Ride with GPS | Senior Backend Engineer for our Mapping Team | Portland or Remote USA | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about
We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow riders to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of their choosing. Come join us in taking Ride with GPS to the next level! We have one opening right now:
- Mapping Engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/mapping_engineer - Build and maintain high performance map related tools, and work with our extensive geospatial data to identify the best areas to ride. Visualize all of our rides with high performance heatmapping code: https://ridewithgps.com/heatmap. Use our rider data to identify the popularity of roads in OSM, and use that as an influence to the route solving engine, enabling popularity based routing. We are doubling down and expanding the tooling we use to identify the best places to ride, and to help people discover them. We are language agnostic, and focus on picking the right one for the job. These include Ruby, Python, Java, and Rust. This is a small, pragmatic, high impact but low overhead team focused on expanding the boundaries of what we can do with mapping data.
