Full-Stack Developer

Join Basic-Fit as a Full-Stack Developer

At Basic-Fit, we are on a mission to make fitness accessible for everyone. With 4.1 million members and more than 1,500 clubs in 6 different countries, we are the largest gym chain in Europe, and we’re not slowing down any time soon—we open a new Basic-Fit almost every day!

One of the reasons we can grow this quickly is because we supercharge our clubs with hardware and software. Because of this, our club hosts have more time for our members, and it even lets us have clubs accessible 24/7!

We are also very fond of self-service. We try to make sure that a member has full control over their membership. Our goal is that every member is able to help themselves, whenever they want, wherever they want.

To contribute to our mission, we also build features that get our members moving. Either by helping them pick their very first workout or by giving them a little present to get them moving again. We even give users badges for coming to the club!

But be aware, this is not an easy task.

What we do is important to a lot of people, every error and every performance bottleneck can impact the fitness experience a member has. As a developer, you need to make sure that all our software and hardware runs smoothly. This means the applications you build must handle millions of requests without breaking a sweat, and the hardware needs to be properly serviced and operational across all 6 countries. On top of that, Basic-Fit likes to move quickly, and so do our teams! That’s why we minimize unnecessary rituals and focus on the exciting stuff—building software that really matters.

What it takes to work at Basic-Fit:

• You need to be a problem solver at heart, using software as your weapon of choice.
• You understand that there is a wide array of different people required to make a really big impact, and you are not afraid to knock on some doors to get things done.
• Working at Basic-Fit means you eat scale and complexity for breakfast, and that growth is a guarantee.
• You are eager to take responsibility and know how to manage risk well.
• You are knowledgeable about your craft and have demonstrated experience with at least some of our tech stack (down below).

And that’s where a smart person like you comes in—if you’re up for the challenge.

Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of back-up!
