Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Software Engineer III, Site Reliability - **Company:** MYFITNESSPAL, INC. - **Location:** Austin, TX, United States (Remote available) - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $120,000.0 - $165,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Amazon Web Services, Cloud Computing Security, Computer Programming, Github, Identity and Access Management, Python (Programming Language), Key Management, PCI Data Security Standards, Reliability Engineering, Software Construction, TypeScript, Datadog, Policy as Code, Cloud Platform System, Delivery Pipeline, Backend, Kubernetes, Deployment Automation, Terraform, Static Application Security Testing, Golang, Dynamic Application Security Testing - **Published:** July 18, 2026 - **Apply:** https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=7fc6795cef576f9b ## About the Role * 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 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. ## Description * 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 ## Related Videos - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Empowering Developer Innovation - Balancing Speed, Security, and Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1689-empowering-developer-innovation-balancing-speed-security-and-scale) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers)
