Mapbox · Japan
Join Mapbox’s EV Platform team to build and operate the global data infrastructure powering electric vehicle charging station coverage. You’ll design scalable data pipelines, ensure data quality, and support downstream products that impact millions of users worldwide. This is a high-visibility role with broad impact across the company’s ecosystem.
About the Role
Mapbox is the leading real-time location platform for a new generation of location-aware businesses. The EV Platform team powers the charging infrastructure data layer behind Mapbox’s electric vehicle products. Our services aggregate and process real-time and static EV charging station data from charge point operators around the world, making it reliable, accurate, and fresh for the automotive and mobility customers who depend on it in production. As a Senior Backend Engineer on this team, you’ll work on the data ingestion pipelines, quality assurance systems, and APIs that sit between the global CPO ecosystem and the navigation experiences our customers ship to end users. The data we produce flows downstream into many other Mapbox products and teams, including search, map data, and routing, making this a high-visibility team with broad impact across the company. You’ll be expected to design and implement scalable data pipelines and backend services, run experiments to evaluate data quality, participate in end-to-end feature implementation, and work with product owners and partner teams to drive future data platform direction. We value high-performing creative individuals who dig into problems and opportunities, and 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 strongly believe in the value of growing a diverse team and encourage people of all backgrounds, genders, ethnicities, abilities, and sexual orientations to apply.
