Overview

ABC Fitness is building an intelligent platform for the fitness industry, with AI embedded into the products, workflows, and decision points our customers rely on every day. Our strategy is focused on using AI to automate routine work, personalize experiences, surface actionable insights, and help operators move from reactive management to proactive, data-informed execution. We are investing in the platform, data, and product capabilities required to deliver secure, scalable AI experiences that improve efficiency, strengthen engagement, and drive better business outcomes.

Why This Matters

ABC Fitness is building toward an AI-native future by developing agentic experiences, intelligent workflow automation, and platform-level capabilities that turn data and models into action. The work spans recommendation systems, orchestration, embedded intelligence, and scalable AI-powered product experiences that directly influence how customers acquire, serve, retain, and grow their members. It is an opportunity to build applied AI in production, at meaningful scale, on problems that matter to customers every day.

Build internal AI tools that help development teams move faster, safer, and smarter.

ABC Fitness is investing in internal AI-powered platforms that enable our engineering teams to build, ship, understand, andoperatesoftware more effectively. This role is focused on creatingthe software, systems, and workflows that make AI a practical force multiplier for development teams across the company.

As a Principal AI Engineer, you will build and evolve internal software platforms that use AI to support complex development workflows, improve visibility into software changes, and help engineering teams deliver software with greater speed, quality, and confidence.These tools help development teams understand what has changed across applications, automate complex engineering processes, and safely incorporate AI into day-to-day software development.

This is a software engineering role focused on AI enablement. You will not simply experiment with prompts or build one-off AI features. You will build production-grade internal platforms that help development teams function more effectively.

WhatYou’llDo

Build AI-powered internal development tools

Design and ship internal software platforms that help engineering teams understand, automate, and improve the software development lifecycle.

Enable development teams through platform capabilities

Create reusable tools, APIs, workflows, and interfaces that allow teams to adopt AI-assisted development patterns without needing to build everything from scratch.

Improve software change intelligence

Build systems that connect events from CI/CD, deployments, approvals, security scans, quality gates, source control, work tracking systems, and service dependency data into a coherent view of software change across the organization.

These systems should help teams answer questions such as: What version is in production? What shipped last week? Who approved thisdeploy? Whatchanged? What depends on this service?

Build durable AI workflow infrastructure

Design and implement infrastructure for long-running AI-assisted workflows, including planning, execution, validation, branching, human-in-the-loop pauses, tool use, checkpoints, and durable state.

These capabilities will support complex development workflows such as code review, change analysis, release support, planning, remediation, and other multi-step engineering processes.

Build for reliability, observability, and scale

Ensure internal AI platforms are production-ready, observable, cost-aware, and resilient, with strong tracing, state management, failure handling, and operational visibility.

Create the paved path for AI-enabled engineering

Define patterns, abstractions, and best practices that make it easier for development teams tosafely and consistently use AIin their day-to-day workflows.

Partner across engineering, platform, security, and product

Work closely with development teams to understand their workflows,identifyleverage points, and build tools that remove friction from software delivery.

What This Is Not

This is not a research role focused on training models from scratch.

This is not a role building isolated AI features fora single productline.

This is notpromptexperimentation without ownership of production systems.

This is not apurelyadvisory or architecture-only role.

This is a hands-on software engineering role focused on building AI-enabled internal tools for development teams.

What You Bring

Strong software engineering fundamentals

You have deep experience building production-grade backend systems, APIs, workflow engines, internal platforms, developer tools, or distributed systems.

Experience building tools for engineers

You understand developer workflows and have built systems that improve engineering velocity, reliability, delivery quality, or operational awareness.

AI systems experience

You have built or integrated LLM-powered systems, agentic workflows, retrieval patterns, tool-use flows, or AI-assisted automation in production or near-production environments.

Agentic Software Delivery Patterns

Experience understanding and applying emerging agentic software delivery patterns, including graph-based coding-agent workflows, non-interactive coding agents, and software-factory-style approaches.

Platform mindset

You think in terms of reusable capabilities, paved paths, shared abstractions, durable systems, and long-term adoption across engineering teams.

Workflow and orchestrationexpertise

You understand how to manage state, execution, retries, branching, validation, and human gates in complex multi-step systems.

Production mindset

Youdesign forreliability, observability, security, cost, latency, and maintainability from the beginning.

Bias toward enablement

You care about helping other engineers move faster anddobetter work. You build tools that are practical, usable, and adopted.

Bonus Points

Experience building internal developer platforms, CI/CD systems, deployment tooling, workflow engines, service catalogs, or software delivery intelligence platforms.

Experience with agentic workflow systems, graph-based execution, durable orchestration, or human-in-the-loop automation.

Experience with LLM observability, evaluation, prompt/version tracking, model routing, or cost controls.

Experience integrating with source control, work tracking systems, CI/CD platforms, deployment systems, security scanners, or service dependency graphs.

Experience withOpenTelemetry, platform portals, internal control planes, or developer experience tooling.

What Success Looks Like

Development teams move faster

Teams can use internal AI tools to plan, review,validate, ship, and understand changes with less manual effort and fewer handoffs.

Software change becomes easier to understand

Teams have clear, reliable answers to questions about what shipped, when it shipped, who approved it, what changed, and what depends on it.

AI-assisted workflows become durable and trustworthy

Long-running AI workflows can execute reliably,pause forhumans, resume safely, branch when needed, and provide clear visibility into what happened.

Internal tools become the default path

AI-enabled internal platform capabilities become trusted parts of how engineering teams build, ship, andoperatesoftware.

AI improves engineering leverage

AI becomes embedded in the way development teams work, not as isolated experiments, but as reliable internal software that improves delivery, quality, and operational confidence.

Why This Matters

Engineering teams are most effective when they have great tools. At ABC Fitness, we are building internal AI-powered platforms that help developers understand systems, automate complex workflows, and deliver software with greater confidence.

If we get this right, AI will not be a collection of disconnected experiments. It will become part of the internal engineering fabric: helping teams ship better software, move faster, andoperatewith more clarity.
