Job description

Remote-First, but Timezone-Anchored:

RevenueCat is genuinely remote-first with 150+ people across 25+ countries, which is a strong signal for location independence. However, this specific role (RC Capital) explicitly requires overlap across US and European time zones. That means you'll need to be available roughly during a UTC-8 to UTC+2 window — limiting truly nomadic flexibility to the Americas, Europe, and parts of Africa.

Visa & Location Considerations:

The allowed regions (USA, Canada, EMEA, LATAM) open a wide range of visa pathways. Popular options include:

• Portugal: Digital Nomad Visa (D8) — ideal if you want EU access with low cost of living (~$2,000–2,500/mo in Lisbon)
• Colombia (Medellín): Tourist visa for stays up to 180 days/year — low cost (~$1,200–1,800/mo), excellent nomad infrastructure, and within US timezone overlap
• Mexico (Mexico City / Oaxaca): Temporary Resident visa or tourist stays — great US timezone alignment and costs of $1,500–2,000/mo

Travel-Relevant Perks:

The $2,000 workspace setup stipend is useful for equipping a mobile office (monitors, peripherals, ergonomic gear). The $1,000 annual learning budget can fund fintech or cloud certifications. The 4–5 week suggested PTO gives meaningful travel windows.

Bottom Line:

This role suits nomads who can anchor 4–6 hours of their day to overlap US-EU hours. Medellín or Mexico City are the sweet spots for timezone + cost of living optimization.

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 $12B+ 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 150+, spread across 25+ countries, and 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.

The Role

We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead engineering for RC Capital — a zero-to-one team on the ground floor of a brand-new business line. You'll help design, build, ship, and support the infrastructure behind Early Payouts and whatever we build next: underwriting and risk monitoring, money movement and reconciliation, partner bank integrations, and fraud detection.

This role blends the technical depth of our core Engineering Manager bar with direct exposure to financial products — factoring, underwriting, risk, banking integrations — so a background in fintech, financial services, or a related regulated/risk-sensitive domain is essential.

Please note: although we're fully remote, this team is based across US and European time zones, so there's some expectation of overlap in working hours.

About You

• You have 6+ years of experience as a software engineer.
• You have 3+ years of experience managing software engineering teams.
• You have experience working cross-functionally to build prioritized roadmaps for your teams.
• You can balance shipping new features, managing tech debt, and investing in system improvements.
• You are hands‑on and perform code reviews and bug investigation when needed.
• You are comfortable writing SQL queries to analyze data and find inconsistencies.
• You work with your team to ensure consistent delivery of value and quality software through shorter iterative development cycles.
• You work with your team to improve the quality of products, ensuring they meet product requirements, customer needs, and SLAs.
• You provide technical leadership and help guide engineers into important technical decisions.
• You have experience working with engineers at different levels and have coached them in their career development.
• You are customer‑obsessed, prioritizing their outcomes and experiences.

Responsibilities

• Build and lead a highly engaged distributed team by hiring, supporting, and coaching the team to deliver consistently and continuously seek ways to make an impact.
• Work cross‑functionally primarily with product, design, and support teams to set direction, anticipate strategic and scaling challenges through thoughtful long‑term planning.
• Work with your team on iterative execution of the roadmap and build efficient & transparent processes for consistent, predictable delivery.
• Coach and mentor engineers on the team to further their professional development.
• Work with other engineering managers to continuously improve the organization & create a strong sense of ownership, belonging, and inclusivity.

In the First Month, You'll:

• Get up to speed on current technical projects.
• Meet every contributor on your team and understand their areas of expertise.
• Meet EMs and PMs from other teams to understand what those teams are doing.
• Work with your team and understand how we do iterative development and the team processes.
• Collaborate with design and product peers to understand current team priorities.
• Schedule 1:1s with your team to get to know them better.

Within the First 3 Months, You'll:

• Have shipped your first big feature and learned about what worked (and what didn't).
• Collaborate with the product and design team and deliver quarterly planning.
• Understand how RevenueCat is used by customers and the areas of focus for your team.
• Work with your team to define milestones and deliverables and ensure iterative shipping.
• Understand the short and long‑term goals of your team and help with career planning and progression.
• Work with the recruiting team and peers to hire for the company.

Within the First 6 Months, You'll:

• Have established and refined processes to enable shipping fast and reliably.
• Understand team dynamics and be able to predict team capacity around project execution.
• Champion technical improvements and debt reduction alongside feature development.
• Be part of technical discussions and guide the team to optimal solutions.

Within the First 12 Months, You'll:

• Have built domain knowledge and can easily debug, route, and prioritize any incoming triage issues.
• Have established clear communication guidelines within the team to enable open and honest communication.
• Have helped bring in the right talent through interviews, sourcing, and screening for candidates aligned with company values.
• Have built trust with the team through relationship building, mentoring, coaching, and providing timely feedback.
• Have a thorough understanding of how the product works and can guide the team in planning, prioritizing work, and finding opportunities.

What We Offer

• Competitive equity in a fast-growing, Series C startup backed by top-tier investors, including Y Combinator.
• 10-year window to exercise vested equity options.
• Fully remote and flexible work environment.
• 4–5 weeks of suggested time off annually for mental, physical, and emotional recharge.
• $2,000 USD for workspace setup and $1,000 USD annual stipend for continuous learning.

Is this Engineering Manager role truly remote, or will I need to be in a specific location? The role is fully remote and open to candidates across the US, Canada, EMEA, and LATAM regions. However, you will need to maintain meaningful overlap with US and European time zones since the RC Capital team operates across those regions. What kind of fintech or financial services background is required? RevenueCat requires experience in fintech, financial services, or a regulated/risk-sensitive domain. The role involves underwriting, risk monitoring, money movement, reconciliation, partner bank integrations, and fraud detection, so direct exposure to at least some of these areas is essential. Is there a salary range provided for this position? No specific salary range is listed in the job posting. RevenueCat does offer competitive equity in a Series C startup, a 10-year equity exercise window, and a $2,000 workspace setup stipend plus $1,000 annual learning budget. What does the onboarding and ramp‑up timeline look like? RevenueCat has a structured 30/90/180/365-day onboarding plan. In the first month you'll meet the team and learn processes; by month three you'll have shipped a major feature; by six months you'll be driving team processes and technical decisions independently. How many engineers will I be managing on the RC Capital team? The posting does not specify an exact team size, but describes RC Capital as a "zero-to-one" team, implying it is in early formation. Part of the role includes hiring to grow the team.
