Experience focus area aims to unlock the full value of telematics throughout the insurance lifecycle, from first impression to late tenure. We are committed to building best-in-class customer-facing experiences that make telematics convenient and transparent for all our customers while maintaining an imperative to reward the safest drivers.

As the Engineering Manager, you'll be accountable for the execution, delivery, technical direction, and people leadership across these focus areas.

Salary Range: $168,000 - $220,000 (Eligible for competitive bonus and equity offering)

Root is a “work where it works best” company. This means we will support you working in whatever location that works best for you across the US.

How You Will Make an Impact

Engineering Managers at Root lead at the intersection of technical strategy and people development. In this role, you will guide a multi-faceted domain that balances the rigor of high-scale sensor data pipelines with the user-centricity of customer-facing mobile experiences. Success depends on your ability to deliver reliable technical infrastructure that fuels our core insurance products, while simultaneously unlocking intuitive, transparent ways for our customers to interact with their driving data.
