At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers users to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
As an Android Engineer at WHOOP, you will be involved in the planning, design, development, validation, and maintenance of features. The WHOOP app provides users with lots of data analysis while also continuously streaming data from our proprietary Bluetooth peripheral all day every day. This means the app is not only responsible for the transport of large amounts of data between the peripheral and our backend server, but also requires complex views, visualizations, and interfaces to give the user insights into the data in near-real time. The combination of these requirements presents an interesting set of challenges unique to the WHOOP system.
