At MotionMetrics, we’re working to create digital sports coaching experiences. Our first product is Carv, a digital skiing coach that blends hardware, software and real-time audio instruction to teach people the sport of skiing - a world first across sports.
We’ve shipped 12,000 units to date and are doubling production every year to keep up with demand. This is an outstanding opportunity to work in a fast growing sports technology start-up in London, alongside a fantastic team of hardware and software engineers, marketing and customer service experts who are all passionate about changing the paradigm of coaching.
We're looking for mid/senior iOS and Android engineers to own delivery of our current mobile apps and a Product manager to help us push it further.
Please send an email to [email protected] mentioning HN!
In 2016, we broke the sports wearables record on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. We delivered a v1 of Carv in Winter 2017 and have since helped over a thousand people improve how they ski. With a thin and intelligent insert, Carv measures your movement and weight distribution then relays actionable feedback through your earphones in real-time.
You’ll be working on all things mobile. You’ll be staying close to our users’ primary use-case. Which means skiing! You’ll get the chance to test and trial your creations in our mountain HQ in Innsbruck. You’ll be working with a variety of frameworks and tools including Bluetooth Low Energy, Realm, Mapbox and Protobuf. You'll be using CI and UI Testing to ensure quality.
There’s also plenty of scope for expanding out of mobile and getting involved with the core analysis engine written in C++ or our Python based server.
* You’ve had at least 1 year of experience with React Native and 2+ years with mobile development. You have shipped and iterated at least one app on the Play or App store. If you have shipped or iterated on at least one app React Native app on the Play or App store then that's a bonus!
