Senior Software Developer

Overview

Senior Software Developer role at ABC Fitness Solutions focused on owning meaningful production features end to end, making sound engineering decisions, and guiding other engineers.

What you'll do

• Connect engineering work to customer outcomes by learning how customers and staff use the product, including its important workflows, constraints, and known limitations.
• Use product and business metrics to help the team decide what to build, prioritize, and measure whether a change helped.
• Participate in customer or support discussions when your technical context can help clarify the problem and identify an actionable next step.
• Turn an unclear problem into a shared plan, a sensible technical approach, and a clear definition of done.
• Stay with the feature through design, implementation, testing, rollout, monitoring, and follow-up instead of treating release as the finish line.
• Coordinate with Product, Design, Test, and adjacent teams so dependencies, decisions, and owners are visible early.
• Make technical decisions within the team's domain across service structure, APIs, data, reliability, security, observability, and maintainability.
• Record important choices, alternatives, trade-offs, and deferred work so other engineers can understand and build on the decision.
• Choose solutions that support the wider system, not only the quickest local implementation.
• Write readable, maintainable production code with appropriate unit, integration, and contract coverage.
• Design useful logs, metrics, dashboards, and alerts so the team can understand how a change behaves in production.
• Investigate complex problems across services and database layers, identify root causes, and keep the team oriented while resolving them.
• Share status, risks, dependencies, owners, and next steps before others have to ask.
• Explain technical trade-offs to Product and customer impact to non-engineering partners without relying on internal jargon.
• Question the problem before implementation begins and recommend a path forward when requirements or constraints are unclear.
• Coach junior and mid-level engineers through reviews, pairing, design discussions, and constructive feedback.
• Help the team turn retrospectives, story mapping, and improvement ideas into decisions and follow-through.
• Share useful improvements beyond the immediate feature when they can help another squad or engineering community.
• Use AI-assisted development tools where they improve speed or clarity, while independently validating correctness, security, maintainability, and test coverage.
• Understand and take ownership of every change that reaches production, regardless of how the initial code or test suggestion was produced.

What you'll need

• Demonstrated experience taking production software from an unclear problem through design, implementation, release, and follow-up.
• Strong hands-on experience developing and maintaining Java applications and services in a production environment.
• Experience with a modern Java framework, such as Spring or Spring Boot, and with designing maintainable service and API boundaries.
• Solid relational database skills, including SQL, schema design, indexing, transactions, migrations, query-performance troubleshooting, and choosing appropriate data-access patterns.
• An understanding of when relational data is the right fit and when a document, key-value, search, or other persistence approach may be appropriate.
• Experience designing or integrating REST APIs and, where relevant, asynchronous messaging or event-driven workflows.
• A practical testing approach that includes unit tests and the appropriate integration, contract, or end-to-end tests for the change.
• Experience with production observability, including structured logging, metrics, tracing, dashboards, and incident or problem investigation.
• Working knowledge of secure software practices, including authentication, authorization, secrets, data protection, and safe handling of customer information.
• Clear written and spoken communication with engineers, Product, Support, and other partners in a distributed or cross-functional environment.
• A record of helping other engineers grow through feedback, pairing, code review, or technical guidance.
• Equivalent practical experience is welcome; demonstrated capability is assessed rather than a degree or a strict years-of-experience cutoff.

Nice to have

• Experience in fitness, wellness, membership, subscription, booking, or other customer workflow products.
• Experience with cloud-hosted services, containers, CI/CD pipelines, and production release automation.
• Experience with NoSQL or search technologies, and performance or scalability improvements.
• Experience working with AI-assisted development practices and helping teammates validate AI-generated code safely.
