Software Developer - Front End (Product and Platform)
Mappedin
Who we are and what we do
Founded in 2011, Mappedin provides indoor maps for world-class venues, enabling consumers to find what they’re looking for with speed and ease.
Our technology powers over 600M square feet of indoor space across more than 700 venues in more than 30 different countries.
Mappedin’s Product and Platform team is a group of developers responsible for Mappedin’s core products used by tens of millions of people: Our Pre-Built Mapping Applications, Developer Tools, and Indoor Mapping Software.
Who you are and what you’ll do
You’re a developer that wants to build great web applications with React used by millions of people and aren’t put off by the opportunity to write Node.js backend code from time to time. What you really care about is clean code that works, covered with high quality automated tests.
Your team is responsible for both maintaining Mappedin’s current Indoor Mapping Software as well as building our next generation Editor product. That means you should already have or are interested in obtaining experience in:
- Front End Application Development using React
- TypeScript
- Test Driven Development
- Map rendering frameworks such as deck.gl, Leaflet, or MapBox GL JS
What are some challenges?
Mappedin moves fast and we sometimes change directions. We can’t always wait for all the information before we try something. If you want us to guarantee exactly what you’ll be working on three months from now, we can’t give you that. On the other hand, there is a lot of high value work to do, and it won’t be boring.
Mappedin follows the Test Driven Development methodology to write code that is testable, tested, and only does what it needs to do. We don’t expect you to be an expert in TDD when you start, but we do expect you to become one. You also own the quality of your own work, and we expect you to prove that with your own integration and end to end tests.
There is a lot of discovery work involved as we frequently do things that are ahead of current technology. We also encounter tough problems that require a lot of math. It’s not a requirement for this role, but if you enjoy solving interesting geometry problems, we’d love to have your input.
Behind the scenes
We run an agile development process designed to give our developers as much uninterrupted development time as possible. Most days the only meeting you’re looking at is the morning standup.
We use a variety of technology and tools that currently include TypeScript, React, Jest, Three.js, Webpack, Node.js, Postgres, Kafka, MongoDB, and Docker.
There’s a lot of trust here at Mappedin. We offer a flexible working environment, have a generous vacation policy, and we all work together to help you produce your best work. We stay curious, challenge opinions, take risks, and learn from mistakes. We’re competitive and we like to win together. We want you to join us.
