Our site is the most respected destination for health, fitness, and wellness information on the Internet (reaching over 4 million monthly visitors) and we are looking to deepen this trust with beautifully innovative and interactive content supported by the fastest and most scalable backend in the industry.

Responsibilities

You’ll be responsible for helping create innovative and interactive interfaces that bring content, data, and design to life. You will work on your own projects or in tandem with our front-end developers in an incredibly supportive environment as you build and maintain new backend features and optimizations.

We are a small team that deploys new features quickly, but we know when to slow down and make sure we’ve got it right. Given our size, everyone has massive responsibilities and high visibility in the company. We’re looking for people who work well in teams (and don’t need micromanagement), generate their own ideas for products, features or enhancements, and are overwhelmingly curious and dedicated to learning.
