We're putting together a talented team to build the #1 training platform for Runners.
We help everyday runners become outstanding by providing world-class training, coaching, and community for everyone, whether you're improving your 5k time or training for your first marathon. To date, we have built iOS, Android, and Apple Watch apps that help people achieve their goals by coaching them through the full journey and syncing to their favorite fitness devices.
We’re growing extremely fast and in November 2023 closed a new £5M funding round led by JamJar with participation from Eka Ventures, Venrex, and Creator Ventures. In 2024, we were selected by Apple as one of three global finalists for the 2024 iPhone App of the Year, reflecting the innovation and impact of what we’ve built.
We want to grow as fast as we can into the future and are looking for individuals who will help us get there. For more about our background and growth, check out our Careers Page!

4. 1.5-hour technical interview (the first half of the call will be used to discuss the take-home technical task from the previous stage, and the second half will consist of two live coding exercises from leetcode.com and some general architecture/tech questions)
5. Meet the team (in-person chat with founder(s) and the rest of the team)
Once the process is finished, we promise to let you know our decision as soon as possible.
