What You Will Own

Gym, Studio, and Enterprise product engineering

You will lead engineering for the products and platforms that support the operational needs of gyms, studios, and enterprise fitness operators. You will ensure teams have clear ownership, sound technical direction, and strong execution across staff-facing workflows, platform capabilities, integrations, and enterprise account needs.

You will be accountable for ensuring these platforms are reliable, scalable, secure, and positioned to support the evolving needs of ABC Fitness customers.

AI-enabled SDLC transformation

You will lead the AI-enabled transformation of software development lifecycle practices within the Gym, Studio, and Enterprise engineering organization. In partnership with the VP focused on engineering enablement, peer VPs, and senior technical leaders, you will help your teams adopt shared tools, practices, and operating models that improve productivity, quality, delivery predictability, documentation, testing, release management, and production support.

This role is not limited to tool rollout. It requires helping teams evolve how they plan, build, test, release, measure, and continuously improve software using AI responsibly and effectively.

Global engineering leadership

You will lead a globally distributed engineering organization with team members across North America, Brazil, Europe, and India. You will establish leadership systems, communication practices, planning rhythms, and operating models that keep teams aligned across time zones, cultures, and product areas.

You will be responsible for building clarity, trust, accountability, and shared context across distributed teams while ensuring leaders and engineers remain connected to ABC Fitness priorities and customer outcomes.

You will also work closely with the CTO and other leaders across ABC Fitness to strengthen collaboration, align engineering practices, and build a successful team within your portfolio and across the broader ABC Fitness organization.

Operational excellence, reliability, and quality

You will be accountable for improving the operational health of the systems in your portfolio. This includes reliability, observability, incident response, release quality, regression discipline, service ownership, and production support practices.

You will create mechanisms to identify recurring customer and operational pain, prioritize systemic fixes, and reduce the need for repeated escalations. You will help teams build a culture of ownership where quality, reliability, and maintainability are treated as core product outcomes.

Platform modernization and technical health

You will lead modernization efforts across current and legacy platforms, balancing customer commitments with long-term architectural improvement. You will help teams make pragmatic technical decisions, reduce technical debt, simplify integrations, and improve the scalability and maintainability of ABC Fitness platforms.

You will work with architecture, security, infrastructure, and product leaders to ensure the portfolio has the technical foundations needed to support growth, enterprise needs, and future product innovation.

Talent, culture, and leadership development

You will lead, coach, and develop engineering directors, managers, architects, and senior technical leaders. You will create clarity around roles, responsibilities, decision-making, and accountability across the organization.

You will be responsible for organizational design, talent planning, hiring, succession planning, performance management, and leadership development. You will build a culture that values ownership, collaboration, technical excellence, customer focus, inclusion, and continuous improvement.
