Who you are and what you’ll do

You love distributed systems architecture, working with the newest technology to solve complicated problems, and want to help us scale to the next 10x. You care about quality and have high standards for what gets delivered to our customers. You want to blanket your code in high quality automated tests.

The Core Services team, part of Platform, owns or helps develop many of the back end services the other developers at Mappedin rely on. You can expect to do a lot of high-leverage work, as the improvements you implement will unlock capabilities for other parts of the dev team, and ultimately deliver a lot of value to Mappedin customers.

You are highly interested in learning about or already have experience in:

• TypeScript, Node, and Jest
• SQL and NoSQL databases, like Postgres and MongoDB
• Test Driven Development
• Rust

What are some challenges?

We move fast and pivot as needed. We operate with experimental mindsets and are constantly pushing the boundaries of our industry. Because of this, we can’t guarantee exactly what you’ll be working on three months from now but we can guarantee that you will be working on high value projects that will foster your growth along with Mappedin’s. One of our core values is playing for the team. This means that we’re constantly balancing our own goals with the needs of the organization and jump in to help others whenever needed.

We follow the Test Driven Development methodology to write code that is testable, tested, and only does what it needs to do. We don’t 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’s not a requirement for this role, but if you enjoy solving interesting geometry problems, we’d 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’re 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.

Mappedin is a remote first company, but also offer the ability to collaborate in person at our Waterloo and Toronto offices. We have a flexible vacation policy and ensure you have the equipment required to unleash your potential. We will do what it takes to get things done and hold each other accountable. We stay curious, take risks, and learn from mistakes. We’re competitive and we like to win together.

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