At Wahoo, our employees call themselves Wahooligans. To be a Wahooligan means to be driven by the purpose of building the better athlete in all of us. It means to be inspired by the vision of being THE global leader in smart fitness and training. It means operating by a core set of values that include challenging the status quo, supporting each other, doing the right thing, taking ownership of your work and having fun.
Wahooligans have been completely transforming the way endurance athletes train since we launched the first smart trainer for cyclists in 2013, the KICKR. We didn’t stop innovating there though. In 2016, we launched the first app-enabled GPS bike computer, the ELEMNT. In 2018, we launched the first indoor grade simulator, the CLIMB. In 2019, we launched the KICKR Bike, arguably the most innovative bike simulator on the planet. Then in 2020, we broke into the multisport endurance space with the first GPS watch with touchless transitions, the RIVAL. We do not plan on stopping there, and we need great people to join us as we continue to transform the training experience. As a company that is constantly innovating, we need to hire great people and often ask them to do things that push them out of their comfort zone. After all, as Wahooligans, we find comfort in discomfort. If you are up for that kind of challenge, we invite you to keep reading.
