Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer II to join our User Lifecycle team, focused on onboarding, activation, and habit-building experiences that drive long-term retention. You’ll lead end-to-end design within a cross-functional pod, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data, and Research.
This role is ideal for a thoughtful systems thinker and craft-driven designer who thrives in strong partnerships, operates with low ego, and believes the best outcomes come from shared ownership. You combine strategic clarity, visual excellence, and data-informed decision-making to create modern, meaningful experiences that help athletes build lasting fitness habits.
We follow a flexible hybrid model that generally translates to more than half your time on-site in our San Francisco office— three days per week.
