What are some challenges?

Mappedin moves fast and we sometimes change directions. We can\xe2\x80\x99t always wait for all the information before we try something. If you want us to guarantee exactly what you\xe2\x80\x99ll be working on three months from now, we can\xe2\x80\x99t give you that. On the other hand, there is a lot of high value work to do, and it won\xe2\x80\x99t be boring.

Mappedin follows the Test Driven Development methodology to write code that is testable, tested, and only does what it needs to do. We don\xe2\x80\x99t expect you to be an expert in TDD when you start, but we do expect you to become one. You also own the quality of your own work, and we expect you to prove that with your own integration and end-to-end tests.

There is a lot of discovery work involved as we frequently do things that are ahead of current technology. We also encounter tough problems that require a lot of math. It\xe2\x80\x99s not a requirement for this role, but if you enjoy solving interesting geometry problems, we\xe2\x80\x99d love to have your input.

Behind the scenes

We run an agile development process designed to give our developers as much uninterrupted development time as possible. Most days the only meeting you\xe2\x80\x99re looking at is the morning standup.

We use a variety of technology and tools that currently include TypeScript, React, Jest, Three.js, Webpack, Node.js, Postgres, Kafka, MongoDB, and Docker.

There\xe2\x80\x99s a lot of trust here at Mappedin. We are a REMOTE company. If you\xe2\x80\x99re local, there will probably be a few days a week when you can expect other people to be in the office, but this role could also be fully remote. We work flexible hours, have a flexible vacation policy and work to provide the hardware or office equipment you require to unleash your potential. We will do what it takes to get things done if we said we would do it. We stay curious, challenge opinions, take risks, and learn from mistakes. We\xe2\x80\x99re competitive and we like to win together. We want you to join us.

Mappedin welcomes applications from people with disabilities. We provide reasonable accommodations for candidates upon request through the recruitment process.
