Site Reliability Engineer - MyFitnessPal

At MyFitnessPal, we believe good health starts with what you eat. We provide tools, resources, and support to enable users to reach their health goals.

We are looking for a Software Engineer III - Site Reliability to join the MyFitnessPal Productivity Engineering: Automation & Self-Service (PEAS) team. As a member of the PEAS team, you'll have the opportunity to positively impact MyFitnessPal users through your expertise in the reliability and delivery systems that keep the MyFitnessPal ecosystem fast, available, and safe to change.

About the Team

The PEAS team is responsible for the automation, CI/CD, and self-service platforms that product teams rely on to build, test, and ship features quickly and safely.

The PEAS team is part of the Technology Operations (TechOps) organization, which includes IT, Infrastructure, Security, Reliability, and DevOps/DevEx disciplines. TechOps seeks to enable MyFitnessPal to "ship with confidence" by delivering a secure, reliable, and low-friction runway to build and operate software at scale.

Essential Duties

As a Software Engineer III on the PEAS team, you will own reliability across our production services and maintain security in the software delivery pipeline. You'll define how we measure and defend reliability, lead us through incidents, and make our CI/CD pipelines both faster and harder to compromise.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and evolve our SLI/SLO and error-budget frameworks, using them to influence prioritization and product decisions.
• Lead incident response, drive postmortems, and turn findings into systemic fixes rather than one-off patches.
• Build and maintain observability across metrics, logs, and traces (Datadog), improving signal and reducing alert fatigue.
• Design and operate resilient, scalable infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
• Manage production Kubernetes and container workloads, including capacity planning and cloud-cost optimization.
• Own CI/CD pipelines and safe deployment strategies (canary, progressive rollout, fast rollback).
• Own security controls inside the delivery pipeline — integrating and tuning SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning (e.g., GitHub Actions) so issues surface during code review.
• Implement and maintain policy-as-code (e.g., OPA/Rego, Kyverno, or Conftest) to block unsafe infrastructure and Kubernetes changes at admission time.
• Drive vulnerability triage and remediation SLAs for pipeline- and infrastructure-level findings, prioritizing by real risk.
• Partner with Security Engineers and broader TechOps disciplines to enforce pipeline security.
• Participate in and improve the on-call rotation; build runbooks and automation to ensure sustainable operations.
• Coach team members and engineers across the organization on reliability patterns and operational best practices.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in site reliability, platform, or infrastructure engineering, with clear senior-level ownership of production systems.
• Strong programming skills for automation and tooling (Go, Python, TypeScript, or similar) building software/tooling beyond basic scripts.
• Deep, hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (AWS preferred), Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
• Proven track record leading incident response and building SLO-driven reliability practices.
• Working fluency with observability tooling (Datadog preferred).
• Practical experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines (SAST/DAST/SCA tooling, dependency scanning, policy-as-code).
• Strong understanding of cloud security fundamentals (IAM, least-privilege patterns, guardrails, secrets management).
• Strong communication skills to collaborate effectively on security and reliability findings.

Nice to Have

• Experience with policy-as-code frameworks (especially Kyverno, OPA/Rego, or Conftest) enforced at admission time.
• Exposure to regulated or compliance-driven environments (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA).
• Chaos engineering or game-day experience.
• Experience supporting high-traffic B2C/mobile backend environments.

Core Values

• Be Kind and Care: Build with empathy, assume positive intent, and support teammates.
• Live Good Health: Champion healthy habits and balance in how we work and 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.

Compensation & Benefits

• Estimated Base Salary: $120,000 - $160,000 (dependent on skills and experience)
• Annual Performance Bonus
• Healthcare: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• Retirement: 401(k) plan with competitive employer match
• Time Off: Responsible Time Off (flexible PTO) plus paid volunteer days
• Parental & Family Care: Paid maternity/paternity leave and fertility assistance
• Wellness: Monthly Wellness & Technology allowances, mental health days, and MyFitnessPal Premium access
• Growth & Connection: Mentorship program, annual company gathering, and virtual learning library
