Senior SDK Engineer

About us:

RevenueCat makes building, analyzing, and growing mobile subscriptions easy. We launched as part of Y Combinator's summer 2018 batch and today are handling more than $4B of in-app purchases annually across thousands of apps.

We are a mission driven, remote-first company that is building the standard for mobile subscription infrastructure. Top apps like VSCO, Notion, and ClassDojo count on RevenueCat to power their subscriptions at scale.

Our 80 team members (and growing!) are located all over the world, from San Francisco to Madrid to Taipei. We're a close-knit, product-driven team, and we strive to live our core values: Customer Obsession, Always Be Shipping, Own It, and Balance.

The Role

We are looking for a Senior SDK engineer (specialized in iOS) to join our Monetization and Paywalls team to help design, build, ship, and support end-to-end features and products that will help developers make more money by providing tools needed to maximize monetization. The biggest feature being native paywalls. We want to bring somebody onboard that is product focused, customer focused, and passionate about building mobile SDKs with a great developer experience.

This role will primarily focus on our iOS (Apple platforms) SDK but also requires contributions to our Android SDK and hybrid SDKs. Experience in these other platforms is not a requirement but the desire and excitement to work on them is.

About you:

• You love shipping good products.
• You have deep empathy for customers.
• You know how to ship high quality code using good testing practices in iterative cycles.
• You collaborate well with others and can communicate effectively in a fully-remote culture.
• You are proactive. When you see something broken, you jump on it to fix it or suggest improvements.
• You move fast, test, and iterate quickly.
• You ask questions when you're stuck on something.
• You are excited to be part of a growing team.

Bonus:

• You have experience in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
• You have experience building SDKs.
• You have experience in server driven user interfaces.
• You have shipped your own app to the App Store or Google Play with paywalls.
• You have experience in Python or other backend development.

In the first month, you'll:

• Learn about our customers, our SDK, the in-app subscription ecosystem, the problems RevenueCat helps solve, and how our SDKs fit into that.
• Open your first pull request and deploy changes to be used by 32,000+ apps.
• Onboard into our codebase by working on your very first project and shipping it 😺
• Learn how we maintain as much transparency as possible with our work in GitHub.
• Begin reviewing code and add to our engineering culture.

Within the first 3 months, you'll:

• Be able to scope and work on projects self-sufficiently.
• Participate in code reviews, and contribute in other ways (testing, visibility, etc.) to improve reliability and quality of the codebase.
• Understand every product owned by your team.
• Understand and improve many of the codebases that the team works with.

Within the first 6 months, you'll:

• Be the most knowledgeable person on several key features.
• Have your own initiatives for improving the code base and our infrastructure.
• Contribute to the team roadmap and technical direction.
• Have shipped a major product or feature.

Within the first 12 months, you'll:

• Be able to spec, architect and build any feature we might want to build.
• Have experience in all areas of technology stack related to SDKs and be the primary expert/owner of at least one area.
• Help mentor and onboard new engineers, shaping the RevenueCat engineering culture as we continue to expand the team.
• Help prioritize the roadmap to provide maximum value to developers, while pushing the team and technology forward.
