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.

    • Strong expertise in :

  • Search & Routing Engines : Graph algorithms, shortest path, traffic-aware routing, multimodal routing.
  • Traffic Systems : Real-time ingestion, traffic modeling, prediction, and visualization.
  • Geospatial Data : Map data structures, geocoding, spatial databases (PostGIS, Elasticsearch, etc.).
  • Cloud & Data Platforms : AWS / GCP / Azure, Kafka, Spark / Flink, Kubernetes.
  • AI / ML for mobility : Demand prediction, ETA calculation, congestion detection, recommendation systems.
  • Proven success in scaling large, data-intensive, real-time systems.
  • Track record of building and leading cross-functional engineering teams.

    • Leadership Competencies

  • Strategic thinker who can balance long-term vision with execution focus.
  • Deep understanding of both technology and business needs of mobility / automotive clients.
  • Ability to inspire, mentor, and scale technical teams.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

    • Please shortlist a few relevant profiles and share them with us.
