The role, at a glance.
RevenueCat is seeking a senior product-focused data scientist to identify opportunities, shape product strategy, and build customer-facing data features. The role combines exploratory analysis, statistical experimentation, forecasting, and production predictive modeling for a mobile subscription monetization platform. The successful candidate will partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Analytics while owning initiatives from ambiguous questions through deployment and iteration. Core technical work uses Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, dbt, and AWS. This is a high-autonomy role with an on-call component and a strong expectation of proactive product influence.

Sample interview questions
I would first define the product decision the prediction must support and the relevant prediction horizon. I would validate event definitions and cohort completeness, create features from acquisition, engagement, purchase, renewal, and churn behavior, then compare transparent baseline models with more advanced approaches. I would evaluate calibration, error by customer segment, stability over time, and whether the output improves customer decisions before productionizing monitoring and retraining workflows.
I would define the target user population, primary outcome, guardrail metrics, and the minimum practically meaningful effect before launch. I would randomly assign eligible customers or users where feasible, confirm instrumentation and exposure logging, and use an analysis plan that accounts for clustering or repeated observations. I would communicate uncertainty clearly and combine statistical results with qualitative feedback and operational considerations.
I start by clarifying the decision to be made rather than asking only for a metric request. I map available data, identify assumptions and risks, conduct focused exploratory analysis, and formulate a small number of testable hypotheses. I then present a recommendation with supporting evidence, limitations, expected impact, and a concrete next step such as an experiment, feature change, or additional instrumentation.
I would define data-quality checks, model-performance metrics, and business outcome metrics before deployment. Monitoring would cover schema changes, missingness, feature drift, prediction distributions, calibration, latency, and segment-level performance. I would also establish alert thresholds, ownership, rollback procedures, and a regular review cadence with engineering and product stakeholders.
I lead with the decision, customer impact, and level of confidence rather than methodology details. I use plain-language explanations, clear visualizations, and practical examples to explain the magnitude of an effect and important caveats. I provide the technical appendix when needed, but ensure stakeholders leave knowing what changed, why it matters, and what action I recommend.
About this role.
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 are looking for a Senior Product Data Scientist who is deeply product-minded and highly proactive.
This is not a role for someone who waits for perfectly defined questions or works in isolation. We are looking for someone who actively looks at our data, understands our customers’ pain points, identifies opportunities, and pushes ideas forward.
You will work closely with Product, Engineering, and Analytics to shape what we build, why we build it, and how we measure success. Your work will directly power customer-facing features such as LTV prediction, experimentation and statistical significance, benchmarking, and entirely new data-driven products we have not built yet.
You will be expected to bring ideas to the table, backed by analysis and clear hypotheses, and to influence product direction through data.
Our data stack includes a Python backend, PostgreSQL production databases, Snowflake, dbt, and AWS.
What you will do
Proactively explore RevenueCat’s data to identify customer problems, opportunities, and product bets.
Translate ambiguous product and business problems and questions into clear analyses, models, and recommendations.
Partner with Product Managers to shape roadmaps, not just execute on them.
Design, build, and ship production-grade predictive and descriptive models that power customer-facing features.
Define and evaluate statistical approaches for experimentation, benchmarking, and forecasting.
Communicate insights clearly and persuasively to technical and non-technical audiences, with a focus on customer impact.
Continuously iterate on shipped models and features based on real-world usage and feedback.
This role has real ownership. You will not just support decisions, you will help drive them.
About you
You are a Senior Data Scientist who cares deeply about impact and product outcomes.
From a skills perspective, you bring:
5+ years of experience working as a Data Scientist.
Strong SQL skills and comfort with data modeling.
Experience building and deploying predictive and descriptive models in production.
Experience writing or collaborating on production-ready Python code.
A solid understanding of statistics and experimentation, ideally including Bayesian approaches.
The ability to clearly explain complex ideas and results to broad audiences.
You recognize yourself in several of these:
You are highly proactive and opinionated, and you are comfortable pushing ideas forward.
You enjoy working with messy, real-world data and imperfect information.
You care more about creating customer value than academic elegance.
You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where none exists.
You enjoy working closely with Product teams and influencing decisions.
You are excited by the consumer subscription ecosystem and curious about how developers make money.
