• Write scalable, well-tested code – You’ll design and implement robust solutions that ensure system scalability and high availability.
• Prototype & Innovate – Work closely with Product, Design, and Sports Science teams to experiment with new ideas and technical approaches.
• Shape our technical direction – Your insights will help improve engineering standards, processes, and architecture as we grow.

What we're looking for:

• Experience building and shipping multiple mobile applications. Our apps are rich in functionality. Given our broad and diverse user base, we’re particularly interested in the range and complexity of the apps you’ve built.
• Expertise in Swift & SwiftUI
• Solid understanding of version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines (e.g., CircleCI, Fastlane), and mobile app deployment workflows.
• Experience writing unit tests, snapshot tests and UI automation tests to maintain high code quality.
• Comfortable working with APIs (REST, GraphQL) to integrate real-time data.
• Experience in agile environments, working in cross-functional teams.
• Deep understanding of software design patterns, object-oriented programming, and best practices.
• Analytical problem-solving mindset – you love finding elegant solutions to complex challenges.

Bonus skills (nice to have!):

• Experience working in feature-driven teams with designers, product managers, and engineers.

• Familiarity with Objective-C
• Experience utilizing Cloud services to rapidly build, deploy and manage robust functionality (serverless functions, notifications hubs, storage etc).
• Strong UI/UX skills with a focus on usability.
• Experience working in process-oriented engineering environments.
• Passion for sports tech is a plus (but not required!) – we value developers who empathize with users and build solutions that help them succeed.
• Cross-platform experience developing Android apps (we use Kotlin) is a huge plus!

Why join us?

• Work on high-impact products used by athletes and coaches worldwide.
• Be part of an innovative, fast-moving team with a focus on automation and continuous delivery.
• Hybrid/remote work flexibility, with a collaborative and supportive team culture.
• Direct influence on technical decisions and product roadmap.
