      What You'll Do

      You will join our team to accelerate feature development of our compute platform and assist teams in migrating from container instances to Fargate. In this role, you can expect to:

      • Work on the infrastructure that powers our major Maps, Navigation and Search API services which handle billions of requests per hour
      • Promote a culture of operational excellence by being on call and meticulously testing and monitoring all changes you and the team make to our systems
      • Support internal customers by not only shipping features to our products that address their needs but also working across teams to advise on optimal implementations
      • Document your work and decision-making processes with excellent context on tickets, detailed explanations on code changes, and by leading presentations and discussions in a way that ensures knowledge is shared transparently with other engineers

      What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role

      • Located in the Eastern Standard Time zone of the US
      • 4+ years of engineering experience
      • Proven ability to design and develop sophisticated, efficient, and durable infrastructure on AWS
      • Proficiency in our tech stack — Node.js, Docker, and AWS (ECS, EC2, Fargate, CDN, CloudFormation, CloudFront, and Networking)
      • Experience with API services at scale
      • Track record of building self-service and high-quality tools for developers with a customer-driven mindset
      • A desire to share your expertise through documentation, mentorship, and both written and vocal discussion
      • A desire to work with individuals with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences
      • Autonomy and proactivity around driving work to completion in the face of ambiguity
      • Experience with Kubernetes is a plus
      • AWS certification is a plus

      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 $143,225 to $193,775 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.
