Careers

ABOUT US PEOPLE + CULTURE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY CAREERS

BE A WAHOOLIGAN

Wahoo was created with a simple purpose: to build the better athlete in all of us. Our training platform seamlessly integrates wearable devices, connected hardware, and science-based training plans to help everyday and world-class endurance athletes reach their fitness goals.

Our people fuel our growth, through their passion for serving the endurance athlete that borders on obsession. We need creative self-starters who thrive in a casual, free-flowing environment. Folks from around the world and across demographic lines, who have a variety of outside interests and like to compete, celebrate, and have fun. You don’t have to be an Olympic athlete or rocket scientist to work at Wahoo, but you should do what you love and love what you do.

We embrace the uniqueness inherent in every Wahooligan and aren’t afraid to approach a problem from a different angle either… and possibly break something in the process.

We’re not a big company, so we need people who can figure things out on their own, know when to ask for help, and drive things forward quickly. An ownership mindset is a must. We think excuses kinda suck - so don’t try to blame our dog, Birdie, when your homework isn’t done.

From how we deal with a customer to how we treat one another, our overriding imperative is that we always do what’s right and act with fairness and integrity. We're a community, and we have each other's backs. We band together to work hard, have fun, and take care of each other along the way.

We are here to build friendships, not networks.

For the Wahooligan, culture is critical.

If ours gets you revved up, we want to meet you.
