Product Leader - Dash

Maps are no longer static. Our maps represent the ever-evolving world, accessing, aggregating, and adapting anonymous data from millions of sensors and phones in real-time. Mapbox has the exciting opportunity to power devices and products across the next frontier in location-based data, such as Internet of Things and AR/VR.

Whether you’re watching the delivery of your grocery order on Instacart, looking at a gym on ClassPass, sending your snaps on Snap, tracking your personal best on Strava, monitoring your gas budget on Metromile, or checking today’s forecast on The Weather Channel, Mapbox is the location and maps within those apps. We’re changing how people move by live-mapping the world. We are the developer platform for location.

What We Do

Auto is undergoing a massive change towards electric and automated vehicles with a fully connected user experience. At a time where these changes are actually reaching a tipping point, Mapbox delivers realtime updating maps, a polished user experience and AI vision enabling our OEM customers to build the future of mobility.

We obsess with them about their drivers to create delightful experiences unique to their brand and we work with them to evolve in-car applications continuously throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.
