Job description

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 4 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

Whether you’re ordering on DoorDash, navigating in a BMW, checking the forecast on The Weather Channel, or sending snaps on Snapchat, Mapbox powers the location experiences within the apps and products people use every day. As the developer platform for live location, we’re evolving how people interact with maps and location data, including bringing AI-powered capabilities into our products to create smarter, more dynamic experiences.

The Maps team builds services that reach approximately 750 million monthly active users, collecting ~318 million miles of location and navigation data per day. We help developers create and share maps that reflect the complexity of our ever-changing world and see exciting opportunities leveraging AI to make maps more intelligent, accessible, and powerful.

What You'll Do

As a Product Manager II on the Maps team, you will own how AI shows up in Mapbox Maps: the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of AI-powered capabilities across the Maps (Web, iOS, Android), from natural-language map interaction to AI-assisted styling and contextual map intelligence.
