Job summary

RevenueCat, a remote-first company with 150+ engineers across 25+ countries, is seeking a senior Backend Engineer to design, build, and own end-to-end product features used by thousands of developers and hundreds of millions of end-users.

You’ll take ownership from problem scoping to production rollout, shipping high-quality, well-tested code, and mentoring others while keeping customer value at the center of every decision.

Qualifications

• You have 8+ years of experience as a backend engineer designing complex, fast-growing systems that didn’t exist before you.
• You can write advanced SQL statements beyond basic SELECT and UPDATE statements.
• You hold a high bar for quality and instinctively know which details matter, but also cut scope when needed while delivering value.
• You’re customer-obsessed: you imagine yourself as the developer, product manager, or marketer using the feature or experiencing the issue.
• You’re a builder, not an implementer: scoping, prioritizing, and driving rollout in partnership with our Product team.
• You can quickly familiarize yourself with code you didn’t write yourself and improve it.
• You’re scrappy and biased toward shipping. You’d rather ship a good version today and iterate than wait to ship a perfect one next quarter.
• You communicate clearly, both in real-time and asynchronously.
• You’ve shipped meaningful user-facing features to production, monitored their usage and adoption, and improved them over time.
• You write high-quality, well-tested code, debug issues methodically, and help raise the engineering bar through thoughtful feedback and mentorship.
• You act like a founder: you notice problems, propose improvements, and follow through fast.

Responsibilities

• Meet with the team and mentors to get up to speed.
• Set up repositories, task management, and the dev environment.
• Implement and ship your first project.
• Get familiar with RevenueCat’s dashboards, logging, debugging tools, cloud providers, infrastructure, and general architecture.
• Learn about the mobile app economy and subscription‑business concepts that shape our product decisions.
