Role
Who you are
- You have 5+ years of data science experience, ideally with a strong background in fintech, credit, lending, or payments
- You have deep expertise in fraud and/or underwriting. You know how to build models that balance risk and growth, and you understand the nuances of financial data
- You're highly analytical and technical. You are an expert in SQL and Python. You can build, deploy, and monitor models in production. You don't wait for someone else to pull the data
- You understand mobile apps or developer ecosystems, or you're eager to learn this space and how apps earn money at scale
- You act like an owner. You aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and get something done yourself. You treat RevenueCat's balance sheet, product, and brand like it's your own
- You thrive in ambiguity. You are comfortable making low-information, high-stakes decisions. You can quickly get to confidence, move on, and iterate
- You're a systems thinker. You can step back from the particular and see the process. You look for opportunities to automate and build things that scale, when you've had enough signal to know that you should
- You know when it's good enough. You are obsessed with getting things right, but you know when you're at diminishing returns. You balance detail, speed, and ambition without losing sight of impact
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Data Scientist to support product initiatives for RevenueCat Capital, with deep experience in lead qualification, anomaly detection, fraud prevention, and underwriting
- This is a chance to be the founding Data Scientist embedded within the Capital team, a greenfield opportunity to scale our new fintech business lines from <$1M to $100M+
- You'll partner directly with leadership, collaborate across teams, and bring a new product to life inside RevenueCat
- Your work will touch real money, real developers, and a product that is just getting started
- Own the Data Science strategy for RC Capital. Build the foundation for our underwriting and fraud detection systems from the ground up. Nothing is locked in, you'll define the models, the signals, and the approach
- Develop sophisticated models for lead qualification, anomaly detection, fraud prevention, and credit underwriting. All this using the richest, most real-time app revenue data in the world
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to integrate risk signals and underwriting logic into customer-facing flows and internal decisioning engines
- Analyze cross-platform revenue data to uncover insights that improve our underwriting models and product design
- Build mechanisms for measuring impact, evaluating model performance, and driving prioritization of new data initiatives
- Operate with high ownership in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment helping to define the long-term vision for our financial products
- In the first month, you'll:
- Understand how Daily Payouts works today and what data powers it
- Get to know the team and the current state of our underwriting and fraud approach
- Form your own point of view on where the biggest gaps are
- Within the first 3 months, you'll:
- Have a baseline fraud detection model in production. Imperfect is fine, measurable is required
- Work with Product and Engineering to integrate risk signals into real customer flows
- Define what "better" looks like so we have something to improve against
- Within the first 6 months, you'll:
- Own the underwriting and fraud detection systems end to end
- Influence the RC Capital product roadmap with data-backed proposals on what to build next
- Be the person who knows best how RevenueCat's revenue data translates into financial risk signals
- Within the first 12 months, you'll:
- Lead new Data initiatives as the Capital product line expands beyond Daily Payouts
- Help shape how Data Science operates within Capital as the team grows
- Have had a material impact on how RevenueCat deploys capital and manages risk at scale
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.
