ABOUT onX

As a pioneer in digital outdoor navigation with a suite of apps, onX was founded in Montana, which in turn has inspired our mission to awaken the adventurer inside everyone. With more than 400 employees located around the country working in largely remote / hybrid roles, we have created regional “Basecamps” to help remote employees find connection and inspiration with other onXers. We bring our outdoor passion to work every day, coupling it with industry-leading technology to craft dynamic outdoor experiences.

Through multiple years of growth, we haven’t lost our entrepreneurial ethos at onX. We offer a fast-paced, growing, tech-forward environment where ownership, accountability, and passion for winning as a team are essential. We value diversity and believe it leads to different perspectives and inspires both new adventures and new growth. As a team, we’re hungry to improve, value innovation, and believe great ideas come from any direction.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

onX is seeking a talented Software Development Manager III to lead a cross-functional team of engineers and shape the future of the Map Viewer that powers our off-pavement mobile experiences. This role will be overseeing our Map Viewer team, which focuses on the full stack of technologies that power our in app map experience. This is a great opportunity to join a dynamic growth company, focused on making an impact on the business and working with multidisciplinary teams across the organization to ensure onX’s mobile properties take full advantage of our extensive off-pavement data. This position will report to the Senior Director of our Platform Engineering team.

As an onX Software Development Manager, your day to day responsibilities would look like:

• Make great engineers better. You’ll support your teammates with individual goal-setting, professional development and mentoring.
• Make great software. You’ll work with your team and/or multiple teams to ensure you’re delivering maintainable, high-quality, customer-focused products. You will lead your team in design, development, testing, deployment, and operations.
• Build great teams. You’ll work closely with your peers to hire smart, creative and kind engineers and managers. You’ll be responsible for hiring talented iOS, Android, web, and backend engineers for the team. Also will be responsible for hiring managers for the engineering organization and product organization.
• Collaborate. You’ll manage dependencies between functional teams and facilitate collaboration. This team builds key features used in all of our apps. You will make considerations to serve all of onX’s customers. You will build a strong relationship with Product, Product Design and your team’s stakeholders.

Communicating and coordinating your team’s goals will be key to successfully working with other teams and moving the company forward together.
