Software Developer - Team Lead

Who we are and what we do

Mappedin powers search and discovery indoors. Our software platform provides industry leading tools for property owners and operators to manage their dynamic indoor information and build digital wayfinding experiences into their customer-facing applications.

Founded in 2011, Mappedin is headquartered in Waterloo, Canada. We work with clients in all industries around the world to help manage over 600M square feet of indoor space. In the last year, the Mappedin platform served over 140 million directions to people navigating the indoors.

Who you are and what you'll do

You will lead a small team of developers primarily working on Mappedin’s pre-built web applications (like our Digital Directory). As the team lead this means you will:

• Spend 70-80% of your time using test driven development to build new features and fix bugs
• Grow, mentor and support your direct reports
• Work with Product to agree on feature and timelines for your team
• Deliver what your team promises

You already have or are interested in obtaining experience in:

• Front End Application Development using React
• Back End Service Development using Node
• Test Driven Development
• Growing and leading a small team

What are some challenges?

Mappedin moves fast and we sometimes change directions. If you want us to guarantee exactly what you’ll be working on three months from now, we can’t give you that. On the other hand, there is a lot of high value work to do, and it won’t be boring.

Mappedin follows the Test Driven Development methodology to write code that is testable, supported by unit tests, 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, and to continue to reinforce the Test Driven Development approach on your team.

Behind the scenes

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

We recognize developers are most effective when they’re allowed to get into the zone; therefore, we run an agile development process designed to give our developers as much uninterrupted development time as possible. As a team lead, part of your responsibility will be to take some of those interruptions to protect the flow of your reports.

There’s a lot of trust here at Mappedin. We offer a flexible working environment, and we all work together to help you produce your best work. We stay curious, challenge opinions, take risks, and learn from mistakes. We’re competitive and we like to win together.
