Senior Software Engineer Team Lead

Experience: 1218 years of experience in technology/product leadership, with at least 7+ years in geospatial, navigation, or mobility platforms.

Role Description

The candidate will be responsible for building world-class maps, navigation, and traffic intelligence platforms, ensuring accuracy, scalability, and low-latency performance. The role requires deep technical expertise in geospatial systems, graph-based routing engines, and real-time traffic modeling, combined with strong leadership and product vision.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technology & Platform Development

- Define and execute the roadmap for location search, routing, and traffic intelligence platforms.

- Lead enhancement and development of graph-based routing algorithms, dynamic traffic-aware routing, multimodal transport planning, and EV-specific routing.

- Drive search engine capabilities (location/place search, geocoding, POI ranking, personalization).

- Enhance and manage real-time traffic ingestion, prediction, and visualization systems using AI/ML.

- Ensure systems are scalable, high-performance, and cloud-native (microservices, APIs, real-time data pipelines).

2. Data & AI

- Oversee ingestion and processing of multi-source data (GPS probes, IoT sensors, government feeds, crowdsourced data).

- Apply machine learning and AI models for location search, traffic forecasting, route optimization, and personalized recommendations.

- Ensure data quality, freshness, and accuracy in maps and traffic feeds.

3. Leadership & Collaboration

- Build and mentor strong engineering and data science teams specialized in geospatial and AI systems.

- Work with product leadership to ensure seamless integration of search, routing, and traffic services into MapmyIndia's B2B and B2C platforms.

4. Operational & Strategic Impact

- Establish engineering best practices for the availability, reliability, and security of location platforms.

- Drive IP creation in algorithms, data pipelines, and APIs.

- Align technology vision with MapmyIndia's growth strategy to become the leader in location-based mobility intelligence.
