Who you are and what you’ll do

You’re a developer that wants to build great web applications with React used by millions of people and aren’t put off by the opportunity to write Node.js backend code from time to time. What you really care about is clean code that works, covered with high quality automated tests.

Your team is responsible for both maintaining Mappedin’s current Indoor Mapping Software as well as building our next generation Editor product. That means you should already have or are interested in obtaining experience in:

• Front End Application Development using React
• TypeScript
• Test Driven Development
• Map rendering frameworks such as deck.gl, Leaflet, or MapBox GL JS

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, Vite, Node.js, Postgres, MongoDB, and Docker.

This role follows a hybrid work model, with developers collaborating in person at our Waterloo office three days a week. While we value the flexibility of remote work, we also prioritize the benefits of face-to-face teamwork. We offer a flexible vacation policy and provide all the necessary equipment to help you excel in your role. At Mappedin, we’re driven to succeed together—we take ownership, stay curious, embrace risks, and learn from our mistakes. Our culture is competitive yet collaborative, ensuring that we celebrate wins as a team while holding each other accountable.

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