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 Application Security Engineer to work closely with engineering teams, PMs and external parties to ensure that RevenueCat's products are secure.

RevenueCat has a fast-shipping culture.

  • experience with common security tools and services, like SAST tools, proxies, etc.

  • experience identifying security issues through code review.

• You love building frameworks and automation: You see that the best way to ensure that security and best practices are followed is to make something so easy and joyful to use that nobody wants to use anything else.

• You are AI-Curious: You understand how LLMs and AI coding tools are changing engineering, you want to embrace and use them effectively to keep security level up. At the same time, you are familiar with new AI security risks regarding MCPs, prompt injection, etc, and want to build safer guardrails for agentic development and AI adoption in the product.

• You are proactive: You see what is needed, you take action and own problems to turn them into solutions.

• You are agile: You move fast, iterate quickly, pivot and reprioritize when needed to maximize impact.

• Understand deeply risks and threats on SDK, how SDK and backend interact and the backend application.

• Actively contribute to improve security, pushing and introducing frameworks, tools or services that have measurable impact.

• Collaborate closely with other teams, creating ties, trust relationships, providing security guidance.

Within the first 12 months, you'll:
