WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Architect, build, and evolve the MCP / ACP ecosystem that exposes ABC Fitness capabilities as standardized, agent-consumable tools.

  • Design schemas, tool definitions, and abstraction layers that shield AI agents from the complexity and inconsistency of underlying systems while providing clean, structured, hallucination-resistant interfaces.

  • Define and implement reusable orchestration patterns for multi-step AI workflows, including tool use, validation, retries, state management, fallback handling, and long-running execution flows.

  • Build for deterministic execution by ensuring AI-driven tool interactions are predictable, safe, observable, auditable, and reversible where necessary.

  • Establish company-wide standards for AI interaction patterns, structured outputs, input/output validation, schema governance, and agent orchestration workflows.

  • Design and implement security, permissions, and access control patterns specifically for non-human actors and autonomous systems, including auditability, rate controls, and operational boundaries.

  • Build instrumentation and observability capabilities that trace agent interactions, identify schema friction, measure execution quality, and improve orchestration success rates over time.

  • Partner closely with API modernization, platform engineering, infrastructure, security, and SRE teams to define AI-ready integration patterns and ensure scalable production operations.

  • Lead technical design reviews and influence architecture decisions across teams building AI-native systems on the platform.

  • Define and document reusable patterns, reference implementations, SDKs, and paved paths that accelerate safe AI adoption across ABC Fitness.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • Typically 10+ years of software engineering experience, including deep expertise building distributed backend systems, APIs, orchestration layers, or platform infrastructure; experience in the broader 8–14 year principal range is most aligned for this level.

  • Proven experience designing and operating high-scale backend systems with strong understanding of state management, concurrency, reliability, and distributed execution patterns.

  • Strong understanding of how LLMs interact with tools and workflows, including schema design, structured outputs, predictable execution patterns, and orchestration reliability.

  • Deep expertise in abstraction design and wrapping legacy or complex systems with clean, scalable, and reusable interfaces.

  • Experience building workflow orchestration systems handling retries, failure states, long-running processes, and multi-step execution logic.

  • Demonstrated ability to define technical standards and influence engineering direction across multiple teams through architecture, design review, and strong engineering judgment.

  • Strong production mindset, including experience designing for observability, operational resilience, auditability, scalability, and performance optimization.

  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with Engineering, Product, Platform, Infrastructure, Security, and SRE teams.

  • A growth mindset and strong learning agility in a rapidly evolving AI and platform engineering landscape.

  • A One Team orientation: able to enable other engineering teams, establish scalable paved paths, and create reusable platform capabilities rather than isolated solutions.

AND IT'S GREAT TO HAVE

  • Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP), ACP patterns, LangChain, LangGraph, or similar AI orchestration frameworks.

  • Experience with middleware platforms, API gateways, service mesh architectures, or distributed control planes.

  • Experience building internal developer platforms, SDKs, or shared engineering tooling.

  • Experience implementing AI observability, tracing, prompt tracking, model evaluation, or orchestration telemetry systems.

  • Familiarity with policy enforcement, safe model execution, permissioning systems, and AI governance patterns in production environments.

  • Experience helping engineering organizations adopt new technical standards through documentation, mentoring, and reference implementations.

What Success Looks Like

  • The MCP / ACP layer becomes the standardized paved path for how AI agents interact with ABC business systems.

  • Product and platform teams can integrate new AI agents and workflows with core systems quickly, safely, and consistently.

  • AI workflows are reliable, observable, auditable, and secure in production environments.

  • Agent actions are fully permissioned, rate-limited, and operationally controlled to prevent unsafe or unintended behavior.

  • Platform standards reduce integration complexity and accelerate adoption of AI-native development patterns across engineering teams.

  • The connectivity layer directly enables new AI-powered product capabilities, intelligent services, and operational automation initiatives.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU:  

  • Purpose led company with a Values focused culture – Best Life, One Team, Growth Mindset 

  • Time Off – with our open PTO policy, you pick when you want time off when it’s best for you! 

  • Days of Disconnect – once a quarter, we take a collective breather and enjoy a day off together around the globe. #oneteam

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.

If the API is the "data," and the Agent is the "brain," the MCP/ACP Layer is the "hands." Without you, our AI can think but it cannot act. By building this layer, you enable ABC Fitness to move from "AI as a feature" to "AI as an employee
