Job Description

Maps are no longer static. Our maps represent the ever-evolving world, accessing, aggregating, and adapting anonymous data from millions of sensors and phones in real-time. Mapbox has the exciting opportunity to power devices and products across the next frontier in location-based data, such as Internet of Things and AR/VR.

Whether you're watching the delivery of your grocery order on Instacart, looking at a gym on ClassPass, sending 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 mapping the world in real-time. We are the developer platform for location.

What We Do

The Map Design team is a small, versatile group of software engineers, product designers, and cartographic map designers who are obsessed with finding systematic solutions to hard problems, and, in the process, inventing the future of how people interact with location. Our work drives the maps that millions of users interact with every day in apps like Snapchat, Facebook, and Weather.com.

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to join our team and work collaboratively with other teams in the Maps organization to solve complex problems across the technical stack.

* Develop the long-term business strategy driving the team's work

* Manage SRE responsibilities for on-call and related responsibilities

What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role

* Proven ability to lead sophisticated customer-facing web-based or mobile applications for a global business where design and ease-of-use are fundamental to the success of the business
* Experience with designing and delivering products, both for front-end applications and APIs
* Clear and persuasive communication of complex information to a broad audience, and a commitment to fostering and growing cross-team relationships
* Previous experience building and leading a high-performing team that delivered high-impact and high-value work
* Be able to ramp up quickly and operate independently
* Experience facilitating work in ways that counteract unconscious bias
* Commitment to recruiting a diverse engineering and design team

What We Value

In addition to our core values, which are not unique to this position and are necessary for Mapbox leaders:

* We value high performing, creative individuals who dig into problems and opportunities.
* We believe in individuals being their whole selves at work. We commit to this through supportive health care, parental leave, flexibility for the things that come up in life, and innovating on how we think about supporting our people.
