More about this role

We combine world-class AI research with real-world applications that make a difference. At Tractable, you’ll collaborate with brilliant minds, work on transformative projects, and contribute to technology that helps people when they need it most.

Tractable is a leader in AI for auto repair and insurance, backed by SoftBank, Insight Partners, and Georgian. LumaScanner is our hardware-plus-SaaS vehicle scanning system: a drive-through scanner installed at dealerships, collision shops and insurer sites that pushes vehicle damage assessment toward real-time AI identification and repair estimation.

LumaScanner started as a small, scrappy project and is fast becoming a major revenue line. Our Salt Lake City team designs, builds and supports it - hands-on work, close to the hardware, with startup pace and real ownership, backed by the data and funding of a company that has already proven the model at scale.
