Join the team that is transforming the way coaches and athletes interact!

* One of Outside Magazine's "Best Places to Work" for 6 years *

If you are interested in playing a role in designing and implementing innovative web app solutions for coaches and athletes - then you have come to the right place. At TrainingPeaks we share a passion for creating the next best thing in the world of endurance training software and are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join the API Team, reporting to the Director of Engineering.

The TrainingPeaks "API Team" is responsible for creating and supporting the services and infrastructure of our public API and 3rd party "cloud-to-cloud" integrations. This team owns the entire delivery process around this business goal: from managing 3rd party relationships, prototyping potential integrations, refactoring and maintaining existing "core" business logic systems, implementing OAuth flows, to helping with AWS infrastructure and being a key part of the release engineering--you do it all.

Who We Are

Passionate developers spread across a number of cross-functional Agile teams building cool stuff!

Software engineers, QA, designers, and managers share a large common space and common vision of clean, pragmatic code with a clear goal to help athletes train better. Most of us are recreational and competitive athletes who love both their training and training tools, make heavy use of the TrainingPeaks applications, and bring that experience into their job. Weekly group rides or power-lifting sessions in our Pain Cave are a common way to release stress and refresh our creativity.

Refactoring and unit testing are daily practices, and each one of us is dedicated to fixing broken windows as they're found. New features are often pair-programmed and almost always include full automated test coverage. At the same time, our managers and leaders constantly strive to balance technical debt with the pragmatism of an agile process. We started down the Scrum path and some of our teams have slowly evolved towards Kanban and pull-based Lean methods. Teams love the level of communication of daily stand-ups and weekly process reviews, and each developer is deeply motivated to constantly improve their daily workflow.

Core Functions of the Role:

  • Supporting 3rd party partners using the TrainingPeaks B2B API
  • Maintaining the documentation for the TrainingPeaks B2B API

  • Strong drive for problem-solving, for constantly evolving technologies and software development methods
  • A code test will be a part of the interview process, taken in your choice of the following languages: .NET core (Windows, Linux, MacOs), .NET framework (Windows), Python, Go, and JavaScript

Desired Qualifications:

  • Experience with SQL Server, nHibernate, Elasticsearch, Redis, JSON, Web API, Git & GitHub, TeamCity CI, AWS, nUnit, IOC, HTML,Obj-C, Swift, or mobile development would be a plus
  • Outdoors enthusiast or endurance athlete who has used TrainingPeaks in your own training

Benefits and Perks:

  • 100% company paid medical plan for employees with buy-up options as well as dental and vision insurance for employees (dependent coverage available)
  • $1,200/year fitness reimbursement to purchase any items related to healthy living

An Insider's view of Peaksware

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Small cross-functional teams form to tackle projects and initiatives. By working together with different teams and experiences, not only can we divide the work across included departments, it also allows us to look at a problem through multiple lenses. This approach helps to ensure that our solution is well suited for the needs we intend to address

Andrew

Manager, Data Analytics & Insights

What are some things you learned at the company?

One of the larger challenges our accounting team is trying to solve is streamlining the overall financial ecosystem by implementing consistent processes, policies and procedures among all brands. It's an exciting challenge to solve, incorporating larger projects within our day to day accounting tasks and responsibilities.

Jessica

Corporate Controller

How do you make yourself accessible to the rest of the team?

Working in CA with a team in CO, one would think our distance puts a strain on accessibility, but with the amount of communication channels we have, being available to the team is second nature. Peaksware is centered on trust and accountability. Through this model, accessibility and collaboration is seamless regardless of the distance.
