Behind the scenes
We move fast and pivot as needed. We operate with experimental mindsets and are constantly pushing the boundaries of our industry. Because of this, we can’t guarantee exactly what you’ll be working on three months from now but we can guarantee that you will be working on high value projects that will foster your growth along with Mappedin’s. One of our core values is playing for the team. This means that we’re constantly balancing our own goals with the needs of the organization and jump in to help others whenever needed

At Mappedin, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to how we work. While we have colleagues around the globe, some roles are best suited for full-time, in-person work at our home office in Waterloo. We are committed to getting things done and holding each other accountable. We stay curious, embrace risks, and learn from our mistakes. We’re competitive and enjoy winning together as a team.

We believe in being transparent about how we hire. We use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help record interviews and create notes for us to review later. Every application and interview is still reviewed by our People Operations team, and all hiring decisions are made by people - not AI.

We welcome applications from people with disabilities. We provide reasonable accommodations for candidates upon request through the recruitment process.
