- Make well-reasoned decisions and trade-offs within your area of expertise to align the team’s prioritisation with company strategy and goals, tying activity back to having business relevance or to product metrics.
- Continuously build upon your knowledge of industry trends and apply your insight of how others solve similar problems to your domain and team.
- Assist other team members with their planning & tasks, especially where they are operating within your own area of expertise.

- Great verbal and written communication skills. You’ll communicate well with technical and non technical stakeholders alike
- Proven track record of successful product releases, or equivalent amount of industry experience
- Comfortable using performance analysis tools and writing optimised code

Other Desired Skills and Experience - Having any one of these is an added plus:
- Other programming and scripting languages, and other domains (eg Unity, JavaScript, React, etc.)
- Familiarity with developing in a CICD environment (we use Jenkins)
- Experience creating and/or working in a DevOps culture
- Basic knowledge of Unity game engine and editor, which we’d love to help you deepen

Our mission is to make fitness fun and accessible for everyone. To build inclusive products, we need to build an inclusive team.
