See you at the Lesbians Who Tech Summit
By: Erin Quinn
We’ve been counting down the days for the 5th annual Lesbians Who Tech Summit in SF, and we can’t wait to see everyone!
Our own Lo Bénichou and Casey Miller will be rocking the stage on Friday at 2:50 pm at San Francisco Badlands with a co-authored talk:
Journalism Beyond the Newsroom
Modern journalists have a very versatile skill set. From coding to data wrangling, these talents are not just applicable to journalism. They can make tech better. That’s why journalists can and should work across industries to tell impactful stories. Lo Bénichou and Casey Miller have made the move over from WIRED and Vox to work at Mapbox and have created their own team called the Narratives Desk. There, they tell stories and build data viz using Mapbox tools. In this talk, we will show you why journalists should branch out and work in non-journalism jobs. We are needed everywhere. Especially now.
We’re hiring for over 60 open positions in San Francisco, Washington DC, and our satellite offices around the world. Check out our values, and if you want to learn more about life at Mapbox, we’ll have folks tabling at the career fair from Search, Platform, and Design teams as well as Customer Success, Growth, and Product Marketing.
Here are a few roles Brie and Beatrice will be running 15-minute lightning interviews for:
- C++ Builds and Performance Engineer: Core tech, data processing, vector tile encoding
- Accounts API Engineer: Own the API layer of user management, authentication, and billing
- Unity Engineer, Tools: Build out the Maps SDK for Unity for creating 3D and AR experiences
- Android Engineer, Maps: Create the future of our Android SDKs
