THE TEAM:
The Zwift server platforms run on heterogeneous and distributed cluster stacks composed of several different layers and nodes that require a number of different technologies that run 24/7 for the international user community. We are constantly modifying the software and improving its core frameworks to accommodate the increased load that comes with the steady growth of our successful business. All changes must happen with no disruption to the service, and the development and delivery of the core framework requires coordination between the Game, Web, Mobile, Server Engineering, Quality Assurance and Product teams.
Who we are:

We took the boring indoor routine and game-ified it, by developing an at-home training experience that connects cyclists and runners with each other around the world. We’re on a mission to make more people, more active, more often.
Launched from the sunny beaches of Long Beach, CA with offices in NYC, London, and Rio de Janeiro, the Zwift community is active in 195 countries (yup - more countries than the United Nations) and growing. We’re endlessly positive, relentlessly inventive, and always looking to improve… wanna join?
