When I joined WHOOP as a Backend Software Engineer co-op, I was excited about AI but mostly in the abstract. I had seen demos and read about emerging models. What I had not experienced yet was what it takes to bring AI into a real product in a way that feels trustworthy, secure, supportive, and genuinely helpful to members. At WHOOP, I had the chance to work on exactly that. Over my co-op, I contributed to three major areas of the AI experience: expanding AI across the app, designing onboarding for new members, and developing proactive insights after workouts. Along the way, I learned that the hard part is not just getting AI to “work”, it is making it feel human, responsible, and aligned with the mission to unlock human performance.

Hey! I’m Kevin Polackal, and for the past 8 months I’ve had the chance to dive into the world of health and wearable technology as a Backend Software Engineer co-op at WHOOP. From my first PR to today, these months have marked a huge period of growth, and I’m writing this post to share why WHOOP is such a special place to work.

My name is Jack Rosen, and I just finished an 8-month co-op as an iOS developer. Although that was my official title, I was given opportunities to do so much more than just write code for the iOS app.
