Mobile app converting daily steps into virtual currency and brand rewards
Sweatcoin is a mobile-first health app that gamifies physical activity through a virtual-currency model, with 200M+ downloads and active partnerships across Nike, adidas, and 1,300+ brands. The tech stack is mobile-native (iOS/Android with Detox, Appium, XCUITest, Espresso for testing) paired with backend services (Firebase, Python, Java, SQL). Hiring is slowing but senior-focused—recent roles target product, QA, and B2B sales—while active projects signal a shift toward scaling monetization and outbound engines alongside core testing infrastructure.
Notable leadership hires: Head of B2B Sales
Sweatcoin operates a mobile health platform that converts user steps into a virtual currency, redeemable for branded goods, discounts, and experiences. The app serves consumers globally, with monetization driven by brand partnerships (Nike, adidas, lululemon, and 1,297 others), ad networks (AppLovin MAX, Google AdMob), and direct rewards fulfillment. At 51–200 employees across 30+ nationalities, the company is headquartered in London and operates hiring across the UK, Portugal, and Belgium. Core challenges include scaling QA for millions of daily active users, expanding B2B partner pipelines, and balancing user retention against monetization mechanics.
