Full-Stack Engineer

 

 About Hoop
 

 



 Hoop is on a mission to bring creativity and focus back to work. These days, task management is a job unto itself.  People have to write down tasks, rely on memory, attend back-to-back meetings all while having to keep the rest of the team in the loop, often manually. Hoop is the next generation of task and project management. With Hoop, much of the rote repetitive work is done by AI leaving people more time to do what they do best: focused and creative work. This starts with centralizing tasks across tools automatically, and evolves into teamwork that’s transparent, focused, and more intelligent.
