We at Foursquare believe the world is full of amazing experiences and are building products that help you realize them. With an ever growing population of smartphone users, we're creating technology that knows when your friends are nearby and when places and experiences you'll love are right around the corner. Some of the exciting products we’re building include the Foursquare app that helps you discover the most interesting places around you, the Swarm app that makes it fun to keep up and meet up with friends, and Pinpoint which enables marketers sophisticated geo-based advertising. Every day we push the boundaries of our technology and foster strategic partnerships with our data as we strive to become the location layer of the internet.
About our engineering internship/co-op program:
We're looking for enthusiastic interns who are looking forward to integrating with our talented engineering organization. An internship (or co-op) at Foursquare lasts at least 12 consecutive weeks during the summer (starting May/June) of 2017 at our New York City (HQ) office, and you'll be asked for some serious contributions.
Types of projects range from working on our core features and services that millions of users interact with daily to bolstering our infrastructure to handle the ever increasing demands. You'll work closely with a mentor throughout the program and get a chance to dig through our extensive venues codebase, while writing server code in Scala or trying your hand at mobile app development. Our ideal intern has a genuine passion for Foursquare and our pursuit of conquering the location space, new technologies, and is just as eager to contribute as they are willing to learn!
What we're looking for
◦ Passionate about the world of computer science supported by excelling in relevant classes in school or by writing serious code for personal side projects
◦ Familiar with programming languages like Java, C++, or Python and excited to pick up new languages (we use Scala!) and technologies
◦ Willing to take ownership and drive projects forward while being open to providing and receiving input from others you work with
◦ Comfortable communicating and working in a small team environment that is centered around collaboration
◦ A plus for having previous engineering internships with hands-on production code experience
