Withings Careers

The platform team ensures the security of our data and enables the transfer of data between our products, mobile applications and databases.

The team is divided into three entities:

• Ops: in charge of server management, databases, code deployment and network infrastructure.
• Web Apps: develops the web version of the application and the front end of our internal tools
• Web Services & APIs: handles internal and public web services for information storage and retrieval

The Data team is involved from the product design stage to help craft key product functionalities. Their primary role is to collect, store, and process product data to create and improve our algorithms. The Data team collaborates on a daily basis with the technical teams and participates in all projects, even the most ambitious ones.

Data Science is agile and proactive, dealing with many core issues thanks to their central position in the product life cycle.

This team is in charge of all the software implemented in our products.

Integrated from the beginning in the product lifecycle, the team participates in the choice of components. They must communicate with each of the departments and adapt to their specific needs: sensors of all kinds, algorithms, interactions with our Health Mate application and with our servers. Once our products are marketed, the team continues to take care of them by incorporating new functionalities (algorithms, screens...) and helps assist customer support.

The Mobile team develops and improves our Health Mate application, but also Thermo, Home and all applications for internal use.

The Health Mate application, available for both iOS and Android, is a Withings product in its own right, at the heart of a complex ecosystem. Able to operate offline, it can communicate with all our connected objects, process the data retrieved in this way and present it to our users. Each health universe is optimised to add intelligence to the raw data and allow our users to take control of their health. With over a million users, the mobile team helps people literally take their health into their own hands.

Working closely with our team in Hong Kong, our factories in China, and our watchmakers in Issy, the Industrialization team is the link between the technical teams and the production lines.

Shaped by software and hardware profiles, they are true professionals of the organization. Coordinators of the production lines in Asia and Issy-les-Moulineaux, they help ensure our quality. The team is the interface between the factories and all the product teams. This team also spearheads innovations that assist in the development of our products and production lines, and continually impresses us with clever solutions to each new challenge.

This team imagines and designs each of the mechanical components of our products. Working closely with a design studio, mechanics draws and validates them before supervising their production and assembly at our sub-contractors. Mechanics then helps supervise production and enjoys the excitement of a relatively short product development cycle.

Specializing in customer service, this team is spread over several continents: Europe, America and Asia.

Its role is to support our customers and improve their experience with our products, applications and purchasing. They answer questions from users through all communication channels to help us provide a positive and efficient image. They write technical articles to guide users and follow the product throughout its life (before, during and after marketing). Their expertise is key to ensuring quality and they help guide the call centers meet a common objective: the satisfaction of our customers.

The mission of the team is to deliver Withings products to our customers while respecting cost and deadline constraints.

It works in conjunction with customs and the carriers who transport our products from Asia to our distribution centers. It manages our warehouses on a daily basis so that they prepare and dispatch the orders of our partners and users, and use performance indicators to help enable cost savings. This team also takes care of the return flow so that our products can have a second life. One part of the team helps take care of the relationship with our resellers (e.g. Amazon, Apple, Best Buy) and ensures order taking, invoicing and dispute management.

Applied research engineers create the medical measurements for our products. The variety of techniques calls for very different profiles: optics, acoustics, chemistry, materials, telecoms, and more. They need to test competing products, work with prestigious labs and research institutes, and get to learn subjects outside their training.

R&D is involved throughout the life of a product. Upstream, they explore new ideas or new sensors and produce prototypes and proofs of concept. They then develop this measurement, with a metrology part, and an engineering part, where they integrate the hardware components into a consumer product. Finally, they conduct the clinical studies necessary for the calibration and validation of these measurements. They are deeply involved in development, collaborating with internal teams, as well as with doctors and researchers.

Responsible for distributing our products in different countries, Sales is in constant contact with international retailers (Amazon, Apple, BestBuy, Fnac Darty, etc.) and are always looking for the best new distributors.

Focused on growing our market share in brick and mortar and online, they make our products accessible to the general public. Outstanding negotiators, they enable global sales and help resellers with innovative and creative assets that win them new customers.

This team implements the electronic functions of the products, finding the best components for the product teams to create the design and routing of the electronic boards. They work closely with the software team to optimize the operation, and then with the industrialization team to carry out their work in the factory.

They get a lot of credit for helping with our renowned battery life, and can enjoy a variety of products in development.

Based in Paris and Hong Kong, this team is at the heart of the product life cycle, helping us procure the best possible components.

A real link between engineers and suppliers, they define the methods, means and tools needed to manage the supplier supply chain and the materials used for all our products.

By being in charge of the entire manufacturing chain of our products, they guarantee high quality in production. They are also the guarantors of checks in our factories to ensure optimal delivery and production for all our products.

This team is the guarantor of the proper functioning of our applications and the products delivered to our customers.

Quality is always testing the products from top to bottom to ensure that they are satisfactory on the hardware or software side.

Working closely with all the development teams from the beginning of the project until its release, they remain involved once the product is delivered by analyzing customer feedback, testing updates, and proposing solutions to ensure that product quality is always optimal.

How can connected products be integrated into medical practice to improve the screening and ambulatory follow-up of chronic patients?

Our New Health Businesses division is working to answer this question. In concrete terms, our employees establish partnerships with players in the healthcare world such as medical institutions (hospitals, clinics, EHPAD, etc.), research institutes, patient monitoring programs , pharmaceutical groups, insurance companies, and more.

It is a multidisciplinary team where strategy, research, products, sales, marketing and support functions work side by side.

The product team consists of three business areas: PM product, PM application and services, and UX/UI designers. Product Managers build the best possible user experience for the product or service for which they are responsible. They also coordinate product functionality development while taking into account deadlines, costs, competition, medical regulations, clinical validation, and intellectual property.

They are involved in every stage of the product lifecycle including conception with the design and development teams,evolution with the marketing, sales and customer support teams, and completion to market withdrawal.

Product managers’ expertise ranges from engineering to marketing with a strong business sense and obsession for the user experience. This collection of skills makes the team a strong and close-knit group!

The HR team supports the company's strategy on a daily basis. The team's missions are wide-ranging: recruitment, leading internal culture (celebrations! tech talks! good coffee!), personnel administration, training, HR marketing, and more. HR works with all employees to ensure a healthy working environment.

The team is made up of several profiles that enable the company to work strategically and operationally to preserve our greatest asset: our employees.

Once our brilliant minds invent, test, develop and produce groundbreaking new health products and services, it’s up to Marketing to make them understandable and appealing to retailers, partners, medical professionals, and of course, our users. This team uses a variety of levers to communicate: PR, social media, events, online advertising, video, CRM tools, retail marketing, content and influence marketing.

As we sell our products in more than 30 countries, marketing must adapt its strategy to each culture and language, while ensuring a strong and consistent voice. In order to support a truly innovative brand whose mission is to improve people’s health, they need creativity, curiosity, and a real interest in health and our user’s needs. With several new products launched each year, they continuously uncover new and exciting ways to talk about the brand.

The finance team consists of accounting and business control. The accounting team takes care of the invoices and all the legally required declarations and must check the veracity of the financial information communicated.

The Business Control team monitors each and every expense and analyses them to ensure the sustainability of the company.

The team is also responsible for checking the turnover and profitability of each customer and/or product in order to help the sales and marketing teams maximise their investments. The legal department, meanwhile, is a control tower offering a 360-degree view of the legal commitments of the various other departments.

It accompanies them in ensuring the best defence of their interests. Together, finance and legal support the company's innovation and research efforts.
