Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere.

Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers.
This team is responsible for identity and access management of our customers, authentication of all the requests that hit our Mapbox APIs as well as anti-fraud & abuse functionalities of Mapbox.

We work across the stack to expose the services that we build via well-designed and intuitive interfaces.
The team’s scope of work serves a diverse range of stakeholders. Our public APIs help Mapbox users manage and understand their accounts, and our private APIs lay a critical foundation for our internal service teams.
