About Snapp
Snapp is the pioneer provider of ride-hailing mobile solutions in Iran that connects smartphone owners in need of a ride to drivers who use their private cars to offer transportation services. We are ambitious, passionate, engaged, and excited about pushing the boundaries of the transportation industry to new frontiers and be the first choice of each user in Iran.

About the Team
On the surface, Snapp's ride-hailing technology may seem simple: a user requests a ride from the app, and a driver arrives to take them to their destination. However, behind the scenes, a robust infrastructure consisting of hundreds of services and terabytes of data supports every trip on the platform. At the heart of this infrastructure, both map data and services enable the most basic features that power our business. In our early days, we relied on third-party services like Google Maps, but these services lacked the customizations and localizations required for our business. Our map engineers are a group of individuals who directly impact the daily lives of over a million users in Iran.
