This is a Principal Software Developer role across the CRM space on the ABC Glofox platform, setting technical direction for shared CRM capabilities used by multiple engineering teams including CRM Ops (CRM operations and segmentation: tags, audiences, tasks, and member filtering) and Connect (automations and communications), and providing technical partnering with other squads as needed.
You’ll help set technical direction beyond any single feature team - raising the bar for architecture, reliability, and operability across CRM data paths and product delivery - while staying close to the systems that serve ~130M active members and turn engagement into measurable outcomes for studios.

Guide technical alignment with Leads, Product, and teams such as CRM Ops and Connect to align technical bets with XLerate outcomes
Mentor Engineers and technical leads across the CRM domain; unblock the hardest technical problems through design reviews and hands-on guidance
Lead diagnosis and resolution of the highest-severity, cross-team Customer Incidents in the CRM space - coordinating CRM Ops, Connect, and partner squads, driving the technical fix, and leaving the system more operable than you found it
Shape and set practical standards for how AI is used across XLerate delivery and product surfaces: raise the bar for safe, evidence-based use of AI in engineering (and, where relevant, member/studio-facing CRM workflows), without treating it as a side project.
Identify, prioritize and land platform improvements that reduce systemic risk and accelerate delivery across the CRM domain
Strengthen engineering execution through CI/CD, production readiness, observability, continuous improvement and through ways of working
Set technical direction for large-scale platform migrations and integrations (including Gymsales → Glofox and cross-platform ABC integrations), including migration tooling, data cutover, and dual-run / coexistence strategies
Shape webhook and third-party integration architecture that partner products and external systems rely on
QUALIFICATIONS:
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or relevant field exp. preferred
8+ years of software engineering experience, with proven staff/principal-level technical impact required
Deep systems design experience for distributed, data-intensive products that affect multiple teams and services
Strong judgment on architecture trade-offs, production readiness, and long-term maintainability
Solid understanding of the practical application of agile development methods in an Agile/Lean/Continuous Delivery environment
Knowledge of modern Quality and Testing principles
Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable influencing technical direction across teams, document architectural decisions and align senior engineering and product stakeholders
Comfortable learning new technologies and systems
Hands-on experience designing and delivering large data/platform migrations (tooling, cutover, rollback, and operability under dual-run)
Experience establishing engineering standards across multiple squads
AND IT’S GREAT TO HAVE:
Experience with Golang and/or Java services at scale
Deep experience with large MySQL / relational data platforms
Experience with no-SQL DBs (e.g. MongoDB)
Prior CRM, marketing-tech, or audience/segmentation domain experience
Experience with query federation / distributed querying systems
Track record leading complex, multi-team incident or production-fix work (not only in-squad bugs)
Practical experience applying AI in software delivery or CRM/marketing-tech products, with judgment on quality, privacy, and operability
