Software Development Engineer, Mapbox

Its more flexible and less costly service is winning it a real edge - and some major Google clients, like Foursquare, who defected in 2012. Its service Mapbox Dash uses the increasingly popular what3words service to offer highly accurate dashboard navigation. Mapbox Dash has already been integrated into General Motors vehicles as Maps+, indicating significant industry support for Mapbox’s software - and a strong strategic eye for new ways of embedding itself into lucrative markets.

Such a promising performance helped Mapbox reach Unicorn status, and more recently secure a strategic partnership with Toyota Motor Europe to provide its maps and location platform in a number of its car models. Paired with its work in digital twinning with Snowflake and recent partnerships with Michelin Mobility, it's clear that Mapbox is doing exciting and important work on a service that has promising, multi-industry applications in a market expected to reach $33.18 billion by 2027.
