At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
WHOOP is building a deeply technical IT organization and is looking to add Systems Engineers. These are critical roles that will build the foundation for innovative, scalable IT operations. These roles will evolve our IT systems, processes, and infrastructure - driving progress across employee experience, identity & access management, automation & self-service, endpoint engineering, corporate security, compliance readiness, and more. As an early member of a small but fast-growing team, candidates must be ready and excited to take on significant responsibility, embrace ambiguity, and help define what world-class IT capabilities look like at WHOOP.
This role will collaborate closely with company leadership, Security functions, Risk & Compliance, IT Support, Business Systems, and more.
This is a high-impact role with a broad scope, and we have a mountain of work to accomplish. We don’t expect superhuman results from one individual - but we do want to attract someone who is motivated by the challenge, energized to solve technical problems, and ready to invest in their own growth.
