About the Job

FOAM provides the tools to enable a crowdsourced map and decentralized location services. The FOAM Map is a community-verified registry of crowdsourced places built on the Ethereum blockchain. And FOAM Location is a permissionless and autonomous network of radios that offer secure location services through time synchronization, independent of centralized sources like GPS. Join the FOAM team and help build the future of location data.

Our small and agile team is made up of developers, designers, and geospatial experts. We believe that the most meaningful products and solutions are created when creative and technical people collaborate together in a supportive working environment. The FOAM team is comprised of people excited to build the future, passionate about everything from open source mapping to architectural history.

We’re based out of the New Lab at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, an interdisciplinary workspace designed to support urban entrepreneurs leveraging advanced technologies. Maps and location services solve real-life problems when they’re in the hands of the people who use them every day. We put the community first, rewarding everyone for the value they create.
