<h2>Small team creating BIG things</h2><p>You can hardly find a team with more diverse personalities. Some of us are introverts who love numbers, reading, or getting lost for a week in the mountains with a camera, while others are extroverts brimming with imagination and creativity, coming up with new ideas, and doing best when on stage with as many listeners as possible.</p><p>Each of us is different, but we have one thing in common - a passion for maps and loving what we do. Together, we make beautiful maps viewed by more than 250 million people every month. Our clients are individual developers and small businesses, as well as giants like IBM, NASA, or Siemens.</p><blockquote><p>“Our mission is to innovate in the field of digital maps and make maps accessible to as many people as possible for everyday use. We are always looking to push the boundaries of cartography a bit further.” <a href="/team/petr-pridal/">Petr Pridal</a>, CEO.</p></blockquote><p>In MapTiler, we encourage our people to focus on what they do best. Thanks to our diverse personalities and strengths, our team members complement each other perfectly. We motivate and support each other on a daily basis, and make sure that every call for support is listened to.</p><h2>Being a part of cartography innovation</h2><p>We pride ourselves on thinking outside the box and coming up with new creative ideas on how to disrupt the cartography business. The ultimate goal is always to improve customer experience, and it’s a great feeling to know that our maps are positively impacting the lives of millions of people every month. We were truly honored to be awarded for innovation in the cutting-edge vector tile technology by the European Space Agency and the Swiss Society of Cartography.</p><p><i>“For me personally, a great benefit is the feeling of contributing to something growing, dynamic, and disrupting the status quo”</i>, says <a href="/team/luis-suter/">Luis Suter</a>, Contract Team Leader at MapTiler.<img src="https://media.maptiler.com/img/2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_2_f000e93dce.jpg" alt="2021-05-26-benefits-of-working-for-maptiler-2.jpg" srcset="https://media.maptiler.com/img/thumbnail_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_2_f000e93dce.jpg 245w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/small_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_2_f000e93dce.jpg 500w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/medium_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_2_f000e93dce.jpg 750w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/large_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_2_f000e93dce.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></p><h2>Open-source community</h2><p>MapTiler loves using, supporting, and <a href="/open-source/">contributing to open-source projects</a>. We naturally use open-source for work - just like many other companies- but also support projects of our own, such as <a href="/sdk-javascript/">MapTiler SDK</a> (which is an extension to MapLibre), OpenMapTiles, EPSG.io.</p><p>These are projects that we support as a team, used worldwide. These are available as open-source and have a real impact. MapTiler supports these projects with time and financial contributions, and our team members (including CEO) also give their time to support OS projects. This truly leads all of us in MapTiler to live by one of the slogans of the company “Help others - Be keen to help each other and the world.”</p><p><i>“Developing software under a commercial license is awesome. A good product always has a response, but contributing to open-source (repair, or financing) is a slightly different feeling. It’s contributing to something bigger exceeding us.”</i> <a href="/team/tomas-pohanka/">Tom Pohanka</a>, Geodata Specialist</p><h2>The best are everywhere</h2><p>Nowadays, it would be crazy not to hire the best people just because they live far away, especially when it’s so easy to bring everyone together online. MapTiler has HQ in Switzerland and a development center in the Czech Republic, but more than half of our team lives elsewhere, spread across the whole globe! Aside from our people in the Czech Republic and Switzerland, we have team members in Slovakia, Netherlands, France, and even in Japan and Australia. At MapTiler we are always on the lookout for the best talent, regardless of where he/she lives.</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a class="btn btn-primary m-o5" href="/jobs/">SEE OPEN POSITIONS &amp; JOIN MAPTILER</a></p><p><img src="https://media.maptiler.com/img/2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_3_3ed212dd33.png" alt="2021-05-26-benefits-of-working-for-maptiler-3.png" srcset="https://media.maptiler.com/img/thumbnail_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_3_3ed212dd33.png 245w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/small_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_3_3ed212dd33.png 500w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/medium_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_3_3ed212dd33.png 750w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/large_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_3_3ed212dd33.png 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px"></p><h2>Work hard - play harder</h2><p>As much as we love working, we are well aware that quality time-off is necessary to keep the creative flow and development of innovative ideas. To make sure our remote team stays in touch, we organize regular team-building events like rock-climbing, sailing, or skiing trips, as well as coding-sprints in the Czech Republic and Swiss Alps. When we can’t meet - for example, because of a global pandemic - we organized virtual Friday hangouts or gaming evenings.<img src="https://media.maptiler.com/img/2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_4_6d578c81c7.jpg" alt="2021-05-26-benefits-of-working-for-maptiler-4.jpg" srcset="https://media.maptiler.com/img/thumbnail_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_4_6d578c81c7.jpg 245w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/small_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_4_6d578c81c7.jpg 500w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/medium_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_4_6d578c81c7.jpg 750w,https://media.maptiler.com/img/large_2021_05_26_benefits_of_working_for_maptiler_4_6d578c81c7.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw" width="1000px">Meeting up as a bunch of friends is really important! As our Contracts Team Lead, Luis Suter says, <i>“MapTiler has a truly familial feeling, even though everyone is far apart.
