From small studios to the largest associations, we help thousands of fitness businesses streamline operations, enhance member experiences, and drive sustainable revenue growth.

- Contribute to automated regression test suites in collaboration with Software Engineers in Test
- Maintain and improve testing environments within your area of ownership
- Serve as a product and system knowledge resource for your team, communicating obstacles and technical findings clearly
- Research emerging testing tools and approaches to keep your practice current
- Develop toward a specialization: test automation, release coordination, security/penetration testing, performance testing, or API testing
What you'll bring:
- 2+ years of hands-on software testing experience
- Working knowledge of Agile development practices
- Solid grounding in software quality assurance processes and tools
- Experience with SQL for issue investigation and testing efficiency
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work independently on a distributed team
- An Associate's degree, coding bootcamp, or equivalent experience in IT or Computer Science
Nice to have:
- Experience testing web or mobile applications
- Familiarity with test automation frameworks or contributing to a shared test suite
- Experience with API testing tools like Postman
- Exposure to JavaScript, .NET, C#, or Java
- Experience with performance, load, or stress testing
- Comfort with session-based or exploratory testing methodologies

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
