Role
Who you are
- Significant experience building, testing, debugging, and shipping native iOS applications in production environments
- Strong proficiency with Swift and iOS frameworks (for example, SwiftUI, UIKit, XCTest) and experience with modern architecture patterns (for example, MVVM)
- Experience leading technical planning and delivery for ambiguous, cross-cutting iOS initiatives (for example, modularization, large refactors, performance programs, or reliability initiatives)
- Strong foundation in iOS performance and reliability fundamentals (for example, memory management, profiling, and concurrency with Swift Concurrency and/or GCD)
- Experience integrating mobile apps with backend services and APIs (for example, RESTful APIs, authentication flows, and resilient networking)
- Familiarity with common iOS tooling and workflows (for example, Xcode, Git, CI, Fastlane, Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods)
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively across functions (for example, Product, Design, QA, Data, and Backend Engineering) and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences
- Bonus: Experience building shared mobile foundations across platforms (for example, collaborating closely with Android on patterns and releases), or contributing to backend services and APIs (for example, Java)
- Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply! At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience
What the job involves
- As a Senior iOS Engineer on the Core team, you will build the foundations that power the WHOOP iOS app—owning platform capabilities, shared architecture, and reliability/performance improvements that unlock faster delivery for product teams and a consistently great experience for members. You will lead technical planning for complex initiatives, mentor other engineers, and raise the bar for engineering excellence across the iOS stack
- Lead the design and implementation of core iOS platform capabilities (for example, app architecture, navigation patterns, shared UI components, networking, persistence, and feature flagging)
- Drive technical planning for initiatives, including scoping and sequencing work, identifying dependencies and risks, and communicating tradeoffs and timelines to stakeholders
- Deliver high-quality, member-facing iOS features in Swift, collaborating with cross-functional partners to ensure requirements are met and outcomes are measurable
- Improve app reliability, performance, and maintainability through testing, observability, crash and performance monitoring, and disciplined release practices
- Establish and evolve shared engineering standards through code reviews, documentation, and architectural discussions, influencing patterns used across iOS development
- Mentor and support other engineers through pairing, feedback, and knowledge sharing, helping grow individual capability and the overall health of the codebase
Our take
WHOOP develops wearable health-tracking devices designed to help athletes optimise their performance. Its technology continuously monitors recovery, sleep, and training hours to fine-tune both individual and team performance. Unlike competitors that primarily track exercise data, WHOOP's holistic approach includes metrics like heart rate variability, which can influence more effective and healthier exercise routines.
By focusing on a subscription model that includes the cost of the physical device, WHOOP differentiates itself from competitors that charge a higher one-time fee for their products. This model provides ongoing value and encourages users to stay engaged with their health data.
WHOOP's comprehensive monitoring of strain and recovery has given it a competitive edge, even as other brands like Fitbit have incorporated similar features. Beyond sports performance, WHOOP has conducted extensive research on predicting premature births, aiming to integrate these findings into their app. This commitment to broader health applications demonstrates WHOOP's dedication to advancing wearable health technology.
