What We Do
The IT team has the twin responsibilities of making the technology that every Mapboxer uses as effective and frictionless as possible while also optimizing the performance of our corporate technology stack. We do that by promoting secure, repeatable processes, supporting data wherever it lives, and delivering self-service solutions whenever possible.
Everyone at Mapbox is a customer, a stakeholder, and a partner, often all at the same time. IT has a diverse range of functions, including incident response, laptop support, office networking, audio/visual administration, SaaS application integration, new hire orientation, and end-user training.
What You'll Do
Mapbox is a global organization with offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, and our IT team provides excellent support and services for our offices worldwide. You will join the local IT team to support a high-growth employee base in the region, as well as help maintain a follow-the-sun support model with your IT colleagues in other offices and develop solutions that contribute to the high velocity of Mapbox as a whole. Reporting to the IT Manager, your primary responsibilities lie in the areas of IT and Security Operations, helping ensure the optimal health of systems and services—both on premises and in the cloud—while also assisting our employees with maintaining consistent, effective processes that optimize for usability and security.
In this role, you can expect to:
Collaborate with the rest of the IT team to manage inbound support requests and incidents, and resolve them according to our service level agreements.
Provide superior customer support in-person, in our ticketing system, and via chat. Provide the skills for our employees to effectively use our corporate tools and become IT advocates.
Support the smooth onboarding of new hires and manage the full employee IT lifecycle.
Setup, maintain, and strengthen the in-office LAN, WiFi, audio-visual, conferencing, and computing systems.
Identify trends in request tickets and help build automation and process improvements to make the system work better over time and intelligently reduce risk.
Secure configuration and access management of our operational production endpoints in AWS, GitHub, Google Cloud, G Suite, Okta, and other systems of record.
Participate in weekly sprints and IT projects, both as a contributor and as a leader. Write documentation for IT team solutions and end user knowledge.
This role is located in Washington, D.C.
What We Believe are Important Traits for This Role
Experience with our IT tools and platforms of choice, including macOS and Windows 10, Okta SAML, GitHub, Slack, Google G Suite, Jamf, Zoom, and ticket management systems such as Jira.
Experience in a multi-input, fast-paced IT support organization that prioritizes customer service, security, and innovation.
The ability to thrive as a regional operator as part of a geographically diverse team. While Mapbox deeply values team support and interaction, most forms of team communication will not be in real time.
Comfortable working in spoken and written English. Knowledge of Japanese is a plus.
A love for problem solving, and a commitment to frictionless risk reduction. You dig into the root causes of issues, think outside the box, and strive for “secure by default” whenever possible.
Experience configuring and maintaining common small office networking products.
Experience automating with scripting languages like bash. Knowledge of Node.js, or Python is a plus.
Familiarity with Agile frameworks to keep projects on track and delivered at velocity.
Our annual base compensation for this role ranges from $89,675 - $121,325 for most US locations and 5% to 10% higher for US locations with a higher cost of labor. Job level and actual compensation will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process (including skills and prior relevant experience, potential impact, and scope of role), market demands, and specific work location.
