Senior Software Engineer, Navigation 

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

Navigation serves customers with use cases ranging from turn-by-turn navigation in electric vehicles to delivery route planning for fleets of thousands of trucks. Our services are often at the heart of the operations of our customers’ businesses. We get users from point A to point B effectively and on time, whether it’s delivering meals, servicing medical equipment, or commuting to work.

 

Navigation Services include our core routing engine, API services, mobile SDKs, and driver application. Our routing engine is built using C++ for performance and flexibility, with the same core engine powering our server-side APIs as well as our mobile SDK for on-device offline routing. We leverage Node JS and AWS ECS-driven API and data processing services for generating our routing data. Development on our APIs often requires working at multiple levels of the stack: from the native C++ level, to the API and infrastructure level. Members of our Navigation team become deeply familiar with routing data structures and how real-world constructs are represented in map data structures: from GPS traces and location data to metadata for highway exits, one way signs, truck weights and bridge heights.

 

Our products power experiences and operations for customers like DPD, Porsche, Doordash and Instacart.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Navigation Engineer you will be responsible for designing, developing and operating significant areas of our API routing service. You will improve our core route planning algorithms, guidance, live-traffic integration. Run and design experiments to evaluate the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of our routing products. Design and operate production API services in the cloud, at scale. Collaborate closely with technical teams, end-customers & product owners across Mapbox to influence future product direction. 

 

 

What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role

  • Strong history in the design and development of high-availability, low-latency web services deployed in modern cloud scale services environments (Preference for Multi-Tenant, containerized cloud infrastructure)
  • Preference for modern C++ and Linux application development or equivalent high performance systems development experience
  • Experience productizing route-planning algorithms (Dijkstra / bi-directional / A* search) or similar approaches related to applied Graph Theory and/or Combinatorial Optimization


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.
  • We emphasize an environment of teaching and learning to equip employees with the tools needed to be successful in their function and the company.
  • We strongly believe in the value of growing a diverse team and encourage people of all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, abilities, and sexual orientations to apply.
