Core Performance is revolutionizing corporate wellness, delivering measurable results for leading global corporations through programs that offer unmatched levels of personalization, engagement and integration. Core Performance was developed by Athletes' Performance, the foremost source of innovation and results in elite athlete training, and is rooted in the most advanced research and science in the industry.
Our integrated approach to mindset, movement, nutrition and recovery allows employees of all walks of life to realize their previously impossible wellness goals.
Core Performance programs are delivered through leading-edge fitness centers (Core Performance Centers), on-site activation teams and comprehensive digital solutions using our proprietary CP Central software platform. All programs are powered by our industry-leading, patented IP and IT infrastructure, including our groundbreaking prescription engine software. Our offerings integrate seamlessly to effectively reach employees regardless of their work environment or fitness level, with our innovative, results-driven platforms designed to impact an entire organization from warehouse employees working long night-shifts to executives who log countless hours and miles on the road.
Given the applied research, development, and innovation of Athletes' Performance, corporate wellness team members have the unique opportunity to leverage the heritage, expertise, and results of the global leader in performance training, nutrition, and physical therapy. From its four elite facilities in Arizona, Southern California, Florida and Texas, Athletes' Performance trains the top Champions in Sports, including 14 2011 NFL first round picks, 14 2011 MLB All-Stars, and 3 of the final 16 teams in the 2010 World Cup, as well as elite military operators and leading teams globally.
Athletes' Performance Inc. (API), the parent company of both Athletes' Performance and Core Performance, is in a rapid growth stage with revenue doubling over the last two years and the company approaching 180 employees. Core Performance programming is rolled out at leading corporations including Intel, Cerner, Sheraton and State Street and is scaling quickly and successfully. In 2011, API was named one of Fast Company's 10 Most Innovative Companies in Sports, and API recently announced a growth investment/partnership with Walgreens Corporation. Walgreens' Take Care Health Systems subsidiary is the largest and most comprehensive manager of worksite health centers and in-store convenient care clinics, with more than 700 locations throughout the country. Additionally, since 2006, API has been backed by the leading venture capital firm of Polaris Venture Partners.

Position Overview:
Enjoy a good stretch? That's great, because keeping flexible goes with the territory in our applications development department. We have multiple platforms supporting applications that range from small prototypes to large legacy systems (well, legacy to us is only 4 years old!), and lots of data everywhere. Fortunately, almost all our most interesting data are in MySQL databases, so that's what we're looking for -- a MySQL data wrangler!
We will hire the right person to be the data steward of our many databases so he or she can streamline data flow for both operational and ad hoc information requests. We've got data -- people need data -- and you'll make it all happen. We can offer you a dynamic environment where details matter, where you can make a difference in the fitness and health of hundreds of thousands of people, where you materially affect how we make decisions, and where you'll join a team of passionate professionals who take quality and values seriously.
We want to talk with you if:
• You are a MySQL wizard: you have nightmares about unoptimized queries; you eat 100-table schemas for breakfast; explain doesn't hold many surprises for you; as soon as you hear about a new application you start sketching a schema on the nearest napkin; show you two related applications and you're thinking how to simplify things with ETL and ….
• You play well with others: you find that talking with other developers is more stimulating than frustrating -- same with talking with users, and even -- egads - managers. You'll be involved with satisfying requests for data from all types of people, so you have excellent communications skills and can adapt your vocabulary to the other person's comfort zone.
• You are tool oriented -- not only do you know the best tools for managing and accessing data, but if you have to write a program to do something, you'll build it in a way that make reuse and repurposing possible.
• You know more than just MySQL: you can branch and merge in SVN, you use other scripting languages to make things work (Python or Perl), and you know a thing or two about getting Linux to work the way you want.
• You have experience with designing and using OLAP and visualization tools (for example, the Pentaho suite, etc.)
• You have opinions on non-SQL databases we should consider when appropriate.
• You're familiar with the security issues in running database servers and services and you avoid the most prevalent vulnerabilities as a matter of course.
• You don't have to be a DBA-type person -- we're looking for someone to handle the information and the data more than the servers, but if you know a few configuration parameters to make things better, that's good too.
• You are disciplined enough to work efficiently, track your progress, meet your commitments, understand how to spend your time, and be responsible for your part.
• You're excited about making information and knowledge out of data for a wide range of needs from driving business growth to supporting primary and original research.
• You are comfortable (you might say “you prefer…”) an agile environment where proofs of concept, prototypes, and partial requirements abound.
• You understand our need for quality -- you have a demonstrated ability to consistently deliver accurate, efficient, and correct solutions to all problems: the API team is world-class in everything we do.
• You are driven to continually improve the way you do things, and hence the way we do things -- process is good.
Examples of problems you'll be solving:
• Help develop a new way to analyze the heart rate data we've stored for 4 years in order to produce new measures of how fitness changes over time.
• Design the schema for a new application that prototypes the delivery of light physical activities into the office workplace.
• Our resident statistician needs to determine whether the variations we are reporting of PulsePower™ is significant or not and needs the data to support their analysis.
• Our coaches in the field need a new measure of how much each facility gets used; they want to know which centers are growing and in which ways.
• Data warehouse? Cubes? What should we be doing strategically?
