Jobs at Mapbox

What Mapbox's application asks

Across the one application form Otto has filled at Mapbox: 17 distinct questions, 13 of them usually required. A single application works out at about 5 minutes once you have your details to hand. It runs on Ashby.

8 are Mapbox’s own, not boxes every form has:

• please briefly describe your current situation.
• self describe - i prefer to use the following pronouns:
• github username
• check yes or no to indicate your agreement to receive text message updates from mapbox, inc. regarding your…
• do you require (now or in the future) visa sponsorship or transfer?
• have you been employed by mapbox previously?
• preferred pronouns
• i have read mapbox privacy policy and consent to the processing and transfer of my personal data for…

Read off the forms themselves, last checked 2026-09-19, because Otto fills them in and has to read them first. Roles differ, so the estimate is per application rather than for the list above: each question counts for its cost times how often this employer actually requires it. A written answer is 2½ minutes, a dropdown 12 seconds, a yes/no 5 seconds, attaching a file 45 seconds. The list leaves out name-and-email boxes and anything Ashby puts on every employer’s form.
