At FATMAP we are building the world’s leading outdoor adventure
platform powered by the most advanced 3D mobile mapping engine on the
planet. In the past year alone, we have grown to hundreds of thousands
of users, mapped over 100 major mountain destinations and launched our
web API as the official mapping partner for the world’s biggest ski
resort – Les 3 Vallées. We are a team of 27 across Europe and the US and
we are proud to have earned 'Best Start-up' at Login.LT and
EXA/Computex Awards. Our vision is to revolutionise mapping and digital
tools for outdoor activities by harnessing the 3D graphics capabilities
of cutting-edge gaming technology. Initially targeted at the specific
needs of outdoor activities, including skiing, hiking, mountain-biking
and mountaineering, we are now looking to expand our horizons, and via a
generic mapping API address a huge range of potential business sectors
and use cases from environmental impact monitoring to humanitarian
relief operations. If you’re looking for a new opportunity and you’re a
skier / boarder / climber / runner / cyclist, you’ll feel right at home.
