We’re looking for engineers who want to build the navigation platform
of the future. Our team maintains and improves a directions API that
applies up to the minute telemetry to an ever-changing global map. Our
system generates routes on a planet scale graph for millions of users.
We need engineers who are wary of the seemingly small issue and able to
see the bold change that will take us into the future.
You’ll be helping support the development, maintenance and growth of
the infrastructure that powers the Mapbox directions API. Our ideal
candidate is process oriented, familiar with distributed computing and
high performance http. We’re looking for an adept troubleshooter,
comfortable in node.js and bash, but not afraid of the occasional dive
into C++, Go, python, or whatever it takes to get to the root of a
problem.
We’re looking for
- Cool as a cucumber. You’ll be part of the team
that helps support our directions API 24/7/365. You should be cool and
effective under pressure, able to think and take action when things are
looking bad.
- A tenacious problem-solver. You’re not afraid to
touch legacy code and fix bugs. Conversely, you also come up with novel
solutions to new scaling problems that don’t have an apparent or obvious
answer.
- A wise coder. You recognize when situations
demand you craft new abstractions with complex interactions and when
it’s better to hold back and stick with the simple solution that can get
the job done.
- A lifelong learner. The best solutions require
continued exploration and fearless learning. You aren’t afraid to read
upstream code, explore undocumented behavior and question your own
assumptions.

Sound interesting, but not sure you tick all the boxes? Please apply - we emphasize teaching and learning at Mapbox, and there’s tons of room to grow.
