Role Overview

Purpose Brands, the parent company of Orange theory, Anytime Fitness, Waxing the City, The Bar Method, and Basecamp Fitness, is seeking a Software Development Engineer IV to join its team. This is a great position for someone who is looking to expand their career and join a company with a fun, fast‑paced, inspirational culture.

We are looking for a Software Engineer and Tech Lead who combines strong hands‑on development with the judgment to guide technical decisions. You'll own both the code and the direction.

• Architect and build scalable, performant front‑end applications using React and Next.js on AWS. Make thoughtful decisions about component architecture, state management, performance optimization, and browser compatibility.
• Lead by example through high‑quality code and clear technical judgment. Guide the team through architectural decisions, conduct collaborative code reviews, and mentor engineers on complex front‑end problems.
• Participate actively in planning meetings to understand product goals and user needs. Shape and verify technical requirements, identifying risks and trade‑offs early, and pushing back when necessary.
• Own features from conception through production—working with product and design to understand requirements, building and testing solutions, and supporting deployment and monitoring.
• Ensure the stability and performance of front‑end systems through proactive monitoring, debugging, and addressing production issues. Drive improvements in build times, bundle size, and runtime performance.
• Work across the full stack when needed, collaborating with backend and infrastructure teams to ensure cohesive solutions. Understand how front‑end decisions impact overall system architecture.
• Maintain clear technical documentation on architectural patterns, decision‑making processes, and system behavior to help the team move faster and make informed decisions.

• 5+ years of professional front‑end development experience with demonstrated technical leadership.
• Broad technical knowledge across the full stack (backend, infrastructure, databases) and proven ability to execute effectively across diverse technologies and domains.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• Deep proficiency in React and JavaScript/Type Script. Strong understanding of component architecture, state management, performance optimization, and modern front‑end patterns.
• Hands‑on experience with Next.js and AWS. Proven ability to lead code reviews, mentor engineers, and articulate technical trade‑offs to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Experience optimizing front‑end systems for performance and scale.

• Ability to write high‑quality code and deliver features end‑to‑end with strong technical judgment and attention to performance and maintainability.
• Can design scalable front‑end systems, identify technical debt and performance bottlenecks, and propose solutions that balance innovation with pragmatism.
• Leads through example and clear communication—elevating code quality through collaborative review, mentoring engineers on complex problems, and building confidence in technical direction.
• Articulates technical decisions and trade‑offs clearly to both engineers and non‑technical stakeholders, helping the team understand the "why" behind technical choices.
• Works effectively across teams without relying on authority. Comfortable with cross‑functional collaboration and making sound decisions under ambiguity.
• Demonstrates breadth across the full tech stack and comfort operating effectively with diverse technologies. Stays current with evolving tools while maintaining pragmatic judgment about what matters.
