At Fitbit, our mission is to help people lead healthier, more active

Todday, that idea has become a movement. Fitbit is now a
publicly-traded company creating award-winning products and services
that are available across the globe. We're transforming the way the
world sees health & fitness. In fact, the Fitbit Community has taken
enough steps to walk from the Sun to Pluto. Our culture combines the
spirit of startup with the perks of being publicoffering a
ccompetitive benefits package and amazing perks like free lunches,
Friday happy hours, on-site fitness classes and more. As part of our
team, you'll have the opportunity to grow your career, contribute
your ideas to life-changing products and services, andabove allhave
fun doidoing it.
Fitbit's HQ campus is made up of three modern buildings located at
the heart of SOMA in San Francisco. Monday-Friday you can feast your
eyes on amazing views of the skyline, then feast yourself on some of
the city's best food trucks, lunch spots and coffee shops. When
you've had your fill, lace up and make your way to the Ferry Building
for the perfect post-work run or walk along the water (with the Bay
Bridge as your backdrop)!
