Engineering Manager, Navigation Native

2 weeks ago


Helsinki, Uusimaa, Finland Mapbox Full time

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 3.5 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.

What We Do

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.

What You'll Do

We're looking for an Engineering Manager who is passionate about developing and enhancing core components for our current and future implementations of the navigation ecosystem here at Mapbox. In this role, you will:

  • Mentor and Develop Talent: Inspire and support engineers, fostering their career growth and development.

  • Promote Collaboration and Innovation: Cultivate a culture of collaboration, inclusion, and data-driven decision-making.

  • Drive Strategic Objectives: Lead the team in achieving company, product, and team goals, ensuring alignment and cohesion.

  • Define Product Roadmaps: Partner with Product and Engineering Teams to establish the roadmap for Maps products.

  • Shape the Vision: Help envision the evolution of our rendering engines and contribute to business and product planning.

What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role
  • 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++.

  • Talent Acquisition and Development: You excel at hiring top talent and creating an environment where team members can thrive and grow.

  • High Standards and Quality: You uphold a culture of quality, balancing the demands of quality and velocity.

  • Operational Excellence: You embody and promote a passion for monitoring, metrics, triage, customer issue resolution, and continuous improvement.

  • Ownership and Execution: You own the vision, lead the strategy, and guide your team in building the future of our Navigation.

  • Customer Focus: You are deeply committed to understanding and solving customer problems.

Nice to Have
  • Knowledge of basic localization and navigations concepts (bearing, dead reckoning, electronic horizon etc.).

  • Experience working with IMU and OBD II data.

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.

By applying for this position, you acknowledge that you have received the Mapbox Non-US Privacy Notice for applicants, which is linked here. Completing this application requires you to provide personal data, such as your name and contact information, which is mandatory for Mapbox to process your application.

We are committed to a fair and equitable hiring process. We do not discriminate against any protected class.
