Software Development Engineer II, Incidents

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

We build the mission-critical engine that powers real-time navigation for Mapbox's largest global customers. We process petabytes of geospatial data through a sophisticated blend of high-scale backend services, data pipelines, and AI Agentic workflows to detect, validate, and deliver live road updates - from traffic jams to road closures. The intelligent AI agents we build enhance our core algorithms, ensuring Mapbox maps are as dynamic as the roads themselves and that millions of drivers reach their destinations in the most optimal way possible.

Engineers on this team develop and deliver of every stage of the incident lifecycle:

Intelligent Ingestion and Detection: Build automated AI agents to gather data and discover closures using proprietary Mapbox signals.

Validation and Conflation: Leverage algorithms to invalidate stale data and merge duplicate reports into a single, high-fidelity source of truth.

Strategic Delivery: Design the systems that expose this data across the entire Mapbox ecosystem.

AI Collaboration: Partner with the MapGPT team to evolve our Feedback Agent, allowing us to refine the map using real-time customer insights.

As AI becomes embedded in modern engineering workflows, we value engineers who can thoughtfully integrate AI into design, development, and decision-making. Our interview process will include discussion of how you use AI in your engineering workflow.
