Foursquare | Variety of Eng + Data Science Roles | Los Angeles, New York, Seattle | Onsite Post-Covid | Full-time
You may remember Foursquare from that check-in app in the early 2010's. The check-in app is still around but these days we are focused on building best-in-class data and analytics products for working with location. A few highlights include:
* Global POI dataset representing rich attributes for 100mm+ venues in the world
* Pilgrim SDK for powering location-aware mobile app development
* Unfolded Studio (recent acquisition) for stunning visualizations and fast spatial analytics in the browser
In 2020 we completed a big merger with Factual (<a href="), and recently added the excellent team from Unfolded (<a href=") to the fold (badum-tss). I've been an engineer here for 4.5 years and have gotten to work on a ton of great projects in that time. If you're interested in location and geospatial data problems at internet scale, it's a great place to be.
We're hiring for a ton of roles across all disciplines of Software Engineering and Data Science: <a href=". I'm happy to speak to anyone who's interested. If I don't know about the role you're looking for I can route you to the person who does. Email me at horace at foursquare.com.
