Peloton | https://careers.onepeloton.com | Frontend, Mobile (iOS & Android), Backend, Hardware engineers | New York; Santa Clara; Woodinville, WA | Hybrid

Peloton uses technology and design to connect the world through fitness, empowering people to be the best version of themselves anywhere, anytime.

In 2012, we brought the best talent in technology, hardware and production together to accomplish an ambitious goal: bring the community and excitement of boutique fitness into the home. The idea struck us after years of struggling to get to the workout classes we loved, while balancing our demanding jobs and busy families. So we made it our mission to bring immersive and challenging workouts into people's lives in a more accessible, affordable and efficient way.

unsolicited feedback, a 30min coding exercise before I even talk to a real human to know if the job is a fit is insane. edit: why doesn't this have a parent comment anymore? bug?

No one is going to do a face to face call with every candidate.

Giving someone a coding exercise is the most time and cost effective way to filter people. Why waste time spending eng or HR hours calling someone when they can't code? As dumb as it sounds, giving a simple assignment probably culls the number of actually applicants down significantly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Isn't the worry here that Google is going to head in this same direction? (hasn't there been some indication that they are moving in this direction?)

They can try to keep up :) We have two major advantages: 1. We can use best-in-class AI tech, from any vendor (ie. OpenAI) -- whereas Google is only going to use their internal tech 2. We can take lots of UX risk when designing the perfect UI for an AI email client. Gmail has to be much more cautious given it's such a core, old, massive product.

If you are using the OpenAI APIs then are all your user’s emails making it onto their servers?
