Our free, ad-supported app is central to our mission of providing accessible food tracking for all, and the majority of our users choose this option as they begin to live a healthier lifestyle. MyFitnessPal aims to enhance the user experience by incorporating premium ad formats that are not only engaging for users but also provide a significant revenue stream for the platform as our user base expands.

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. The team focuses on outcomes over outputs, prioritizing work based on MFP’s product vision and strategy using data and experimentation.

About the Team:

Our brand-new Ads team is dually focused on improving the existing Ads experience while exploring novel formats for advertising throughout the user journey. If you’re excited about driving meaningful business growth while delivering a delightful experience to our end users, we want you on our team!

Essential Duties:

As the Engineering Manager you’ll build and lead a talented team to deliver against the squad’s objectives to develop compelling, relevant advertising solutions that enable us to further monetize the free version of our app. Your primary focus is cultivating an environment where engineers thrive and collaborate effectively with product and design to achieve their goals, always with an eye towards balancing discovery-style exploration with strong delivery.

In your day-to-day, you’ll…

  • Partner closely with Product and Design, leveraging a variety of qualitative and quantitative tools to explore Ads solutions across our mobile and web apps

  • Work closely with your Tech Lead to ensure the team is making strong decisions that set us up for success as our ads footprint grows
  • Coach and develop your team, investing in individuals while keeping team health top-of-mind

Qualifications to be successful in this role: 

  • 6+ years experience leading engineering teams in close partnership with Product and Design, working iteratively with a deep focus on customer outcomes
  • Experience with programmatic advertising technology such as SSPs, DSPs, ad exchanges, and adtech platforms
  • Strong analytical focus and comfort working through tricky A/B testing and data attribution challenges, ideally in an Ads domain
  • Experience working cross functionally with a diverse set of stakeholders (legal, finance, etc) and familiarity with privacy by design principles
  • Experience working in data-intensive spaces, ideally with third parties and in collaboration with AI/ML teams
  • Experience leading consumer-facing development work focused on native iOS and Android apps using Agile principles and Scrum methodologies
  • Experience developing teams through mentorship and coaching
  • Knowledge of common patterns and software engineering and best practices: you’ve worked with high-traffic mobile applications and know how to build for scale
