  • Promote a culture of operational excellence by meticulously testing and monitoring our systems and code, writing documentation, and being on-call to support the health of our services

  • Reduce technical debt, share your knowledge, and invest in your teammates’ health and happiness, while optimizing application performance and accelerating feature velocity

  • Uphold a culture of collaboration, transparency, creativity, inclusion, and data-driven decisions

What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role

  • 5+ years of experience building scalable high volume low latency backend services

  • Proficiency in our tech stack — Python, TypeScript (backend), AWS (CDK/ECS/Step Functions/Lambda/S3)

  • Familiarity with code versioning tools, such as GitHub

  • Ability to engage, learn and contribute quickly to the initiatives

  • Able to perform independently all the development tasks, based on designs and specs.

  • Self-starter who is communication and outcomes-oriented

  • An empirical analytical approach. You develop strong hypotheses, conduct spikes, and clearly communicate your findings

  • A desire to share your expertise through documentation, mentorship, pairing and both written and verbal discussion

  • A desire to work with individuals with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences

  • High quality mindset -- write unit tests, proactively remedy defects and follow through to production

Nice to Have Traits for This Role

  • Experience and knowledge within the navigation domain

  • Experience with Amazon RDS

  • Experience with SQL

  • Experience with various security standards and associated technical knowledge

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.

Our annual base compensation for this role ranges from $157,675 - $213,325 for most US locations and 5% to 10% higher for US locations with a higher cost of labor. Job level and actual compensation will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process (including skills and prior relevant experience, potential impact, and scope of role), market demands, and specific work location. Please discuss your specific work location with your recruiter for more information.
