Senior Software Engineer (Backend) - TrainingPeaks

Senior Software Engineer

Join TrainingPeaks as a Senior Software Engineer on our Workout Data team and help build the future of endurance training.

At TrainingPeaks, we empower athletes and coaches to reach their goals through data-driven performance tools. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll play a key role in shaping the technical foundation of those tools. You'll take ownership of critical systems that process, store, and serve the workout data that drives our platform, from concept to deployment and beyond.

You'll dive into a dynamic stack, building scalable services, evolving APIs, and transforming modern architectures. You'll help ensure our platform performs reliably at scale, supporting the world's best endurance athletes and their coaches.

This isn't a role where you'll be handed specs and left in a silo. You'll be part of architecture discussions, mentor teammates, and bring new ideas to the table. You'll be encouraged to experiment, grow your skills, and lead meaningful improvements to our tech and our team. If you're passionate about clean code, system performance, and real-world impact, we want to hear from you.

You thrive on collaboration, continuous learning, and solving tough problems. You value craft, care deeply about product quality, and are motivated by the knowledge that your work helps real people achieve peak performance.

You will sit directly with the Engineering Team and report to the Manager, Engineering.
