Balance product platform delivery with foundational improvements to core services and mobile clients, ensuring scalability, reliability, and long-term sustainability
Take a hands-on approach to delivery management, maintaining a healthy backlog, prioritizing technical debt and maintenance work, and ensuring predictable execution

Proven track record of delivering internal platform work across single and multi-platform environments
Demonstrated success developing engineers through coaching, mentorship, and performance leadership
Strong understanding of software engineering best practices and architectural patterns, particularly within high-traffic mobile ecosystems
Experience building systems designed for scale, reliability, and experimentation
Values you’ll model
Be Kind and Care — build with empathy; assume positive intent; support teammates and members.
Live Good Health — champion healthy habits and balance in how we work and what we ship.
Be Data-Inspired — ground decisions in research and data; measure what matters.
Champion Change — lean into ambiguity; iterate, learn, and improve continuously.
Leave it Better than You Found It — raise quality, clarify systems, and document as you go.
Make It Happen — bias to action; deliver impact with craft and accountability.
The reasonably estimated salary for this role at MyFitnessPal ranges from $200,000 - $230,000.
