Full Job Description
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to join the MyFitnessPal Engineering team leading our Subscription Growth squad to continue driving double-digit paid subscriber growth on top of our mission-critical payments platform.

As a member of our MyFitnessPal Engineering team, you'll lead a cross-functional team of backend and iOS engineers focused on outcomes over outputs, using data and experimentation to drive MFP's product strategy.

About the Team:

Our Subscription Growth team maintains critical integrations with the Apple and Android app stores and Stripe to provide a seamless paid subscriber onboarding experience. They prioritize platform stability and quality and are currently focused on building growth-driving features on top of these robust platforms.

Essential Duties:

As the Engineering Manager you'll join a talented team, leading it to deliver significant growth on top of our mission-critical payments platforms. Your primary focus is cultivating an environment where engineers thrive and collaborate effectively with Product and Design to achieve their goals.
What you'll be doing:
  • Partner closely with Product and Design, leveraging a variety of qualitative and quantitative tools to explore Growth solutions across our mobile and web apps
  • Work closely with the team to ensure strong technical decision-making grounded in product context, setting us up for continued success implementing new growth and monetization strategies
  • Take a hands-on approach to delivery management, ensuring the backlog is healthy, maintenance and tech debt work are scheduled, and work is broken down appropriately, in a timely manner
  • Coach and develop your team, investing in individuals while keeping team health top-of-mind
Qualifications to be successful in this role:
  • 4+ years experience leading engineering teams in close partnership with Product and Design, working iteratively with a deep focus on customer outcomes
  • Strong analytical focus and comfort working through tricky A/B testing and data attribution challenges, ideally in a Growth domain
  • Experience building highly available third-party integrations that process high-volume data, ideally in a subscription domain
  • Experience leading consumer-facing development work focused on native apps using iterative, learning-focused agile methodologies
  • Strong technical and product judgment: you can frame engineering investments as business outcomes and bring that perspective into cross-functional planning and roadmap discussions
  • Experience developing high-trust engineering teams through mentorship and coaching: you set clear goals, context, and decision-making frameworks while empowering engineers to own technical execution and tradeoff discussions
  • 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, balancing speed, quality, and safety

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.
