At MyFitnessPal, we believe good health starts with what you eat. We provide the tools and resources to reach your fitness goals.

We’re looking for an Application Security Engineer to join the MyFitnessPal Security team. You will leverage your technical skills to secure the code, development processes, and infrastructure that create the MyFitnessPal product experience. You are a detail-oriented problem solver, able to thrive in a fast-paced and matrixed environment.

Reporting to the Sr. Director, Security & IT, you will select and implement tooling to advance secure development across the product lifecycle. You will collaborate with cross functional teams to build robust processes, adopt DevSecOps tactics, and advocate secure coding practices. This is a hands-on technical role that will have substantial autonomy to identify solutions that address gaps in our application security.

What you’ll be doing: 

• Take a hands-on role in shaping our product security and keeping MyFitnessPal and our users safe
• Build high efficiency, measurable processes that result in action against automated tooling, including results from scanning in the CI/CD pipeline, bug bounty programs, and other security tooling (DevSecOps)
• Select, implement, and maintain dynamic and static application security analysis tools, monitoring the application at every phase of its life cycle
• Maintain MyFitnessPal’s vulnerability response process, providing direction on mitigation steps and ensuring remediation targets are met
• Provide training and guidance to engineers and developers on secure coding and architecture practices
• Support and grow the maturity of application security initiatives, with an emphasis on automation
• Live our core values in all you do:
• Be Kind and Care
• Live Good Health
• Be Data-Inspired
• Champion Change
• Leave it Better than You Found It
• Make It Happen

Qualifications to be successful in this role: 

• Substantial experience in software engineering, DevOps, or application security roles
• Strong understanding of application security assessment techniques (e.g., SAST, DAST, penetration testing, etc.) and steps to remediate findings
• Knowledge of secure development practices for web and mobile applications (e.g., OWASP Top 10, MAS)
• Familiarity with auto-scaling cloud microservices and associated technologies (e.g., containerization, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, etc.)
• Experience with implementing security scanning in CI/CD pipelines with orchestration tools (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, etc.) is a plus
• Experience with web and mobile application development is a plus
• Excellent organizational, interpersonal communication, cross-functional collaboration, and leadership skills
• High attention to detail

Please consider applying even if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications. Research shows you can still be considered for a position if you meet some of the requirements. At MyFitnessPal, we’re building a fitness product for everyone and believe our team should reflect that. We encourage people of different backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives to apply.
