Maps do more than just get us from point A to point B. They let us know where we stand in the world, help define our communities, and highlight what is of cultural importance to us. Tasked with building the world’s best map you will use large data sets, distributed processing systems, domain expertise, and top-notch development skills to ensure a complete and accurate map. We are looking for passionate, creative software engineers motivated by challenging problems of scale that impact every Maps user.
Our team combines disparate signals such as data analytics, community engagement, and user feedback to improve the Maps Platform. Combining these signals requires a comprehensive tool chain built around data modeling, processing, visualization, debugging, and editing. On any given day, you will be proposing, implementing, evaluating, and shipping different technologies and resulting data to achieve a given task.
