The posting

Mapbox is the leading real-time location platform for a new generation of location-aware businesses. Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere. More than 4 million registered developers have chosen Mapbox because of the platform’s flexibility, security and privacy compliance. Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers.

The Maps API team builds and maintains the applications and infrastructure responsible for creating and distributing Mapbox maps https://www.mapbox.com/maps. Thousands of customers rely on our services to seamlessly handle billions of requests every day, scale in real-time to global events, and enable designers, developers, and analysts to make and share maps we’ve never dreamed of.

Delivering maps means delivering a model of the world that’s changing all the time and needs to automatically support the world’s edge cases – writing systems, fonts, local regulations, and global boundary disputes.

Our team maintains the highest-traffic read APIs at Mapbox and the distributed ETL pipelines used by internal and external customers to turn data into maps. We’re building new ways for people to visualize location data. Check out our Mapbox maps https://www.mapbox.com/maps!

As AI becomes embedded in modern engineering workflows, we value engineers who can thoughtfully integrate AI into design, development, and decision-making. Our interview process will include discussion of how you use AI in your engineering workflow.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As a Software Development Engineer III on the Maps API team, you will be responsible for balancing rapid development of new mapping tools against the reliability of our services as they scale into new request volumes, markets, and use cases. In a single week on the Maps API team, you might write application code robust to a world’s worth of data, build and deploy microservices, diagnose complex system behavior as global markets drive traffic in unexpected ways, or facilitate continuous delivery at Mapbox.

In this role, you can expect to:

- Lead your engineering team to identify and scope out well-defined tasks.

- Execute on the scope and be accountable for delivering on time with quality.

- Design systems and make architectural decisions that will keep pace with the rapid growth of Mapbox’s customer base.

- Mentor your peers through 1:1s, facilitating design and code reviews, and providing continuous guidance to foster professional growth and technical excellence.

- Promote a culture of operational excellence by meticulously testing and monitoring our systems and code, writing documentation, and being on-call to support the health of our services.

- Reduce technical debt, share your knowledge, and invest in your teammates’ health and happiness, while optimizing application performance and accelerating feature velocity.

- Uphold a culture of collaboration, transparency, creativity, inclusion, and data-driven decisions.

WHAT WE BELIEVE ARE IMPORTANT TRAITS FOR THIS ROLE

- 8-10+ years of experience building scalable high volume low latency backend services.

- Proficiency with Python, NodeJS, and native AWS (CDK, ECS, Step Functions, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, CloudFront).

- Experience building mapping and geospatial related products.

- Familiarity with code versioning tools, such as GitHub.

- Able to perform independently all the development tasks, based on designs and specs.

- Self-starter who is communication and outcomes-oriented.

- An empirical analytical approach. You develop strong hypotheses, conduct spikes, and clearly communicate your findings.

- A desire to share your expertise through documentation, mentorship, pairing, and both written and verbal discussion.

- A desire to work with and lead individuals with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.

- High quality mindset -- write unit tests, proactively remedy defects and follow through to production.

NICE TO HAVE TRAITS FOR THIS ROLE

- Proficiency in C++

WHAT WE VALUE

In addition to our core values https://www.mapbox.com/about/values/, which are not unique to this position and are necessary for Mapbox leaders:

- We emphasize an environment of teaching and learning to equip employees with the tools needed to be successful in their function and the company.

- We strongly believe in the value of growing a diverse team and encourage people of all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, abilities, and sexual orientations to apply.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOU

- Hybrid/Remote Options: Enjoy flexibility to work comfortably from home or periodically from an office where applicable.

- Country-Specific Care & Coverage: Private health, dental, and income protection plans tailored to elevate your regional statutory benefits.

- Family-First Support: Family care, maternity and paternity leave policies to support your growing family.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
