Cover letter sample
Dear Hiring Team,
I am excited to apply for the Senior DevOps / DevEx Engineer position at RevenueCat. Your mission to simplify in-app subscriptions and your commitment to empowering engineers through custom tooling deeply resonates with my own passion for building developer platforms. With over 5 years of experience in SRE and platform engineering, I have designed self-serve infrastructures that balance speed and safety, using Python, Kubernetes, and IaC.
I am particularly drawn to your proactive approach to AI adoption and would love to help shape that future. I am confident that my builder mindset and ownership mentality would allow me to contribute from day one.
Sample interview questions
In my previous role, I noticed that engineers were spending hours manually provisioning AWS resources. I built a CLI tool that automated the entire workflow, integrated with our existing CI/CD pipeline, and included pre-built templates for common use cases. This reduced setup time from hours to minutes and significantly improved developer satisfaction.
I believe in embedding safety directly into the platform. I would implement policy-as-code checks, automated guardrails, and peer review templates. By making unsafe actions difficult or impossible, and by providing clear feedback when something violates standards, teams can move independently without compromising reliability or security.
I would first audit the current codebase to identify pain points and duplication. Then I would modularize shared infrastructure components into reusable packages, establish clear versioning and documentation, and introduce automated testing for Pulumi stacks. This would make the system easier to maintain and extend, while reducing cognitive load for engineers.
I would start with a small pilot group to gather feedback and measure impact. I would establish clear guidelines for acceptable use, especially regarding sensitive data, and integrate AI tools into the existing review process. By demonstrating tangible benefits and ensuring security guardrails are in place, I can build trust and drive adoption gradually.
I balance speed and reliability by automating everything possible—CI/CD, testing, canary deployments, and monitoring. I also invest in good documentation and clear communication practices, so that asynchronous collaboration works well. This allows teams to ship quickly, while having safety nets in place to catch issues early.
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, and 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.
The role:
We are looking for a Senior, proactive DevOps / DevEx Engineer to join our engineering team and help building and scaling the internal development platform. You would be building the tools, services and automation that empower the rest of our engineering team to ship safely and fast.
RevenueCat invests heavily in tooling. We already have custom services for CI/CD, automated one-push-per-commit releases with automatic canaries, Feature Flags, DB query approval workflows, VPN access workflows. We are using Pulumi and python for IaC to describe k8s services and associated infrastructure in a single place. We want to provide autonomy, build a self-serve culture that allows teams to move fast but ensures safety and best practices.
The advent of IA and agentic development is going to change a lot of things, and you will help shape this future fostering adoption while ensuring our security and architectural standards remain sane.
Your job is to take all this to the next level.
About you:
You are a builder: You don’t just use tools; you build them. You have 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, DevEx or Platform Engineering with a heavy emphasis on software development.
You are proactive: You see what is needed, you take action and own problems to turn them into solutions.
You love building frameworks, abstractions and automation: You see that the best way to ensure best practices are follow is to make something so easy and joyfull to use that nobody wants to use anything else.
You are AI-curious: You understand how LLMs and AI coding tools are changing engineering and want to help a world-class team leverage them effectively.
You move fast, test and iterate quickly.
Preferred Experience:
Experience with AWS cloud, k8s, docker, IaC, Github
Solid knowledge of Python
