“About Us” sections always feel like a forced dating bio. So we’ll cut right to it: we solve complex problems for some of the biggest brands in fit-tech. We’ve collected the expertise to help them find and amaze their customers with top-notch digital fitness experiences.

And we work with some unbiasedly awesome people, who believe in deep diving into new challenges, personal growth, and having a life. Since we know you’ll deliver, we’re a Results-Only Workplace Environment, where we offer as many vacation, sick, and mental health days as you need to get the job done.

With projects ranging from high-impact, cutting-edge solutions to complete strategic overhauls we can promise you one thing—your work will have a meaningful impact on an active and thriving customer base.

About You

We’re seeking a Sr. Developer with a Back-End focus to build large-scale web products for health and wellness brands. You will be responsible for contributing to back-end architecture and development of new apps, assisting with maintenance and new features on existing apps while working directly with one/more Project Managers, a lead engineer, and the clients.

Benefits

Though we had an office in Irvine, CA, and co-working spaces in Los Angeles, we've become a remote-first company through the pandemic. We are eager to reintroduce in-person engagements post-pandemic, including quarterly, annual, or impromptu gatherings. Therefore, candidates in Southern California and the Pacific time zone are preferred, but we're happy to consider any candidates in the US.

We're a Results-Only Workplace Environment (ROWE) which allows you as many vacations, sick, and mental-health days as you need, as long as you are meeting your performance goals, assigned tasks, and projects.

Other benefits include:

Health, Dental, Vision, and Life Insurance, 401K Plan, Various Fitness and Wellness Benefits (Group Classes, Free Training, Products, etc.), Continued Education Courses, and Conference Attendance

The responsibilities and job scope discussed above may change as necessitated by business demands.
