Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?
We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.
We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.
What’s happening at Vay- First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
- We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
- We’ve completed 10’s of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
- ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe 🚀
As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you'l be sitting at the core of our Operations team, where data drives day-to-day decisions. You’ll work directly with onsite operational leaders to identify opportunities, solve real-world problems, and build analytics products that materially improve performance, efficiency, and customer experience.
This is a high-impact, hybrid analytics engineering / business intelligence role. You won’t be buried in dashboards no one uses. You’ll shape how our customer-facing services operate and scale, with a direct line between your work and operational outcomes.
If you want ownership, visibility, and impact, this role delivers all three.

- Strong end-to-end analytics ownership: you’ve taken data products from concept through to production.
- Proven track record of impact: your work has directly improved business or operational outcomes.
- Expert-level SQL skills: complex, performant queries are second nature.
- Strong experience with dbt: including designing sustainable, reusable data models.

- Data flow / integration tools (NiFi, OpenFlow)
- Comfortable handling light engineering work, such as:
- Working with APIs
- Configuring visualization tools
- Setting up integrations
- Solid understanding of time-series data and operational metrics, ideally with exposure to observability or real-time monitoring.
- Experience in fast-paced environments such as startups, scale-ups, or operations-heavy businesses.
- Familiarity with scripting (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for automation or lightweight tooling.
- Exposure to operational domains like mobility, logistics, fleet, or marketplaces.
