    Description
    About Foursquare


    Foursquare is the leading independent location technology and data cloud platform, dedicated to building meaningful bridges between digital spaces and physical places.

    Our proprietary technology unlocks the most accurate, trustworthy location data in the world, empowering businesses to answer key questions, uncover hidden insights, improve customer experiences, and achieve better business outcomes.

    A pioneer of the geo-location space, Foursquare's location tech stack is being utilized by our mobile apps CityGuide and Swarm, as well as the world's largest enterprises and most recognizable brands, like Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung, Spotify, Uber, Airbnb and others.


    Foursquare's flexible building blocks include technology to maximize marketing impact and drive incremental real-world engagement (Attribution, Audience, Proximity, SDK); data to deeply understand points of interest and real-world behavior patterns (Places and Visits), and tools to conduct advanced analysis, data enrichment, unification and visualization (Studio).

    About The Position

    Foursquare is looking for a Software Engineer to join our Developer Experience team


    The Developer Experience team authors and operates the tooling which enables our technical staff of programmers and data scientists to write high-capability software and get it deployed quickly and correctly.

    Our team makes the hard things easy, so that our customers – Foursquare's technical staff – can remain singularly focused on driving value for the products which the company sells.

    In this role, you will ship libraries and services with high visibility and of strategic importance to Foursquare. You will operate the software systems, especially build servers and workflow orchestration systems, which provide these capabilities. You'll listen to our users and review structured summaries of their experiences to identify and close feature gaps.

    Finally, you'll maximize our users' ability to solve their own problems and ship new projects independently, by documenting, demonstrating, and promoting the "paved path" we maintain.

    In this role, you'll

    Write the software libraries that constitute the "paved path" for our programmers and data scientists, and document their capabilities and limitations
    Influence key decisions on architecture and implementation of code repositories and shared services
    Ensure that software builds and deployments are fast, reliable, and observable, by relentlessly optimizing the automation which drives the build process
    Enable the adoption of new tooling and infrastructure by minimizing the effort to do so by our technical staff – ideally to a situation where no action is required but they get all the benefits anyway
    Write automation, conduct code reviews, and take end-to-end ownership of deployments to production
    Participate in on-call rotation duties

    What You'll Need

    BS/BA in a technical field such as computer science or equivalent experience
    2-4 years of experience in software development, including operational responsibilities for the production environment
    Professional experience in a JVM programming language such as Java or Scala
    Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to specify the capabilities and limitations of the services we manage
    Strong algorithms and data structures knowledge
    Comfort with Unix/Linux and the command line
    Your own unique talents If you don't meet 100% of the qualifications outlined above, we encourage and welcome you to still apply

    Benefits And Perks

    Fully Flexible Workplace - work from home, one of our offices or a combination of the two
    Flexible PTO - rest and recharge when you need it
    Industry Leading Healthcare - comprehensive and competitive health, vision, dental, life insurance
    Savings and Investments - 401(k) with company match
    Home Office Setup - you get all necessary hardware and internet reimbursement
    Family Planning and Fertility Programs - programs via Carrot and Maven
    Employee Resource Groups - to help you stay connected


    At Foursquare, we are committed to providing competitive pay and benefits that are in line with industry and market standards.


    Actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate including but not limited to skill set, years & depth of experience, and specific office location.


    The annual total cash compensation range is $104,000 - $175,750, however actual salaries can vary based on a candidate's qualifications, skills and competencies, as well as location.

    Salary is just one component of Foursquare's total compensation package, which includes restricted stock units, multiple health insurance options, and a wide range of benefits

    Things to know...

    Foursquare is proud to foster an inclusive environment that is free from discrimination. We strongly believe in order to build the best products, we need a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds. This leads to a more delightful experience for our users and team members.

    We value listening to every voice and we encourage everyone to come be a part of building a company and products we love.
