Why We Do It

Knowing where you’re going is an amazing feeling, but sometimes the next step isn’t so clear. We are an entirely new approach to career fulfillment for everyone who’s stuck, looking to make moves, or simply wanting to do and achieve more.

We are the solution to that all-important question: Where Do I Start?

Our goal is to unlock the potential of everyone in the workplace so they can achieve success on their own terms. When you have what you need when you need it... That’s How You Land It!

Why You?

  • You have a deep understanding of system design, data structures, and algorithms.
  • You enjoy building APIs and system services that can scale seamlessly with a quickly growing user base.
  • You care about quality and you know what it means to ship high-quality code.
  • You're pragmatic. Sometimes a beautiful solution is impermanent and expedient. You know how to make the call.

How You Will Change the World in this Role

  • Implement New Products—Work closely with the VP of Engineering, other engineers, designers, and product managers. Define, test, and execute new user-facing features and platform integrations. Build reusable libraries and tools to help the team move faster and write more reliable code.
  • Build Scalable, Reliable, Secure Back-End Technology—Work with Rails, Python, and AWS to craft and implement user-facing features and internal tooling. Apply your knowledge of architectural patterns and coding constantly to ensure a smooth and scalable user experience.
  • Optimize Application for Maximum Speed and Scalability—Our product and stack are constantly evolving, so we value versatile engineers who seek out the right tool for the job, and who aren’t afraid of exploring the unfamiliar. We'll count on you to identify new (or new-to-us) technologies, frameworks, and libraries that enrich our members' experience.
  • Contribute to Every Stage of the Product Development Process— Analyze the needs of our members, clients, coaches, and internal team to inform design and development decisions. Be a key contributor to our product development process, from conceptualization to launch to support.
