Job Details

Purpose Brands, the parent company of Orangetheory, Anytime Fitness, Waxing the City, The Bar Method, and Basecamp Fitness, is seeking a highly skilled Software Development Engineer to architect and build cloud native solutions in a collaborative and fast-paced environment. This is a great position for someone who is looking to expand their career, and join a company with a fun, fast-paced and inspirational culture.

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer who combines strong technical execution with the ability to work independently. Working collaboratively and effectively with cross-functional teams is a necessity. You'll will be responsible for owning both the code, as well as the project delivery. In this role, you'll spend significant time architecting and building robust backend systems-developing Java Spring APIs backends and backends-for-frontends. You will also be leveraging Python to build AWS infrastructure as code. You'll help set the standard for code quality while ensuring the team maintains high standards as we grow the architecture together. In addition to the main role responsibilities, you may also be given leadership responsibilities to manage near-shore and off-shore contractors if the project needs demand it.

Purpose/Impact: (Duties & Essential Functions)

• Architecture and Design: Design and architect scalable, distributed backend systems and microservices that handle enterprise-level workloads. Lead technical design reviews and contribute to platform architecture decisions that impact multiple teams. Evaluate system trade-offs and propose solutions that balance performance, scalability, cost, and maintainability. Make thoughtful decisions about system boundaries, data flow, and integration patterns that support long-term system evolution.
• API Development: Architect and build scalable, performant Java Spring APIs. Design RESTful services with thoughtful consideration of API contracts, data modeling, error handling, and integration patterns. Ensure code quality through comprehensive testing and maintainable architecture. Design for both synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns as appropriate to the problem domain.
• Collaborative Engineering: Collaborate effectively with product managers, designers, and other engineers when needed to understand requirements, design solutions, and ensure cohesive system integration. Participate in code reviews, share knowledge with the team, and contribute to technical discussions that shape our architecture.
• System Reliability: Ensure the stability and performance of backend systems through proactive monitoring, debugging, and addressing production issues. Drive improvements in system performance, scalability, and maintainability. Document architectural decisions and system behavior to help the team move faster.
• Independent Project Delivery: Work independently to deliver on project needs, taking ownership from requirements through deployment. Proactively identify and address technical challenges, making sound decisions under ambiguity while keeping stakeholders informed of progress and blockers.

Strengths and Background

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• Experience: 5+ years of professional software development experience with demonstrated ability to deliver projects independently. Additionally, experience working with globally distributed teams or contractors is preferred.
• Technical Skills: Deep proficiency in Java and the Spring framework for building RESTful APIs. Strong understanding of object-oriented design principles, design patterns, and software architecture. Solid understanding of cloud computing concepts and AWS services.
• Specialized Skills: Experienced with Python for infrastructure automation and AWS infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK). Experience with version control systems (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and containerization technologies. Familiarity with database design and DynamoDB. Familiarity with event-driven architectures leveraging AWS SQS/SNS is a plus.

COMPETENCIES

• Technical Execution: Ability to write high-quality, maintainable code and deliver features end-to-end with strong technical judgment. Demonstrates attention to code quality, testing, and system reliability while meeting project deadlines.
• Independent Problem Solving: Works autonomously to identify solutions, make technical decisions, and deliver on project needs without constant supervision. Balances independence with appropriate escalation and collaboration when needed.
• Collaboration & Influence: Works effectively across teams and with globally distributed colleagues. Comfortable with cross-functional collaboration and making sound decisions under ambiguity.
• Technical Leadership: Can lead projects and engineers effectively, providing clear direction, coordinating work across time zones, and ensuring quality standards.
