Job Description

Mapbox provides the building blocks that enable our customers to push the boundaries of what’s possible with interactive maps and how people use location technologies in their daily lives. Whether you’re watching the delivery of your grocery order on Instacart, looking at a gym on ClassPass, sending your snaps on Snapchat, tracking your personal best on Strava, monitoring your gas budget on Metromile, or checking today’s forecast on The Weather Channel, Mapbox is the location and maps within those apps. We’re changing how people move by live-mapping the world. We are the developer platform for location.

What We Do

The Core SDK team provides internal tools that power our SDKs, and our work makes a big impact in the lives of millions of our customers and their end-users worldwide.

• Curiosity, enthusiasm, eagerness to solve challenging technical problems using emerging technologies.
• Empathy and kindness; willingness to learn from different perspectives and patience to help others grow.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with distributed teams.
• Commitment to our user privacy policyis paramount to safeguard our client-side telemetry implementation.
