About the Job
May Mobility is transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May develops and deploys autonomous vehicles (AVs) powered by our innovative Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that literally reimagines the way AVs think.
Our vehicles do more than just drive themselves - they provide value to communities, bridge public transit gaps and move people where they need to go safely, easily and with a lot more fun. We’re building the world’s best autonomy system to reimagine transit by minimizing congestion, expanding access and encouraging...
As the Manager of Simulation Infrastructure, you will lead a team of full-stack and infrastructure engineers responsible for the deployment, scaling, and operational health of the web applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure supporting massive parallel batch simulation runs. You will drive the strategic roa...
Key Responsibilities
Recruit, manage, and mentor a team of high-performing full-stack and infrastructure engineers, focusing on their career growth, performance, and overall team health.
Own the strategic roadmap and execution for the web applications and tools that support simulation workflows (scenario management, run orchestration, tagging and taxonomy, and results analytics).
Guide the architectural decisions for scalable cloud infrastructure and container orchestration designed to support massive, parallel batch simulation runs.
Oversee the design and maintenance of relational databases and secure, high-throughput APIs that connect frontend portals to the underlying simulation systems.
Drive engineering best practices, reliability, observability, and cost-efficiency across the platform.
Partner closely with the Simulation Engine team and other stakeholders to align technical capabilities with business needs, define clean integration interfaces, and manage complex, multi-quarter projects.

5+ years of software engineering experience spanning backend services and cloud infrastructure, including at least 2+ years of direct people management experience.
Demonstrated experience guiding teams that operate production workloads on container orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes) at scale, alongside strong relational database ecosystems (e.g., PostgreSQL).
Solid foundational background in building secure, high-throughput APIs and web services (Go, Python, and/or Node.js) with modern frontends such as React.
Proven experience recruiting, building, and mentoring full-stack or infrastructure engineering teams.
Experience managing teams that support large-scale batch or parallel compute workloads.
Track record of successfully managing cloud cost optimization and observability initiatives.
Experience overseeing teams that utilize infrastructure-as-code and mature CI/CD pipelines.
Experience overseeing the development of internal developer tools or self-service platforms for technical users.
Background in simulation, autonomous vehicles, or robotics.
Standard office working conditions which includes but not limited to:
