[Hiring] Software Development Engineer II @Mapbox

Role Description

The team is developing 3D Live Navigation, an advanced navigation system that enhances traditional maps by integrating high-resolution 3D lane models, real-time sensor data, environmental models, and dynamic lighting conditions. We are leveraging feedback from millions of vehicles and aerial imagery to create a detailed and immersive 3D navigation experience. Additionally, we are working on integration with in-vehicle sensors and ADAS to provide precise lane-level guidance, hazard warnings, and improved situational awareness, helping drivers navigate complex roads more safely and efficiently.

What You'll Do:

• Develop real-time visualization of ADAS sensor data and HD lane-level navigation for Mapbox Navigation SDK, including implementation of simulation tools for testing various driving scenarios and sensor data playback.
• Assess minimum requirements for our automotive solutions and align them with reference platforms.
• Write clean, fast C++ code to integrate various data inputs required for our automotive navigation system product offerings, or provide custom-tailored solutions as needed.
• Implement and collaborate on new rendering and navigation features.
• Own full-stack development from data to navigation experience across various platforms and stacks.
• Fine-tune the automotive navigation experience through profiling and debugging techniques to extract the best performance from customer platforms.
• Work with technical counterparts at customers and partners to discover requirements, provide implementation recommendations, and debug integrations.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure best practices for cross-platform API design and performance tuning for specific hardware and software combinations.
• Improve the product’s performance, stability, maintainability, and simplicity.

Qualifications

• Broad experience in software development, customer engagements, and automotive compliance standards.
• Strong technical expertise (6+ years) in modern and embedded C++.
• Proficient in rendering with a strong foundation in algorithms and performance optimization.
• Strong understanding of various ADAS features (ACC, LKA, etc.) and their corresponding visual representation in displays/HMI systems.
• Skilled in sensor fusion and various filtering techniques.
• Experienced with build systems like CMake and Gradle, and developing frameworks/developer tools.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of working effectively with distributed teams, customers, and partners (Fluent in English).

Requirements

• Automotive operating systems: AGL, AOSP, Android Automotive, QNX.
• Automotive CAN bus experience.
• HD mapping domain knowledge (lane level geometry, road topology, map data formats).
• Orchestration: Yocto, Docker.
• Cross-platform UI toolkits like Qt or Flutter.
• Experience in Kotlin, Shell Script, JavaScript, Python.

Benefits

• Hybrid/Remote Options: Enjoy flexibility to work comfortably from home or periodically from an office where applicable.
• Country-Specific Care & Coverage: Private health, dental, and income protection plans tailored to elevate your regional statutory benefits.
• Family-First Support: Family care, maternity and paternity leave policies to support your growing family.
• Lifestyle Spending Account: Contributions to support your health, wellness, and personal growth.
• Balance & Brainpower: Mental health support for you and your dependents.
• Rest & Recharge: Paid time away, company holidays, and generous absence policies.
• Time Off to Give Back: Dedicated paid volunteering time in addition to your standard PTO.

Employment Requirements

• Employment Type: Full-time
• Weekly Hours: 40 h per week
