Deepinder Goyal's Temple is hiring, but with an unusual condition
Zomato founder and former Eternal CEO Deepinder Goyal on Friday announced a hiring drive for Temple, his new wearable technology company, through a post on X. The company says it is building a performance-tracking wearable device aimed at elite athletes, claiming it will measure metrics that no existing wearable can, at a new level of precision.
"To build it, we need people who are obsessive about both the craft and the category. Engineers who are also athletes. People who will wear what they build, and hate it until it's perfect," his post read.
The startup, which caught attention when Goyal was seen sporting its tech on his temple on various occasions, is looking to hire for a wide range of technical roles, from hardware and electronics to brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and neural decoding.
However, the announcement has one unusual requirement: male applicants must have a body fat percentage below 16% while the requirement is 26% for females. Those who do not currently meet this threshold but are willing to reach it within three months may still apply, though they would remain on probation until they do, the company said.
The hiring list also includes Analog and Electronics Design Engineers, Embedded Systems Engineers, Sensor Algorithm and Deep Learning Engineers, Computational Neuroscientists, Computer Vision Engineers, and Neuroimaging ML Engineers. The company is also looking for product managers who can work independently in the design software Figma without designer support.
