Fitbit is hiring full-time software and hardware engineers.
I've been a Principal Software Engineer at Fitbit since November (previously Senior Software Engineer at Google) and Fitbit is an awesome place to work. The company culture is fantastic. The people are great to work with. The Boston office feels like a startup because it's so small and new, yet we're well-funded and secure. Everywhere I go people tell me they love our product or know someone who loves it and talks about it.
If you're really good but none of those positions seems to exactly fit you, apply anyway. New projects are emerging with big data, new products, and other ideas. Feel free to reply with general-interest questions. Personal inquiries can be emailed to me, blewis at the obvious domain.
In Site Engineering, we're using jQuery, Bootstrap, underscore, Handlebars, Backbone, Stylus, Buster, Selenium, requirejs, and Highcharts on the front end, with new technologies introduced as needed. We're only using node as part of the build system for now. The back end is tomcat with a lot of Spring and Hibernate in front of mysql.
Some big data projects I'm aware of also use Python. Beyond that, check job listings to know what tools might be used.
I applied to FitBit a few months ago through LinkedIn but never heard anything in response. Is it OK to apply again; can I get in touch about my previous application?
