[Hiring] Senior Design Engineer @RevenueCat

Role Description

As a Senior Design Engineer at RevenueCat, you’ll work at the intersection of Product Design and Frontend Engineering, turning design intent into polished, production-quality experiences. You’ll move fluidly between Figma and code, resolve gaps in specifications, make thoughtful technical and design trade-offs, and help shape how complex product experiences actually feel when they ship.

You’ll join a small design team with a high bar for craft and a strong builder mindset. We’re looking for someone who:

• Treats code as a design medium.
• Is comfortable working inside real production systems.
• Collaborates closely with designers and engineers.
• Takes responsibility for the final quality of what reaches customers.

Qualifications

• Strong track record building substantial production UI and bridging design and frontend engineering in complex product environments.
• Ability to translate design intent into polished production experiences with a high bar for layout, typography, interaction, motion, responsiveness, accessibility, and detail.
• Writes clear, maintainable frontend code and reasons well about state, component architecture, performance, testing, and edge cases.
• Strong design judgment and decision-making skills when specifications are incomplete or constraints arise.
• Thinks in systems, knowing when to reuse, extend, or create patterns and abstractions without introducing unnecessary complexity.
• Makes sound trade-offs between customer value, design quality, technical feasibility, scope, and risk.
• Collaborates closely with Design and Engineering, involving the right people at the right moments.
• Communicates clearly in a remote, asynchronous environment and takes ownership beyond narrow role boundaries.
• Uses modern tools, including AI-assisted development, while understanding, evaluating, debugging, and evolving what you ship.
• Excited about our mission to help developers make more money.

Requirements

• In the first month, you'll:
  • Get to know our product, customers, and teams.
  • Familiarize yourself with our design system, component library, and front-end stack.
  • Talk to some customers to understand their needs.
  • Start contributing to the implementation and design of your first meaningful project.
• Within the first 3 months, you'll:
  • Have taken full ownership of the design engineering work.
  • Have shipped the first project you worked on end-to-end, from design through implementation.
  • Work with your team to discover opportunities and build solutions that deliver value to our customers.
• Within the first 6 months, you'll:
  • Be a trusted partner to both Design and Engineering, helping teams turn ambitious product ideas into polished, shippable experiences.
  • Raise the bar for interaction quality, frontend craft, accessibility, and implementation quality within your area.
  • Contribute to the evolution of our design system, shared components, and reusable patterns where they improve consistency and speed.
• Within the first 12 months, you'll:
  • Have shipped meaningful product improvements end to end, from early exploration through production and iteration.
  • Help improve reusable patterns, tooling, and design-to-code workflows that make Design and Engineering more effective without adding unnecessary complexity.
  • Be a strong advocate for craft, customer value, and thoughtful technical judgment across RevenueCat.

Benefits

• 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.
