Role
Who you are
- You are a senior software engineer with strong web development (frontend + backend) fundamentals and a track record of owning production systems end-to-end
- You care deeply about building reliable software and enjoy working close to real customer problems
- You’re comfortable working across frontend, backend, and data layers, and you make deliberate, well-scoped changes
- You’ve shipped meaningful user-facing features to production, supported them over time, and improved systems you didn’t originally design
- You can turn ambiguous product requirements into clear technical solutions, collaborating effectively with product, design, and other engineers
- You write high-quality, well-tested code, debug issues methodically, and help raise the engineering bar through thoughtful feedback and mentorship
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with ownership of production systems
- Strong engineering fundamentals: data modeling, debugging, code structure, and testing
- Strong web development fundamentals, including:
- HTML, CSS and JavaScript fundamentals
- Component-based UI design and state management
- Experience with an MVC-style web framework (e.g. Django, Flask, or similar)
- An MVC framework like Django, Flask, or similar
- Understanding of HTTP and browser–server interactions
- Experience building and shipping user-facing web applications
- Familiarity with modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, or similar), however the interview process will be in React, so brush up on that
- Comfort reasoning about non-trivial SQL queries and data correctness
- Ability to work effectively in a fully remote, async-friendly environment
- Proactive mindset: you notice problems, propose improvements, and follow through
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer, Product to design, build, ship, and own end-to-end product features used by thousands of developers and hundreds of millions of end-users
- This role is product-focused, but deeply technical. You’ll work across frontend, backend, and data boundaries, making thoughtful tradeoffs to deliver reliable, high-quality systems. You’ll be expected to take ownership from problem definition through production rollout and long-term maintenance
- “Product-focused” at RevenueCat means pairing strong engineering fundamentals with good judgment — not trading correctness, reliability, or scalability for speed
- In the first month, you'll:
- Meet frequently with your team and manager to get up to speed
- Familiarize yourself with our tools, processes, and core subscription business concepts
- Complete a First Ship project
- Jump in early: fix some bugs, ship small improvements and weigh in on PRs
- Within the first 3 months, you'll:
- Have shipped a medium-sized project successfully
- Understand the main product areas owned by your team and how they work end-to-end
- Be able to scope and work on projects self-sufficiently from idea to improvements post-launch
- Actively participate in code reviews, bug bashes and technical discussions of your team
- Continuously improve areas of the codebase and product of your team
- Within the first 6 months, you'll:
- Become the go-to engineer for certain focus areas
- Proactively contribute to architecture direction discussions that impact not just your team
- Debug issues across frontend/backend/data, communicate clearly during incidents, and drive fixes that prevent repeats
- Engage with customers
- Mentor other engineers joining the team and raise the bar through feedback and guidance
- Within the first 12 months, you'll:
- Know all the major components of our system and be able to debug complex issues
- Be able to spec and architect large projects, gather feedback and design validation and rollout plans
- Lead your own initiatives for improving our product and system, understanding the current issues and priorities
- Technologies you’ll likely work with
- TypeScript
- React
- PostgreSQL
- Python
- Flask
- AWS hosted systems following best practices of deployment, monitoring and reliability
Our take
RevenueCat was founded by developers who understood the complexities of scaling a subscription app firsthand. The company’s software development kit (SDK) solution gives companies the tools they need to build a subscription business for Android and iOS.
Although similar subscription companies exist, RevenueCat’s main differentiator is that its application processing interface is easy to use for developers and accessibly priced - RevenueCat charges a small percentage of an app’s sales instead of a flat fee.
Top companies like VSCO, Notion, WidgetSmith, Buffer, and Fishbrain use RevenueCat to power their subscriptions at scale, and the company is now handling subscriptions for millions of mobile subscriptions across thousands of apps. It continues to expand operations and make new partnerships towards bettering its capabilities for the future.
