As you know, Mapify is a company that is characterized by its ever-evolving energy and fast pace. We analyze, we create, we grow, we change, we learn, we make, we develop. For those explorers of you out there, who not only have experience traveling but also bring a combination of skills surrounding product, sales, marketing, human relations, research or management, this is YOUR spot to be!

Do you want to be part of the Mapify team?

Our vision at Mapify is to “enable the world to experience the world”.

Does that move something inside of you? Do you feel the intrinsic urge to make this a reality and to help us revolutionize the way people travel the world? Well, that probably means that you should head straight to our career page and find out which of the positions that are open right now suits you the best. We would love to have you onboard and work on our vision together! :)

To get a better understanding of the people that made this company possible and the people that are working hard every day to make Mapify better and better, we jumped on a quick interview with Co-Founder Tobi Schnorpfeil, who apart from managing a varied amount of creative, administrative and other company related projects, is also the person responsible for hiring new faces at Mapify.

On an interview with Tobi Schnorpfeil, Co-Founder.

Hi Tobi! First of all: please explain a bit about who you are, what you do at Mapify and briefly introduce the story of how this company was built and by whom.

Sure, thanks for having me. I’m Tobi, Co-Founder at Mapify and I’m responsible for all people, culture and creative topics.

From early on at Mapify, we knew exactly this was going to be a people product. We started by building a social travel network created by young and dynamic people from Germany, which was used and powered by a global community of travelers sharing their most amazing travel adventures. All of this has been made possible by an excellent team of hardworking individuals that not only have diverse backgrounds but also bring highly diverse skill sets and interests.

For those people who might not be familiar with the workspace at Mapify but are highly interested in joining a travel Startup, how would you describe the atmosphere in our Berlin office?

Every day is a new adventure, that’s for sure! As a startup, we are a dynamic and innovative company. This means that not only the team grows quickly but also the daily challenges change frequently. To some, this might seem intimidating, but tempting to others. These ‘others’ are the ones who have the Mapify spirit inside of them and take on these challenges to proof that we are capable of achieving greatness. As a result of this, we have a very active atmosphere in our Berlin office that not only gets the best out of you but also teaches you more than you can imagine.

Mapify will push you to your best performance!

What job offers are open at the moment, and how do these positions integrate into the bigger picture of the company and our current projects?

Make sure to always be checking our career page — we update it regularly and love to read all your applications. As for now, we are currently looking for people in different departments to help us pursue the Mapify vision. From creative people for our product and marketing teams, to top-notch salespersons for our trip sales team… it doesn’t matter what position you will take on or which team you will support, you will always have a direct impact on the success of Mapify!

What do you think are the 3 main characteristics that people need to bring with them to easily adapt to the pace of Mapify?

Well, I’d definitely say you need to be communicative, open-minded and ambitious!

In your opinion, what is the best thing about working at Mapify? Are there any other perks or company events that they might enjoy as well?

This question is simple: the team! It’s such a great and motivating experience to be working side-by-side with talented and ambitious people, who always push you to perform your best and believe in you. In my opinion, we have really mastered the art of balancing our ‘focus’ time with our ‘fun’ time- which is something crucial for a young startup like us. Everybody knows: when we need to hustle, we hustle; but when we have achieved a long pursued goal, we celebrate!

Besides that, we also like to have our team rituals. From our weekly team breakfast and daily stand-up’s, to our monthly team events and annual team trips — we try our best to have our work culture as good as possible. That’s why we don’t just bond as team members in a professional manner, but we actually consider ourselves part of the same family. We are colleagues, but most importantly: we are friends!

“We are colleagues, but most importantly: we are friends!”

Anything else you would like to share with our interested candidates?

I’m grateful every day to be surrounded by excellent people that believe in Mapify’s vision and identify with our values. We are excited to welcome new people to the team, who are ready to take on probably the biggest, but also the most rewarding challenge of their life!

Thank you Tobi for your time and these amazing insights!
