In this role, you will be expected to:

  • Design and implement scalable services for our API and routing engine tiers, following best practices for deployment, resilience, and observability.

  • Participate in end-to-end feature implementation within the larger navigation team; review code and design documents, shepherd feature releases, and participate in an on-call rotation.

  • Work with product owners, sales engineering, and management to drive future products direction.

Navigation API services interact with many internal systems at Mapbox, making this a high-visibility team with great opportunities to collaborate across the Company.
