Foursquare

We provide geospatial technology and location intelligence, from basic building blocks to complete products. We act as a location layer for technology stacks, helping businesses, marketers, data analysts, and developers with location challenges and insights.

For marketers, we offer Attribution, Audience, and Proximity products to help them target audiences, improve campaigns, and measure real-world results like store visits and sales. Data analysts use Studio and Places for over 100 million high-quality points of interest and tools to analyze and visualize geospatial data. Developers use our Movement SDK and Places APIs to create location-based applications.

Our platform processes over 9 billion monthly visits from more than 500 million devices worldwide. We use stop-detection to accurately map visits and maintain a dynamic map of over 100 million points of interest across more than 200 countries. We also provide open-source access to POI data. We prioritize data privacy, giving consumers control over their data and regularly auditing partners to ensure they meet our privacy standards. We have over 15 years of experience in location technology and work with more than 550 integrated partners.

Foursquare was founded in 2009 and has offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Serbia, and Singapore.

Our mission is to build the most trusted, independent platform for understanding how people move through the real world.

Our leadership principles are: Customers First, Owners Over Occupation, Builders Wanted, Think Bigger, Experimentation Drives Growth, Get Going, Ruthlessly Prioritize, Hire Well, Coach Hard, Highly Aligned, Loosely Coupled, and In All Things Diverse. These principles guide how we operate and collaborate internally.

We have 501-1000 employees and work with over 1500 global brand and agency clients. We value hands-on builders and problem-solvers who do well in fast-paced, collaborative settings. Our culture emphasizes ownership, adaptability, and a commitment to making an impact as a team.

Many of our roles have a hybrid work model, requiring people to be in our New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and Serbia offices three days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). We focus on shipping products, team performance, and flat structures where everyone’s ideas are welcome.

Our employee benefits include flexible paid time off, comprehensive healthcare coverage (medical, dental, vision, life insurance), and a 401(k) retirement plan with company match. We offer family planning support through Carrot and a Growth Investment Program for personal and professional development. You’ll receive a company laptop and essential tech setup. Restricted stock units are also part of our compensation package.

For employees in Serbia, benefits include private medical insurance and FitPass, which gives access to gyms and wellness facilities. Hybrid roles in Serbia also include company-paid lunch on office days.
