CTO for B2B Sports SaaS
Gymdesk

Gymdesk provides modern, online management software to gyms, martial arts schools, yoga studios and other fitness and wellness businesses. In an industry dominated by outdated and cumbersome products, we provide the superior user experience people expect in 2023.

We are looking for a senior technical leader who still likes to roll up their sleeves and write code. We have over 1000 businesses use our product to manage their operation, and growing rapidly. You'll be taking over leading the technical direction of the product from the technical founder, and will work closely with him to set and execute the technical roadmap, and leading the rest of the development team.

You should love managing complexity in elegant ways, and creating user interfaces that hide that complexity in the backend. The product is mature, but is constantly evolving / adapting based on new use-cases and user feedback.

About the role:

Our CEO is currently our lead developer as well. You'll receive training on the stack, platform and flows within the software. Gym management might not sound complicated, however there is a lot of complexity hidden behind our shiny UI, as we account for many different use-case that you likely have never considered as part of running a gym. Regardless of your past experience, we believe this will be a worthy challenge.

About the team:

Gymdesk is a small and effective team (currently 10 people). We don't have office politics and try to minimize the amount of interruptions you will have to deal with. We are a remote team that communicates mostly through slack and video chats as needed. We use Github to manage our repos, tickets and sprints.

Requirements:

• 8+ years of demonstrated professional experience with the entire PHP stack (language, frameworks, open-source libraries, web servers, optimization)

• A growth mindset. You want to challenge yourself to grow as a technical leader and take on new responsibilities and acquire new skills.

• Solid front end skills with HTML5, CSS, vanilla Javascript and jQuery

• Good understanding of user experience and flows

• Strong experience with (My)SQL database design, querying and optimization

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

• And most importantly, a natural ability to get stuff done

Compensation:

• This is a full-time, 40-hour a week role

• Annual salary of $140k-190k depending on skills, seniority and fit

• Health and dental reimbursement plan (pick your own insurance)

• 20 PTO days a year, in additional to national holidays

• Home office improvement budget

• Potential equity compensation
  

If youâre excited about creating software that looks beautiful on the front end and elegant on the back end, give us a shot. Weâll do our best to make the interview experience fast, enjoyable, and mentally stimulating.

If we donât get a chance to speak with you, thank you so much for your interest, and hopefully there will be a better opportunity down the line.
