Ladder Technologies, Inc.
We are redefining how people get stronger and looking for a critical role to expand our Design team.
Product Design at Ladder means
crafting the experience
that transforms someone’s relationship with fitness. This isn’t about making things look pretty. It’s about building an interface and journey members can’t live without.
The TLDR
Ladder is the #1 strength & conditioning app on iOS
— We deliver custom weekly workout plans with in-workout coaching, progress tracking, and a tight-knit fitness community.
HQ in Austin, TX
— We love local, but remote is an option if you’re in US time zones.
We are on FIRE
- 10x'ed the business in two years and cash flow positive; 4.9 stars (100k+ ratings) and Apple Editors' Choice Award.
Tier 1 Investors
- Well capitalized by Point72 and a $100M growth capital commitment from General Catalyst.
You’re a top 1% Designer
— Experienced, hungry, and obsessive about building world-class product experiences.
You’ll shape the visual and interactive language of a high-growth consumer app
— Every pixel you craft helps real people get stronger, stay engaged, and spread the word.
Ladder launched in 2020 to reinvent strength training for everyday athletes. We’re a lean, high-output team of veteran builders focused on solving real customer problems and creating the most rewarding fitness experience anywhere.
We’ve scaled fast — thanks to strong retention, smart unit economics, and a product people love. With fresh capital, momentum, and a bold vision to expand beyond fitness, we’re building something your kids will brag about.
We keep the bar high. We trust our people. And we have fun while doing it.
