- You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to build and enhance and maintain our apps on iOS and Android. Additionally, you will contribute to defining and executing the technical strategy to achieve our team objectives - make it easy for Zwifters to plan and start their experiences in Zwift
- Work on software features and tools that will improve Zwift Companion. You'll be expected to build out a deep understanding of the software and influence your teammates and occasionally other teams and functions

- Continually drive software engineering best practices within the team. You'll embrace experimentation and iteration and mentor others along the same lines
- Where possible, you'll evaluate systemic root causes with the help of other senior and staff engineers, looking to solve problems with a 3-6+ month forward vision
- Contribute to technical strategy development, occasionally influencing cross-team technical direction
Our take
Zwift was started to break two preconceptions surrounding indoor training. One: it's boring and two: indoor trainers are expensive.
Zwift provides a virtual world that gamifies indoor training and connects cyclists and runners together on an online multiplayer community. Users have access to 1000's of personalised workouts, all of which only require an in-expensive indoor trainer and monthly subscription.
Zwift are continuously adding content to their virtual world and are aiming to expand into the world of competitive cycling. They even started a Zwift academy Tri-team consisting of eight athletes using Zwift to train then compete at the Ironman World Championship in Kona.
The company's biggest competition is arguably fitness behemoth, Peloton. However, while Zwift prides itself on users’ ability to organize group rides and runs and workouts, classes are not in the offing.
