WELLO - San Francisco, CA - UX Design Lead

At Wello (https://www.wello.com), we are rethinking how people get fit. We are bringing the Gym to your home over live video. The fitness options today work for the highly motivated but not for the rest which is evident in the rising obesity rates in the country.

We want you to come help us design our user experiences. Our users are across all age groups, some who are fit and some who are wanting to be more fit. Our design challenge is to build a product that makes it really easy for users to do a workout from end-to-end by getting out of their way and wowing them with the experience.

We think any of our team mates should have the following traits. Hardworking, analytical and a great sense of humor. They should be serious about their work, but not take themselves too seriously. We recommend that you try our product so you can tell us how you can make us better.

Our customers love us. Every 2 out of 3 users who works out with one of our trainers comes back for more. We graduated from Rock Health in Spring and have some great investors who get marketplaces such as ours. We make money when users pay to workout with a trainer. And our prices are a fraction of the gym costs thanks to efficiencies we provide. This also means we are lowering the cost for our customers.

We use our own platform to keep ourselves healthy. We are a small team, so your impact and influence on our culture will be huge. We love the Netflix philosophy of context and control.

Contact us at jobs@wello.com or ping me at amol@wello.com with your resume.

Perfect Audience - SF, CA - Dev Ops

About the Position: One of the most important roles in the build-out and maintenance of this system to fill is the dev-ops / automation engineer role. We need someone to help us assemble the airplane as it is taking off, so we need a strongly independent candidate that understands teamwork and compromise. You'll have a lot of autonomy in this role, and will be making big choices on a rapidly scaling application. Don't read this as you will not be supported, quite the opposite. Read this as we value your opinion and work and expect you to be deeply integrated within our team. We need to be able to depend on you, and you need to be able to depend on us.

What we are looking for:

- Our concurrent code is built in Java and handles thousands of requests a second, 24/7. We need help keeping it happy and behaving well from deployment, to scaling to everyday operations.

- We run on a variety of Amazon Web Services like DynamoDB, EC2 and SQS - we need to get the most out of it. Prior experience here is a huge plus.

- Our code handles thousands of dollars worth of transactions a day, and is up 24/7 so we need to monitor everything. We like Scout, Nagios and Graphite. If you have strong feelings about why these are the wrong tools, we would love to hear that too.
