Sparta Science is where extreme programming (XP) meets extreme physical training. Sparta’s cloud-based intelligence platform trains top professional athletes (NBA, NFL, MLB, pro soccer, rugby, etc.), university sports teams, and military special forces leveraging our proprietary force plate technology and customized workout plans.
On the programming side, we’re extreme to the max – 100% pair programming, 100% test driven development (TDD), together with ALL of the XP agile practices; no compromises, no shortcuts. We’re extreme on technology, too, using a next-generation Elixir/Phoenix technology stack.
We’re looking for extremely empathetic people who love to collaborate and learn, and who value programming as a team sport over a solo activity. If you can make our team, as a perk you’ll have the opportunity to train alongside our top professional athletes using our customized workout programs. We embrace the agile principles of transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to change, which are values we share with our with our top athletes and coaches. Do you have what it takes to be a Spartan?
