Who We're Looking For

- Considerable experience building and shipping iOS apps.

- You are obsessed with delivering a great user experience.

- You work well with small, tight-knit teams.

- You prioritize strong communication above all else. A team that stays in sync is a team that gets shit done.

Nearly half a million people use our web and mobile apps to track their progress, compete against their friends, and get real world results. We turn life into the ultimate RPG where you are the hero that levels up, beats quests, and finds the best version of yourself.

We are a small, 6-person team based out of NYC that recently raised money from a variety of VCs and angels, including 500 Startups and Eniac Ventures. The founders, having gone through significant fitness transformations in their own personal lives, originally started Fitocracy in late 2010 as a way to marry their love of fitness with their years growing up playing classic role playing games like Final Fantasy and Everquest.

We put a lot of time into making sure our iPhone app was beautifully designed and fun to use. We've received thousands of rave reviews in 3 months and we aim to continue building the app into the best social fitness experience available.

San Francisco (Mission), CA - Full-time - Entelo: http://www.entelo.com/

7 things about us:

#1 - We're building a company that Entelo with a mission of changing how companies hire and think about talent acquisition.

#2 - It's a big data challenge and very interesting technically and while we're still stealth, we have dozens of paying corporate customers.

#3 - The team is small so you'll play an integral role in building something meaningful.

#4 - Our stack is a mix of Ruby, Scala, MySQL, Mongo, elasticsearch and a bunch of other goodies. We're trying to open source as much as we can (e.g., https://github.com/rglabs/teleport, https://github.com/gip/resque-telework).

#5 - If the notion of "spray and pray" recruiting makes you a little nauseous and you want to do something about it, you should contact us. :)

#6 - We work out of a beautiful and well-lit loft in the Mission, close to Coffee Bar, Blowfish, Atlas and a host of other cool coffee shops and restaurants.

#7 - We're going big on this one.

I'm the founder and you can email me directly at jon at entelo dot com or call me at 310-351-7275.
