UI Designer/Developer at Foursquare in New York, NY
About foursquare:
Foursquare builds products at the intersection of mobile, local and social. Our goal? to make the real world easier to use.
We're a small but highly ambitious technology company, executing on an overflowing product roadmap faster than any startup out there. Foursquare launched in 2009, grew 3400% last year, passed a billion check-ins, and we're just getting started. We have a fast-growing community of 15+ million users that check in millions of times each day and rely on us to help them decide where to go and what to do next. We’re also helping half a million registered businesses ranging from local merchants to global brands connect with their customers. We're right in the center of a huge opportunity in a quickly-evolving market, and need your smarts to create the best service possible.
To thrive as a member of team foursquare, you must embrace our exciting work-hard, play-hard environment. We're not afraid to move fast and break things as we release, launch, iterate, update and announce -- sometimes all in the same day. We're a closely-knit team and, especially at the end of a long day over beers, we feel like we're inventing the future together.
