Job description

RevenueCat gives app businesses the infrastructure and tools to build, run, and improve their monetization. Since graduating from YC's S18 batch, we've grown into the default monetization platform for mobile. We're in 50%+ of newly shipped subscription apps, we process $16B+ in annual purchase volume, and we help everyone from a solo developer to the OpenAI mobile team understand and grow their revenue. We're a remote-first team of 150+ people across 25+ countries, guided by values we actually practice: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance. This isn't the right fit for everyone. The systems you’ll build here manage billions of dollars and touch hundreds of millions of end users, and we don’t take that lightly. You'll be expected to work hard and hold a high bar for what you ship, alongside some of the sharpest, most driven people you've worked with. If that sounds energizing rather than exhausting, keep reading. 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.

IN THE FIRST MONTH, YOU'LL: - Get up to speed on our current technical projects - Meet every contributor on your team and understand what their areas of expertise are - 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 your design and product peers to understand current team priorities. - Schedule 1:1’s 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 to help build a better customer experience. - Work with your team to define milestones and deliverables and ensure that the team is shipping iteratively. - Understand the short and long term goals of your team, and help them with their career planning and progression - Work with the recruiting team and your peers to hire for the company.
