Senior Design Engineer

Senior Design Engineer

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, and takes responsibility for the final quality of what reaches customers.

About you:

• You have a strong track record building substantial production UI and bridging design and frontend engineering in complex product environments.
• You can translate design intent into polished production experiences with a high bar for layout, typography, interaction, motion, responsiveness, accessibility, and detail.
• You write clear, maintainable frontend code and can reason well about state, component architecture, performance, testing, and edge cases.
• You have strong design judgment and can make good decisions when specifications are incomplete, implementation reveals constraints, or the right solution is not obvious.
• You think in systems, knowing when to reuse, extend, or create patterns and abstractions without introducing unnecessary complexity.
• You can make sound trade-offs between customer value, design quality, technical feasibility, scope, and risk.
• You collaborate closely with Design and Engineering, involve the right people at the right moments, and stay responsible for quality through implementation and follow-up.
• You communicate clearly in a remote, asynchronous environment and take ownership beyond narrow role boundaries.
• You use modern tools, including AI-assisted development, when they help you move faster, while still being able to understand, evaluate, debug, and evolve what you ship.
• You are excited about our mission to help developers make more money.

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.

What we offer:

• 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
