Work with FitStar.

We enjoy fitness gadgets, long-distance running, rock climbing, and debating the virtues of paleo vs. slow-carb diets, as well as pub-crawls and a good scotch (we’ve found raising a glass tones arm muscles).

We’re pre-launch, angel-funded by a shortlist of high-profile Silicon Valley investors and offer competitive pay, full medical, dental and other benefits. And we have an awesome office near South Park in SOMA.
