[Remote] Site Reliability Engineer

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. MyFitnessPal is hiring a Software Engineer III - Site Reliability to improve the reliability, security, and delivery systems that support its services. The role owns production reliability and security in the software delivery pipeline, leads incident response, and helps teams ship safely and efficiently.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our SLI/SLO and error-budget frameworks, and use 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 the security controls that live inside the delivery pipeline — integrating and tuning SAST, DAST, and SCA scanning (for example, in GitHub Actions) so issues surface while code is still in review
• Implement and maintain policy-as-code (for example, 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 our Security Engineer and the broader Security & Reliability disciplines — you own security in the pipeline and collaborate on the rest, rather than duplicating that function
• Participate in and improve the on-call rotation; build the runbooks and automation that make on-call sustainable
• Coach team members and engineers across the org on reliability patterns and operational best practices

Skills

• 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) — you have experience building software or custom tooling, not just scripts
• Deep, hands-on experience with a major cloud platform (AWS is a plus), Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform is a plus)
• Proven track record leading incident response and building SLO-driven reliability practices
• Working fluency with observability tooling (Datadog is a plus)
• Practical experience integrating security into CI/CD pipelines — SAST/DAST/SCA tooling, dependency scanning, or policy-as-code
• Strong understanding of cloud security fundamentals (identity/IAM, least-privilege patterns, policy/guardrails, secrets management)
• The judgment and communication skills to raise a security or reliability finding with a senior engineer and land it as a shared problem to solve, not a fight to win
• Experience with policy-as-code frameworks (especially Kyverno, but tools like OPA/Rego or Conftest are also relevant) enforced at admission time is a plus
• Exposure to regulated or compliance-driven environments (SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA) is a plus
• Chaos engineering or game-day experience is a plus
• Experience supporting B2C/mobile backend environments with high traffic, rapid iteration, and strong reliability needs is a plus

Benefits

• Healthcare, parental planning, and mental health benefits
• Annual performance bonus
• A 401(k) plan and match
• Responsible time off
• Monthly wellness and technology allowances
• Teams meet as often as needed and all of MyFitnessPal gathers annually
• Flexible time-off policy with the Responsible Time Off benefit
• 2 volunteer days off per calendar year for each full time teammate
• Optional mentorship program with a teammate who can help scale skills and propel career growth
• Paid maternity and paternity leave
• Comprehensive assistance for fertility-related matters
• Monthly Wellness Allowance
• Dedicated mental health days
• Reward and recognition platform for peer acknowledgment and rewards
• Access to MyFitnessPal Premium
• Virtual learning and development library and training opportunities
• Competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits
• Retirement savings program with a competitive employer match
