Principal Mobile SDK Engineer
About the company
Our client is building a maps and location intelligence platform, running on their own routing, search, tile, and optimization engines, with worldwide map data and live traffic across more than 80 countries. Every public API and SDK they ship sits under Atlas.
They are now building the mobile layer, the SDK that puts maps, search, routing, and turn-by-turn navigation inside the applications the customers build.
About the role
The groundwork is done and the direction is set; they are now moving from an internal build to a commercial product that external developers integrate and depend on. That step is the one that separates a working prototype from an SDK, and it calls for someone who has made it before. This is engine work rather than application work, so the public interface, its behavior on real devices, and the quality of the documentation are the product rather than a wrapper around it. You will own the architecture end to end, work alongside the routing, search and tile teams behind it, and report directly to the Founder and CEO. As the SDK matures you will grow the mobile team around it and lead it.
What you will own
▪ SDK architecture. A unified design that keeps the underlying mapping and rendering layer private and replaceable.
▪ Core navigation logic. Turn-by-turn guidance, route snapping, off-route detection, re
