Software Engineer II (Backend, Growth)

WHOOP is revolutionizing human performance monitoring through their innovative wearable technology platform. As a Software Engineer II on the Growth Team, you'll be at the forefront of driving user acquisition, activation, and retention through data-driven experimentation and feature development.

The role offers an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies like Java, Kafka, and PostgreSQL while building scalable backend services that directly impact business metrics. You'll be part of a fast-paced, experimentation-driven team that takes a methodical approach to measuring and iterating on feature performance.

Working from WHOOP's Boston office, you'll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, data scientists, and fellow engineers to develop and optimize APIs and infrastructure supporting acquisition funnels and e-commerce experiences. The position requires strong technical skills in backend development, experience with event-driven systems, and the ability to write well-tested, maintainable code.

What makes this role particularly compelling is the direct impact you'll have on WHOOP's mission to unlock human performance and healthspan. You'll be building features that help users gain deeper insights into their bodies and daily lives, while working with a talented cross-functional team that values growth, learning, and innovation.

The ideal candidate will bring professional backend engineering experience, strong communication skills, and a growth mindset. While the role has specific technical requirements, WHOOP values character as much as experience and encourages candidates who may not meet every qualification to apply. The company offers a collaborative environment where you can grow your career while contributing to meaningful technology that improves people's lives.
