At RevenueCat, we make selling subscriptions in your mobile app easy. We launched as part of Y Combinator's summer 2018 batch and today are handling subscriptions for more than 10 million mobile subscriptions across thousands of apps. We are a mission driven, remote-first company that is building the foundation of mobile subscription infrastructure.

Our 30 team members (and growing!) are located all over the world, from San Francisco, to Madrid to Taipei, and we're proud to be a remote-first company. We're a close-knit, product-driven team, and we love our core values: Always be Shipping, Own it, Be Customer-Obsessed, and Be Balanced.

We're looking for a technologist who loves helping people ship. As an engineering manager, your focus is to act as a pillar for the development of our people. You'll be the one giving context and support to accomplish our company value of 'always be shipping'.
