Lead Software Developer em Portugal

Join ABC Fitness and become part of a culture that’s as ambitious as it is authentic. Let’s transform the future of fitness—together!

Our Values

Best Life

We believe great work begins with great people. That’s why our culture is built on respect, trust, and belonging. We create an inclusive environment where every team member can bring their authentic self to work—because diverse perspectives drive innovation and meaningful impact.

Growth Mindset

We are doers, thinkers, and dreamers. At ABC Fitness, your growth is our investment. Through continuous learning, mentorship, and professional development opportunities, we empower you to reach new heights—personally and professionally.

One Team

From day one, you’ll be part of a team that collaborates, celebrates, and cares. We move fast, support one another, and have fun along the way. Because when you thrive, we all thrive.

ABOUT THE TEAM

You’ll join CRM Ops, the engineering squad that owns CRM operations and segmentation on the ABC Glofox platform — including tags, audiences, tasks, and Member Aggregate, our segmentation engine. The team connects member and studio data to day-to-day CRM workflows so studios can reach the right people and turn engagement into measurable outcomes.

As we enhance our segmentation capabilities to support more use cases, you’ll need to be an expert at optimizing and developing complex MySQL queries for a system that serves ~130M active members and all their CRM needs (workflows, marketing campaigns, reporting and more). You’ll help set backend technical direction for XLerate, lead a small team of 2–3 engineers, and partner closely with Product.

You’ll also work closely with partner squads such as Connect, which powers automations and communications alongside CRM, to continue building XLerate, our next-generation CRM product and a major priority for ABC Fitness.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Provide technical guidance to a small team of 2–3 engineers — mentoring through design reviews, pairing, and thoughtful feedback

• Design and develop backend services in Golang, using AI coding tools as part of normal delivery, and keep ownership of the design and what reaches production

• Unblock the team by cutting repeated manual work with automation or AI-assisted tooling, and applying a review and test standard to anything that tooling produces.

• Write and optimize complex SQL queries for high-performance applications

• Handle large datasets and data-intensive workflows

• Guide backend technical approaches for CRM Ops / XLerate, unblocking the team and raising the quality bar

• Work with an energized, fun, friendly and customer-focused cross-functional team

• Collaborate with designers, developers, product managers, and testers to transform ideas into unique, human experiences for fitness entrepreneurs

• Use cutting edge Agile & Lean ways of working underpinned by DevOps and CI/CD

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or relevant field exp. preferred

• 5+ years of experience with a general-purpose programming language

• Hands-on experience using AI coding assistants or agents to deliver production software, including how you review and test the generated output

• Proven experience owning complex backend features or services; prior lead/senior ownership preferred, including leading a small engineering team

• 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 leading a small team of 2–3 engineers and partnering with Product

• Comfortable learning new technologies and systems

AND IT’S GREAT TO HAVE

• 2+ years experience with Java or Golang

• Deep experience with MySQL performance tuning at scale

• Experience with event-driven architectures or high-throughput APIs

• Prior CRM, marketing automation, or segmentation domain experience

• Familiarity with partnering across squads (e.g. communications/automations)

Compensation for this role will be determined based on a variety of factors, including relevant experience, qualifications, skills, geographic location, and market considerations. The anticipated compensation range for this position is –

278,000.00 – 320,000.00 PLN and 52,000.00 – 62,000.00 EUR- annually. In addition to base compensation, eligible employees may be offered other forms of compensation, such as bonuses, commissions, equity, or other incentive programs, where applicable. Compensation and benefits may vary by location and are subject to applicable legal, business, and market requirements.
