Job description

At Feeld, we are creating a world where where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves. We are building an inclusive, human-centred product and are looking for a Senior Backend Monetization Engineer to become part of our remote team and our mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships.

You will be responsible for designing, building, and operating scalable, secure backend systems that power the company’s revenue-generating experiences to ensure monetisation flows are reliable, compliant, observable, and performant at scale.

To be right for this role, you should have extensive experience in Backend development with some specific experience with in-app purchases, pricing, and other revenue-related services.

What you will do:

• Drive outcomes, not just features. You'll own the health of our monetisation funnel and be responsible for the reliability and performance of the systems that keep Feeld sustainable.
• Design and maintain scalable backend systems that support integrations related to subscriptions, billing, entitlements, pricing logic, and promotional mechanics as the user base grows.
• Ensure high reliability and correctness of monetisation flows, minimising revenue-impacting incidents and reducing time-to-detection and resolution.
• Enable faster experimentation by supporting feature flags, testing, and analytics instrumentation across monetisation systems.
• In partnership with the Data team, build and maintain analytics and reporting capabilities that provide insight into revenue performance, user behavior, and system health.

How you will grow:

• Deepen your expertise in designing and operating revenue-critical systems at scale.
• Develop advanced skills in system observability, monitoring, and incident response for high-throughput financial workloads.
• Expand your knowledge of analytics infrastructure, experimentation frameworks, and data-driven product development.
• Improve your collaborating skills with non-technical partners by translating complex technical concepts into clear business insights

About you:

• You have experience designing, building, and maintaining backend services that handle high-throughput, business-critical workloads such as payments, subscriptions, or financial systems.
• You are comfortable working with databases, APIs, and ensuring data integrity and security in production environments.
• You are skilled at communicating technical concepts clearly to non-technical cross-functional partners.
• You approach problems with curiosity and systems thinking, balancing technical excellence with business impact and user experience.

Bonus points:

• You have experience building or maintaining subscription platforms, billing systems, or working directly with payment providers like Adapty, Stripe, RevenueCat, or Apple/Google in-app purchase APIs.
• You have worked with analytics pipelines, experimentation frameworks, or feature flagging systems to support data-driven product decisions.
• You have mentored other engineers or led technical initiatives that improved system reliability, performance, or developer experience.
• You have experience with mobile backend integration or supporting cross-platform monetisation flows across iOS, Android, and web.

About us:

Feeld is an independent, experimental and fully remote organisation reshaping the dialogue on dating and sexuality. The company was founded in 2014 and has evolved since to become the open, distributed structure it is now. We have a naturally agile and fluid culture. The whole team is fully remote, which means you work where and when helps you perform at your best. We regard autonomy highly and treat our organisation as a product – we iterate, improve and test things internally to see what works best for everyone.

Our culture:

We believe in creating a safe work environment through humanity, fluidity, safety, transparency and progressiveness. When hiring, we look for culture add rather than culture fit.

Because we are a fully remote team, it’s especially important that we create an environment where our colleagues feel included and connected as humans.

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Feeld:

Feeld promotes open-mindedness, inclusion, diversity and kindness, both in the world and among our own workforce.

We encourage and welcome applications from people with a history of marginalisation, whether because of race, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, national origin, disability (seen or unseen) or any confluence of intersectional identities.

Our goal is a barrier-free application process and working environment. If you require further details or assistance or have any questions about this process, please let us know at [e-mail].

Compensation and perks:

We are conscious of how our work and decisions impact other humans and the environment. We design our product and organisation with consideration for the wellbeing of our Members and colleagues. Feeld’s way of working is designed to proactively prevent burnout and an “always on” culture. We believe in technology and working environments that enable people to live a meaningful, fulfilled life.

Therefore, we offer our staff:

• Flexible working hours
• Unlimited paid time off
• A fully remote working situation
• Home office budget
• Learning & development budget
• On demand therapy sessions and mental health support via Spill
• In-person meet ups

Our compensation system is one of the ways we work to uphold equity and inclusion at Feeld. Just as we strive to enable honest expression on our platform, we strive for openness of information within the organization. Internally, we keep decision-making transparent to keep each other accountable and make sure all voices are heard. That is why we offer a compensation system that is transparent, honest, and equitable. Additionally, we believe all humans deserve to earn a competitive wage, so we offer a Baseline Freedom Salary of £60,000 GBP per year for any role that indexes below £60,000 GBP per year.

Estimated compensation for this role:

• The total cash compensation for this role is dependent on Level and Step, as well as geographic location, but we estimate that the competitive market compensation for this role is between £75,000 - £110,000 GBP based on the requirements listed in this job description.

Our interview process:

• Your first conversation with Feeld will be a screening call with our recruiter, where you’ll be able to ask - and receive answers - regarding any general questions you have and to confirm the role is a fit for what you’re seeking.
• Your second conversation will connect you directly with the hiring manager for the role you’re applying to. Here, you’ll have a chance to ask more questions about the work you’ll be doing. This conversation will also focus on your past work experiences.
• The next step for most of our roles is a candidate challenge. This is an evaluation of the skills relevant to be successful in this role and generally takes about an hour to complete.
• Your third conversation allows you the opportunity to meet the team members you might be working with on a daily basis. Here, you’ll be able to ask questions about team processes, workflow, and the employee experience at Feeld.
• We generally make an offer within 2 weeks of our final call, and offer a flexible start date that can begin as early as the next Monday after you sign our offer documentation.
• Of note: all of our interviews are conducted remotely, and our interviewers will work with you to find an agreeable interview time based on mutual availability.

We understand we're asking you to invest your time and best efforts in our process, and are appreciative of getting the chance to better know who you are as a person and candidate. In return, we’re committed to offering transparent communication and prompt feedback as you navigate this application with us.
