  • You have 5+ years of experience designing and maintaining complex/large/growing systems

  • You are proactive, when you see something broken you jump on it to fix it or suggest improvements
  • You move fast, test and iterate quickly

  • Solid knowledge of Python

  • Work closely with product engineers to design reliable rollouts of new features
  • Review code, proposals and participate in architectural discussions
  • 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 medium-large projects, gather feedback and design validation and rollout plans
  • Mentor other engineers
  • Influence the org to improve general reliability, scalability and performance

Our take

Revenue Cat was founded by developers who understood the complexities in 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.
