Strava Careers

Strava is a digital fitness company that operates a popular social platform for athletes, primarily focused on running, cycling, and other endurance sports. Founded in 2009 by Mark Gainey and Michael Horvath, and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Strava enables users to track workouts via GPS, analyze performance metrics, and share activities with a global community. The platform combines fitness tracking with social networking features, allowing athletes to follow friends, join clubs, participate in challenges, and compare performance on user-created route segments.

Often described as the "social network for athletes," Strava has grown to serve more than 100 million users worldwide and employs several hundred people. The company monetizes through a subscription service that unlocks advanced training analytics, route planning, and safety features. Strava is widely recognized for its influential global activity heatmap data and strong brand presence in the endurance sports community. In recent years, the company has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions such as FATMAP, enhancing mapping and outdoor adventure features for athletes and explorers.
