As a member of our MyFitnessPal Engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to positively impact those users by leading a cross-functional team of Android, Backend, iOS, and Web engineers for a Product Squad.

To effectively coach, you must care about each team member individually and aid them in both their personal growth and their ability to work as a team. You will coach engineers using weekly one-on-ones, building trust and delivering feedback with kind candor. You must lead by example, embodying our three engineering values: 

  • Build with Others, for Others
  • Focus on Impact
  • Learn and Iterate

Qualifications to be successful in this role: 

  • 6+ years experience leading an engineering team in the Product Operating Model as an Engineering Manager or Technical Lead, quickly validating hypotheses through a range of testing tactics
  • Strong foundation in A/B testing-based product iterations
  • Experience leading consumer-facing development work focused on native iOS and Android apps using Agile principles and Scrum methodologies
  • A track record of collaborative partnership with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to plan, execute, and deliver projects
  • Enjoys helping other teammates grow through mentorship and coaching
  • Have knowledge of common patterns and software engineering and best practices
  • Have experience working with high traffic, scalable mobile applications 
  • Have a strong bias to action and proven ability to make decisions quickly using a variety of inputs
  • Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills
  • A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or similar field, or equivalent real-world experience
