Senior Software Engineer

MAP Policy Partners is a Beacon Software portfolio company and a leader in MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) enforcement automation. With over 15 years of industry experience, we've engineered a streamlined, automated solution for MAP monitoring and enforcement, built to detect, investigate, and act on violations across millions of online sellers.

Our platform provides automated email reports, screenshot evidence of violations, in-house investigation services, and data history tracking—empowering brands to stay proactive and in control of their pricing integrity. Whether it's monitoring custom websites or delivering daily violation summaries, our mission is clear: to provide a customized, one-to-one solution for every MAP partner.
