Descripción del empleo

We're a fitness technology company working at the cutting edge of VR and MR, building a movement for movement. Our mission is to redefine fitness and prove that exercise can be fun and for everyone. We believe in a future where exercise is everywhere.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to own our AWS infrastructure. You’ll focus on DevOps work but stay hands-on in the codebase, building and architecting new features as part of our backend engineering team. When things go wrong, you’ll lead the detective effort to understand the root cause and fix underlying problems so they don’t reoccur.

The current FitXR experience in VR is just the beginning - we’ll continue to disrupt fitness across new platforms and experiences, and you’ll play a big role in enabling innovation.

What you’ll do

• Spend around 70% of your time in DevOps and 30% in development
• Take ownership of and evolve our AWS-hosted infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines - prioritising scalability, reliability, and automation
• Support and unblock backend teams by embedding deeply in development cycles
• Build tooling and automation that improves developer experience and platform reliability
• Champion pragmatic safety—implementing guardrails without stifling speed or creativity
• Manage AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, RDS, SQS, SNS, and CloudFormation
• Work with Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes (running on EKS)
• Contribute to React & Unity frontend development
• Use Github for version control and collaboration

You should apply if

• Our mission resonates with you
• You’ve managed cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code before
• You’re comfortable writing backend code - C# is ideal, but experience in Go, Java, Node.js, or similar is also valued
• You’ve worked in small teams or startups with a strong emphasis on ownership
• You’re collaborative, pragmatic, and deeply care about product quality
• You value autonomy and want to make a real impact - not just keep the lights on
• You’re a fan of fully remote work
• You’re excited by the potential GenAI has to make great engineers even greater. We provide everyone with a budget to use and experiment with AI tools

You shouldn’t apply if

• You believe DevOps operates best in a silo away from the development team
• You’d rather fix things manually for the fifth time than script it once
• Autonomy makes you uncomfortable - we move fast and trust each other to do great work

Our mission is to make fitness fun and accessible for everyone. To build inclusive products, we need to build an inclusive team. Please know that this list is indicative and that we would still love to hear from you even if you feel you only are a 75% match. We promote a diverse and inclusive culture at FitXR.

The application and interview process looks like this :

• Apply with your CV
• Interview with the talent team
• Interview with CTO
• Interview with FitXR Founder

This is a permanent position based in the UK or Spain, with the ability to work remotely within those countries only. We're not sponsoring visas right now, so you'll need to already have full right to work in your chosen location.
