Through modern vertical software, embedded payments, and AI-powered capabilities, we help businesses in fitness, recreation, golf and club, field services, laundry, education, and other membership-based and service-based industries simplify operations, uncover insights, and elevate customer and member experiences.

• Write and maintain unit, integration, and end-to-end tests.
• Review functional and technical documentation and improve where needed.
• Contribute to analysis of software projects including performance, diagnosis, and troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (QA, DevOps, Product) throughout the development lifecycle.
• Create and maintain documentation for developed APIs.
• Apply design patterns and best practices as needed.
• Have a keen eye for improving scalability, performance, security, and reliability.
• Participate in on-call rotations to support the production environment — usually a 2-week rotation (with support and shadowing as needed).
• Actively participate in mentorship programs and receive guidance from senior engineers, in order to grow your depth of knowledge.
