## Job description

At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock and inspire performance for life.

As a Software Engineer I (Frontend), you will help build the user experiences that power WHOOP’s digital products. With direction from senior engineers, you will ship high-quality code for member-facing features to production, using modern web technologies and AI-assisted development workflows to prototype and iterate rapidly. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who cares about user experience, learns quickly from feedback, and wants to grow toward owning features from concept through launch.

## RESPONSIBILITIES:

- Build well-defined parts of member-facing features from designs and requirements, estimate your work, and see your part through to production
- Prototype, iterate on, and ship features using AI-assisted development workflows, with guidance and code review from your teammates
- Contribute to high-quality, performant web applications built with Next.js, React, and Tailwind CSS
- Implement responsive, mobile-first user interfaces from designs so they work well across devices
- Test your code against core user journeys, take part in code reviews, and apply the feedback you receive to each new contribution
- Work closely with product, design, and backend teams, asking questions to understand the reasoning behind product and UX decisions
- Learn and apply the team’s best practices in frontend architecture, performance, accessibility, and maintainability
- Grow your knowledge of the systems your team owns and take part in the on-call rotation, escalating issues when needed

## QUALIFICATIONS:

- 0 to 2 years of professional experience in frontend or full stack software development, including internships or co-ops
- Solid fundamentals in JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML, and CSS
- Experience building web applications with React through work, internships, coursework, or personal projects (Next.js and Tailwind CSS experience is a plus)
- Experience shipping user-facing work, such as a product feature, an internship project, or a personal app
- Care for user experience and attention to detail, with curiosity about how members use the product
- Familiarity with building responsive, mobile-first interfaces
- Eagerness to work and learn in a fast-paced, iterative environment with an emphasis on rapid prototyping and continuous improvement
- Familiarity with integrating frontend code with RESTful APIs, and interest in learning to work across the stack
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the habit of researching a problem on your own before asking for help and bringing the options you have considered when you do
- Clear communication and collaboration skills, including comfort asking questions and sharing progress often
