Tech Lead, Core App Experience
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 and skilled engineers to our team to help us scale and take our proven system to new heights.
As the Technical Lead of the Core App Experience team, you will be responsible for leading a team of mobile engineers to create a high-quality and consistent app experience and architecture. Technical Leads at WHOOP are “player-coaches”, and we are looking for someone who is as passionate about crafting high quality code as they are about helping other engineers level-up.
Our iOS and Android apps are entirely written using native app technology and incorporate the latest technologies. The apps feature rich user interfaces and data visualizations, providing highly actionable and relevant information to WHOOP members, helping them maximize their performance every day.
Even if your experience is only with one of the two platforms, if you are excited about having impact across both of our platforms, we would love to talk to you!
