Senior Backend Engineer - MERN stack

Get To Know AimFit:

Empowering women is at the heart of everything we do at AimFit. We know in our culture that women, as primary caregivers and nurturers, put their own health on the back seat to look after others. All evidence clearly points out that a health-conscious matriarch is better for the family, society, and economy. The barriers to women adopting a healthy lifestyle are real though – an absence of information, motivation, skills, spouse & family support, accessibility to places for physical activity, cost-effective services, and free time are real challenges. This is where AimFit comes in, AimFit is a fitness platform for women with a mission to make 110 million women in Pakistan the fittest in the world and change the future of our nation. We produce and distribute hyper-localized fitness content through our studios, app and web products.

We raised our Seed funding round of 1 million USD in Sept 2020. You can read more about it here: https://www.menabytes.com/aimfit-seed

We are hiring to expand our studios. Our studios team is currently small but growing fast so stakeholders joining now can expect to have a huge contribution towards the business and enjoy significant positions and stake in the company as we grow!
