RevenueCat

The subscription platform for mobile apps

Sales Engineer4 days ago
Full TimeRemoteTeam 51-200Since 2017H1B No Sponsor

Role Description At most companies, Sales Engineers are the technical sidekicks to sellers. At RevenueCat, in many cases, Sales Engineers are the sellers: - The first touch for most inbound conversations. - Helping prospects understand whether RevenueCat is right for them. - Guiding them from curiosity to implementation. As a Senior Sales Engineer, you’ll combine deep RevenueCat product knowledge with a consultative mindset. You’ll understand app monetization models, subscription infrastructure, and the growth levers that drive success. You’ll build and demo real examples - like replicating a prospect’s paywall in our builder - while explaining how our SDKs, APIs, and integrations fit (or replace) what they already have. When larger, complex deals involve multiple stakeholders or extended commercial negotiations, you’ll partner with a Strategic Account Manager, but for most, you’ll own the full technical and commercial conversation. If you love combining technical depth, customer empathy, and a bit of marketing insight to help developers and app teams ship faster and smarter, this role is for you. Qualifications - 5 or more years in a customer-facing technical role such as sales engineering, solutions architecture, or developer advocacy for a SaaS or developer-tool company. - Fluency with mobile stacks and comfort reading and writing Swift or Objective-C, Kotlin or Java, Flutter or Dart, or React Native with TypeScript. - Strong communication skills that connect APIs and SDKs to business impact for both developers and non-technical stakeholders. - Curiosity about how apps acquire, convert, and retain users and the ability to have an informed conversation about monetization. - Organizational habits that keep multiple deals, demos, and content projects on track in a remote, async environment. - A bias toward action: you’d rather ship a 70% solution today than a perfect one next quarter. Requirements - Have shipped or integrated an app with RevenueCat. - Have supported or closed enterprise SaaS deals and know how to navigate complex stakeholders. - Understand subscription commerce, in-app purchases, or payments. - Enjoy occasional whimsical side quests like creating a demo app that turns cat photos into subscription revenue. - Are comfortable with tools such as Linear, Notion, Slack, Salesforce, and Looker. Benefits - 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. Company Description 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. - 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.
