Original posting
DriverMetrics | London, UK | Lead Rails Developer | Full Time | REMOTE

We are currently in the process of significantly modernising our offering and expanding our business and sales operations. Product modernisation will include significant UX and design improvements as well as incorporating more advanced data analysis (machine learning) and integration of real-time fleet telematics data to help us even more accurately predict and mitigate driver incidents.
