UX/UI Designer - Build a Fitness & Nutrition App for the Outcome-Obsessed
Remote (working core hours in Eastern Time - Toronto)
Read this first:
If you landed here looking for a bulleted list of “5+ years of X” and “must love stand-ups at 9,” keep scrolling. TNS isn’t hiring a resume, we’re recruiting a mind on a mission. We’ll hand you a greenfield, a crystal-clear roadmap, and a founder who’s already laid down much of the core science and decision logic. You’ll own complete user flows, front-to-back, and craft your own dream-job description, detailing how you’d spend each day.
Who we are:
TNS is the lab-grade fitness and nutrition app for people who refuse to leave results to luck. Our self-funded startup pairs 25 years of elite coaching expertise with modern EC2-based cloud infrastructure to wipe out the guesswork in training, nutrition, recovery and more. After months of talking to real users and pressure-testing product-market fit, we’re ready to transform a dialed-in roadmap and validated algorithms into a launch-ready product that will become irreplaceable.
Why we exist:
Mission: Eliminate guesswork in fitness and nutrition for the outcome-obsessed.
Vision: Redefine the way ambitious people manage health and performance. We see a future where fragmented tools are obsolete, and everyone serious about their outcomes runs their body like a system, powered by unified, responsive, research-grade infrastructure.
Our tech playground:
AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront), Docker, Nginx, Node.js (Fastify + uWebSockets.js), Next.js (TypeScript), React Native (TypeScript), PostgreSQL, Redis, Keycloak, GitLab CI/CD, Sentry, PostHog, Square APIs, n8n, Figma, OpenAI
We’ve made the critical architecture calls; you’ll drive the refinement, resilience, and relentless automation that turns good code into a category-killer platform.
How we think and work:
Only the Obsessed | User Experience is Sacred | Science > Hype
Radical Honesty | No Second-Stringers | Respect > Rank
Positive Force Only | Craft is Character | No Tactics Over Truth
Human + AI > Human Alone | AI-Accelerated Craft
We Are Mission-Critical
If those lines make you nod, not cringe, you’ll thrive here.
What’s in it for you:
• Transparent salary: $90,000 - $125,000 CAD from day one, recalibrated annually to reflect the impact you deliver.

• Premium health benefits: 100 % employer-paid after your 90-day ramp.
