Mapbox is the leading real-time location platform for a new generation of location-aware businesses. Mapbox is the only platform that equips organizations with the full set of tools to power the navigation of people, packages, and vehicles everywhere. More than 4 million registered developers have chosen Mapbox because of the platform’s flexibility, security and privacy compliance. Organizations use Mapbox applications, data, SDKs and APIs to create customized and immersive experiences that delight their customers.
We work at the core of a Navigation SDK product serving customers with use cases ranging from turn-by-turn navigation to delivery route planning for fleets of thousands of trucks. We get users from point A to point B effectively matching them on roads as accurately as possible. Members of our Navigation team become deeply familiar with routing and map-matching data structures and algorithms. Our navigation engine is built using C++ for performance and flexibility, with the same core engine powering our server-side APIs. It is a crucial part of our positioning service which allows turning GPS signals and additional available data into position on a road graph. Poor signals, a wide range of devices, urban areas and clouds can get in the way of users who expect us to position them quickly and accurately.
Our products power experiences and operations for customers like BMW, Rivian, GM, Toyota, Doordash and Instacart, etc.

Leadership Experience: With several years of leadership experience, you've successfully managed technical teams, driving product execution and business outcomes.
Technical Expertise: You have a strong background in creating native applications with proficiency in C++.
