RevenueCat is a Series C-backed monetization platform for mobile app developers, processing $16B+ in annual purchase volume and serving 50%+ of newly shipped subscription apps. The company is a remote-first team of 150+ people across 25+ countries. As a Senior Design Engineer, you will work at the intersection of Product Design and Frontend Engineering, translating 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 feel when they ship. You'll join a small design team with a high bar for craft and a strong builder mindset. The role requires someone who treats code as a design medium, is comfortable working inside real production systems, collaborates closely with designers and engineers, and takes responsibility for the final quality of what reaches customers. In the first month, you'll get to know the product, customers, and teams; familiarize yourself with the design system and front-end stack; talk to customers; and start contributing to your first meaningful project. Within three months, you'll have taken full ownership of design engineering work and shipped your first project end-to-end. Within six months, you'll be a trusted partner to both Design and Engineering, raising the bar for interaction quality and accessibility. Within twelve months, you'll have shipped meaningful product improvements and helped improve reusable patterns and design-to-code workflows. RevenueCat offers competitive equity in a fast-growing Series C startup backed by top-tier investors including Y Combinator, a 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, a paid desk at a co-working space, and a workspace budget with continuous learning stipend. REQUIREMENTS: - 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 high bar for layout, typography, interaction, motion, responsiveness, accessibility, and detail - Clear, maintainable frontend code with strong reasoning about state, component architecture, performance, testing, and edge cases - Strong design judgment and ability to make good decisions when specifications are incomplete or constraints emerge - Systems thinking: knowing when to reuse, extend, or create patterns and abstractions without unnecessary complexity - Ability to make sound trade-offs between customer value, design quality, technical feasibility, scope, and risk - Close collaboration with Design and Engineering teams, involving the right people at the right moments - Clear communication in remote, asynchronous environments with ownership beyond narrow role boundaries - Comfort with modern tools, including AI-assisted development, while maintaining ability to understand, evaluate, debug, and evolve shipped work - Excitement about the mission to help developers make more money
