About foursquare:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

foursquare helps you and your friends make the most of where you are.\u00a0We’re a small but highly ambitious company with millions of users worldwide relying on foursquare to keep up with friends, discover what’s nearby, save money and unlock deals.\u00a0\u00a0We\u2019re also helping over a million registered merchants ranging from local businesses to global brands connect with their customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the role:
\nFoursquare is seeking a passionate, curious, creative, and thoughtful user experience designer to join our Product team. We believe we’re fundamentally changing the way people experience the world around them and we want someone who’s dying to play a huge role in designing and defining these new experiences.<\/p>\n

The perfect candidate is fluent in current UX best practices and knows exactly when to throw them out the window and blaze a new trail. You\u2019re flexible, playful and as confident as you are skeptical. You know how to look at a nasty problem and efficiently unpack it into manageable parts. You’re someone who always notices the tiny details and dies a little bit inside when you see artifacts in the world with thoughtless interaction design. You’re intimately familiar with our industry and our product and you know exactly how you’d like to make it better.<\/p>\n

We work as a tight cross-disciplinary team here so you need feel comfortable working closely with Engineering and Business Development as well as your fellow Product team members.<\/p>\n
