The Role You’ll Play
- Build and maintain performant backend systems and applications that drive real-world experiences — especially the public and partner APIs studios, aggregators, and strategic accounts depend on
- Partner with Product, Partnerships and API Support to bring features to life from ideation through deployment, always iterating with the end-user in mind — here, that user is often an external developer or enterprise integrator
- Contribute to API platform work such as authentication and authorization, versioning, rate limiting, and changes that protect the experience our partners depend on
- Help keep existing integrations stable while we ship new capabilities — including compatibility across surfaces that share core Mindbody systems
- Improve webhook delivery, sandbox and onboarding flows, and the reliability of the developer portal so partners can integrate with confidence
- Champion engineering best practices—automated testing, peer reviews, observability, and elegant design
- Contribute to architecture decisions that prioritize scalability and simplicity
- Participate in production support using observability, on-call, and incident response for partner-facing APIs
- Seek feedback, iterate fast, and balance innovation with reliability
- Approach development with empathy—understanding how your work supports both our partners and their communities
- Mentor others and help foster a collaborative, inclusive engineering culture
Experience You Bring
- Expertise with languages like .NET, C#, Kotlin, Java, TypeScript, or JavaScript — with particular strength in backend services (our public API surface is .NET / C#)
- Experience designing APIs and working with microservice architecture; public or partner-facing API experience (REST or webhooks) is a plus
- Familiarity with API platform concerns such as versioning, rate limiting, API keys / OAuth 2.0, and backward-compatible changes is a plus
- Familiarity with observability tools like New Relic or Kibana
- Deep understanding of SQL and relational databases
- An agile mindset and a strong grasp of software development lifecycle practices
- Ability to navigate complexity, assess tradeoffs, and execute with confidence — including when a change could affect partner integrations
- Excellent communicator who brings others along and helps ideas stick, including Partnerships, Support, and engineering peers
Technologies you could be working with
- Languages and frameworks: C# and .NET / ASP.NET for our backend APIs, with some frontend work on the developer portal
- APIs and integration: REST, SOAP, Webhooks, OAuth 2.0, API keys
- Data: SQL Server and relational data modeling as the primary store; some NoSQL (MongoDB) for partner-facing services; Redis for caching
- Architecture and cloud: Microservices on AWS
- Monitoring: New Relic, Kibana
- We do not expect you to have used every technology on it. People join from other stacks and ramp quickly when they want to learn and adapt.
