高级后端工程师
Senior Backend Engineer
RevenueCat 为应用业务提供基础设施和工具，以构建、运行和优化其变现方式。自 YC S18 批次毕业以来，我们已成长为移动应用的默认变现平台。
我们已进入 50% 以上的新开发订阅应用，每年处理超过 160 亿美元的购买量，我们帮助从独立开发者到 OpenAI 移动团队的所有人理解并增长他们的收入。
我们是一个由 150 多人组成的远程优先团队，分布在 25 多个国家，我们的价值观是真正践行的：客户至上、持续交付、承担责任、保持平衡。
这并不适合所有人。你在这里构建的系统管理着数十亿美元，并影响数亿终端用户，我们对此非常重视。你将与一些你合作过的最聪明、最有动力的人一起努力工作，并对你的交付成果保持高标准。如果这听起来令人兴奋而不是疲惫，继续阅读吧。
### **职位描述**
我们正在寻找一名后端工程师，负责设计、构建、交付并负责数千名开发者和数亿终端用户使用的端到端产品功能。
这是一个需要亲自参与的独立贡献者角色。我们希望找到一个热爱交付产品而非仅仅编写代码的人。你是一位以客户为中心的工程师，对软件充满热情。你将从问题分析到生产部署再到长期维护全程负责。你既有工程基础来编写在大规模下几乎完美运行的高性能系统，也有产品意识，不会让“完美”阻碍“今天交付”。
### **关于你**
- 你有 8 年以上作为后端工程师的经验，设计过之前不存在的复杂、快速增长的系统。
- 你能编写超出基本 SELECT 和 UPDATE 语句的高级 SQL 语句。
- 你对质量有高标准，本能地知道哪些细节重要，同时也能在必要时精简范围，仍能交付价值。
- 你以客户为中心：你会想象自己作为开发者、产品经理或市场人员使用该功能或遇到问题。
- 你是建造者，而非执行者：与我们的产品团队合作进行范围定义、优先级排序和推动上线。这不是一个根据详细规格逐项完成的角色。
- 你能快速熟悉自己未编写的代码并对其进行改进。
- 你习惯于使用 AI 工具如 Copilot、Cursor 或 Clau 进行编码。

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 a Backend Engineer to design, build, ship, and own end-to-end product features used by thousands of developers and hundreds of millions of end-users.
This is a hands-on IC role. We want someone that loves shipping products, not just code. You are an engineer obsessed with the customer and passionate about software. You’ll take ownership from problem scoping to production rollout to long-term maintenance. You have both the engineering fundamentals to write performant systems that operate at huge scale near flawlessly and the product sense that doesn't let “perfect” get in the way of “shipped today.”
### **About You**
- 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 are discerning enough to cut scope when needed while still 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. This isn’t a role where you check off items from a detailed specification.
- You can quickly familiarize yourself with code you didn't write yourself and improve it.
- You're comfortable coding alongside AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, or Claude Code. You use them to move faster on the parts that don't need your full attention, and you're detail-oriented enough to catch when they're wrong.
- 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. We’re a fully remote team, and how you write is as important as how you code.
- 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.
### **Ideally, you have:**
- Experience in Python.
- Experience in PostgreSQL.
- Experience building SDKs.
- Shipped a mobile app with in-app purchases.
- Some experience with React and SPA applications.
#### **In the first month, you'll:**
- Meet frequently with your team and mentor to get up to speed.
- Set up and get familiar with 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.
#### **Within the first 3 months, you'll**
- Scope and work on projects self-sufficiently, end to end.
- Talk to customers or support directly to understand how the systems you own actually get used and where they break down.
- Learn the basics of incident response and join the on-call rotation.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to reliability and quality across the codebase.
- Understand every product your team owns.
#### **Within the first 6 months, you'll**
- Review code, write proposals, and contribute to architectural discussions.
- Contribute to your team’s roadmap and technical direction — the “why,” not just the “how.”
- Be the go-to person on a couple of your team’s focus areas.
- Have shipped a major product or feature, start to finish.
#### **Within the first 12 months, you'll**
- Know all the major components of our system and be able to debug complex issues across it.
- Have your own initiatives for improving our products, grounded in real customer and business priorities.
- Spec and architect medium-to-large projects, gather feedback, and drive design validation and rollout plans.
- Mentor other engineers joining the team.
- Push the org to improve reliability, scalability, and performance.
#### **What we offer:**
- 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
- A fully remote environment designed around autonomy and flexibility.
- 4-5 weeks of flexible time off annually
- Paid desk at a co-working space
- Workspace budget and continuous learning stipend
