• Work on Mapbox's world-leading vector map rendering engines. • Cover the entire graphics chain, from data processing pipeline creation to rendering. • Write and maintain modern C++14/17 and TypeScript code using software engineering best practices. • Solve graphics programming, algorithm, and architectural challenges. • Improve performance, stability, maintainability, and simplicity of the codebase. • Experiment with new visualisation techniques and fast graphics and geometry algorithms.

We have spent time with Mapbox APIs ourselves and been genuinely impressed: the developer experience is smooth, the docs are clear, the tooling is flexible, and the product just works. That is not something you can say about every platform, and it matters when you are deciding where to work. Here, you will be building something that other developers actually enjoy using. Mapbox has pulled in more than $500 million from investors, is valued at over $1 billion, and counts 4 million+ developers and nearly 40% of the Fortune 500 among its users. Glassdoor reviews tend to repeat the same themes: smart, friendly colleagues, interesting technical challenges, competitive pay, and a remote-first culture with real work-life balance. There are offices in the US, Finland, Germany, the UK, and Japan, but most roles can be done remotely. Still, the Glassdoor rating is 3.6, so opinions are mixed. There is also some frustration around leadership style, shifting priorities, and a performance review process that can feel a bit rigid. However, if you are looking to work on technology with a global dependency and want to be proud of what you ship, Mapbox could be a great fit.

• Fully remote working. • Supportive health care and parental leave. • Flexibility for the things that come up in life. • An environment of teaching and learning to equip employees with the tools needed to succeed. • A commitment to growing a diverse and inclusive team.

Mapbox is the leading real-time location platform for a new generation of location-aware businesses, equipping organisations 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 for its flexibility, security, and privacy compliance.
