About this role.
RevenueCat is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead RC Capital, a new financial-products engineering team building Early Payouts and future underwriting, risk monitoring, money movement, reconciliation, bank-integration, and fraud-detection capabilities. The role combines people leadership and hands-on technical direction, including roadmap development, code reviews, incident investigation, technical decision-making, and iterative delivery. Candidates need at least six years of software engineering experience, three years of engineering-management experience, and meaningful experience in fintech, financial services, or another regulated and risk-sensitive environment. This is a remote-first role aligned to Americas and EMEA coverage, with expected overlap across US and European working hours. Success depends on hiring and coaching a distributed team while balancing new feature delivery, reliability, technical debt, customer outcomes, and compliance-sensitive product concerns.

Sample interview questions
I would explain the product scope, regulatory and operational constraints, and the milestones used to reduce risk early. I would highlight how I partnered with compliance, product, and operations; introduced controls and observability; and shipped in small increments while tracking customer and reliability outcomes.
I would begin by mapping money flows, ledger and reconciliation requirements, eligibility and underwriting decisions, partner-bank interfaces, failure modes, and audit needs. I would favor clear domain boundaries, idempotent workflows, robust event tracing, reconciliation processes, and measurable risk controls before scaling volume.
I use transparent capacity planning and make reliability and debt visible alongside product work. I align investments to customer impact and risk, reserve recurring capacity for foundational improvements, define service-level objectives, and revisit priorities using delivery data and incident trends.
I establish clear goals, decision-making expectations, communication norms, and regular one-to-ones. I tailor coaching to each engineer's level and career goals, provide timely feedback, create ownership opportunities, and ensure distributed contributors have equitable access to context and advancement.
I would first contain customer impact and establish an incident owner and communication cadence. I would use SQL and event traces to reconcile records by transaction state and time window, identify the source of divergence, correct data through controlled procedures, and implement monitoring or process changes to prevent recurrence.
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’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead engineering for RC Capital – a zero-to-one team on the ground floor of a brand-new business line. You’ll help design, build, ship, and support the infrastructure behind Early Payouts and whatever we build next: underwriting and risk monitoring, money movement and reconciliation, partner bank integrations, and fraud detection.
This role blends the technical depth of our core Engineering Manager bar with direct exposure to financial products — factoring, underwriting, risk, banking integrations — so a background in fintech, financial services, or a related regulated/risk-sensitive domain is essential.
Please note: although we’re fully remote, this team is based across US and European time zones, so there’s some expectation of overlap in working hours.
