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

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior software engineering experience focused on native Apple applications (iOS)

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.
