RevenueCat removes the headaches of building and scaling in‑app subscriptions. Since graduating from YC’s S18 batch we’ve grown into the default monetization platform for mobile: we’re in >40% of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $8B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo dev in Brazil to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue.
We’re a remote‑first crew of 100+, guided by values we actually practice: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance. If you want your work to touch hundreds of millions of end‑users (and help the developers behind them get paid), you’ll fit right in.
RevenueCat is searching for a Engineering Manager to help our Data Team grow and succeed in our mission to put data at the service of our customers, supporting the data platform growth and its challenges and helping create a product that will help developers make more money. We expect our managers to be highly technical.
Our infrastructure is built on AWS, with production databases on Aurora Postgres & MariaDB, replicated with debezium and kafka to our data lake in S3, snowflake for warehouse and clickhouse for real-time metrics. We use Sagemaker for machine learning capabilities, Dagster for orchestration, DBT for transformations.
