At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers users (Olympians, Professional Athletes, Fitness Enthusiasts, etc) to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives. We are looking to add highly motivated skilled engineers to our team to help us scale and take our proven system to new heights.

The WHOOP app provides users with team leaderboards, featured story feed content, AMAs and countless other insights. The app is 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. 

As a Senior Android Engineer and Technical Lead on the Progress & Achievements team, you’ll be leading the development of high impact features that drive engagement with the platform to help grow and retain the member base of WHOOP. You will spearhead the technical direction and influence features alongside product management, design, and other members of the leadership team. You will not only be able to contribute to development at a high level, but also be a leader to provide technical guidance and mentorship to the team.
