Were looking for a razor-sharp UI/UX front-end developer who is obsessed with split testing to join our 100% remote world-class digital optimization team. Were heavy DTC advertisers and our success is linked to how well our web and mobile acquisition funnels convert. So, weve created a standalone digital optimization SWAT team that can focus exclusively on iterating rapidly with high volume conversion rate optimization (CRO) testing. If youre obsessed with creating the perfect user experience, love to contribute your ideas and get a thrill when your test wins, please read on.

Who Are We?

Metabolic Living is a self-funded, profitable, rapidly growing multi-channel DTC health and wellness company with 100+ on our team and on pace to hit $50MM in 2020. For the last 9 years weve been quietly developing our metabolic optimization products and fine-tuning our business model. Everything is now clicking, so were stepping on the gas as we march towards our goal of becoming a billion-dollar multi-channel brand by 2024. Weve always been 100% remote and will stay that way as we scale.

Were fortunate to be thriving during these challenging COVD times as we provide exactly what everyone wants. The overall trend towards health and wellness was already a wind in our sails, but COVID lit a match and set our growth on fire, dramatically accelerating things. This is your opportunity to help us make a meaningful impact, precisely at the time when the world needs it the most.

  • Benefits: Health/Dental/Vision/Disability/Life + Robust 401k + 15 Days PTO
  • Hours: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EASTERN (regardless of where you live)

  • Personality: Obsessed with Distilling the Complex into the Simple


Whats the Big Opportunity?

Hello, my name is Kaitlin Reiss, Head of Ecommerce at Metabolic Living, and I need your help. Weve hired the leader of our digital optimization team who has 3,200 split tests under his belt (yes, really!). And now were recruiting the remaining pieces of this world-class team as we get ready to launch two major strategic initiatives to introduce our new brand: our state-of-the-art e-commerce website and customized metabolic optimization app that leverages machine learning and AI. We couldnt be more excited to build this dedicated digital optimization team because it means we can move lightning fast.

If youre as obsessed with testing as I am, this is a dream-scenario. I joined the company because I wanted to be part of building their new brand, to build something special, to build it the right way. But building things the right way is a constant process of optimization. And to do that we need the help of a world-class UI/UX front-end developer who can help us rapidly iterate.

Thats why this is a fantastic opportunity for someone with an inquisitive, consumer-oriented mindset whos oozing with ideas and obsessed with creating amazing user experiences that convert like crazy. You get annoyed when pixels arent perfect and when UXs and UIs dont make sense and scratch your head when you buy something on another website or app and wonder why their checkout process is so inefficient! You love to get creative and your first instinct at a challenge is never it cant be done but rather Ill figure it out and then you deliver and make it happen.

Sure, we need someone who can carve up mockups but were looking for so much more. We want your ideas! We want to tap into your creative problem-solving brain to improve overall usability and to smartly leverage technology to make everything faster, more scalable, smoother, and easier. Youll work with the CRO director, UX/UI designer, copywriter and other SWAT team members to develop hypotheses, propose treatments, collaboratively build tests, analyze results for key learnings and repeat.

Your days will be exciting and filled with variety. One day you might be optimizing a quiz in our performance funnels another day you may be optimizing a checkout or upsell page our e-comm website another day you might be optimizing the onboarding experience in our customized metabolic optimization app.

Whats Our Culture Like?

Were serious about high-performance, so our culture is built around deep work to allow uninterrupted time for the intense concentration needed to deliver world-class performance. At the same time, real collaboration and transparency is critical to keep us all in alignment and keep office politics out of the equation. These arent just talking points weve implemented specific policies, for example:

  • A standardized 8:30 to 5:00 p.m. ET schedule to protect your personal and family time
  • No meetings before 1 p.m. ET to empower you with 4 hours truly of deep work to GSD
  • Daily huddles and weekly 1-on-1s to support your ability to focus on what matters most

What Does Metabolic Living Do?

The most common question we get is what the heck do you do? Because from the outside in, unless youre a customer, it can be confusing, Theres a reason: We built everything organically in reverse, starting with our first nutrition program in 2012, then our first exercise program in 2014 and then launching our full ecosystem of products, including nutraceuticals, functional foods, subscriptions, memberships, 1-on-1 coaching and more. These are all marketed separately under different DTC websites and brands in a direct response (DR) manner.

And now were centralizing everything under our new brand, Metabolic Living, with our flagship website and app launching later this year, transitioning us from purely DR to a multi-channel traditional brand. The website at metabolicliving.com is a temporary one for COVID to raise $45k for frontline health workers. This website will be replaced with the fully branded e-commerce-driven one soon.

Normally, companies launch with a brand and then figure out how to make money. We did that in reverse pinpointing pain points, curating world-class products, validating product-market match, generating cash flow to self-fund our growth, creating our north star (see more below), building out our operational team along the way and then retrofitting the brand on top. Strange path, but here we are. Read our full story here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/metabolic-living/about/.

We provide the full ecosystem of products and services that help you quickly optimize your metabolism so you can feel, look and perform your best, every day yet without the yo-yo struggle of traditional approaches. Rather than a one-sized-fits-all approach like Paleo, Vegan, Keto, etc. we empower you with a flexible framework called our Metabolic OSTM thats 100% customized to you. It allows you to get results fast and to sustain those results as your body, mind and daily life changes as you age. Without this flexible framework, those rigid approaches ultimately backfire, leaving you worse off.
