Senior DevOps Engineer at RevenueCat - Remote APAC/EMEA — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
RevenueCat is purpose-built for remote work — with 150+ employees across 25+ countries, this role is genuinely location-independent, not just nominally remote. The job description signals a strong async culture: self-sufficiency is explicitly called out as a success metric, and the team operates across many timezones by design.
Timezone flexibility: The role is open to APAC, EMEA, Canada, and the USA — covering virtually every timezone. There are no stated fixed-hour requirements, though on-call rotation (starting at the 3-month mark) may impose some schedule constraints depending on your region. Clarify on-call coverage windows during interviews.
Visa considerations for nomads: With no country restriction beyond the hint regions, you have wide flexibility. Popular options include:
- Portugal (NHR/Digital Nomad Visa): Lisbon is feasible on a competitive senior DevOps salary; monthly costs ~$2,000–$2,800 for a comfortable lifestyle.
- Thailand (LTR Visa or METV): Bangkok or Chiang Mai run $1,000–$1,800/month — excellent value and strong co-working infrastructure.
- Colombia (Digital Nomad Visa): Medellín costs roughly $1,200–$1,800/month with a thriving tech community.
Travel-relevant perks: The $2,000 workspace setup stipend covers ergonomic or portable gear for travel. The $1,000 annual learning stipend can fund certifications or conferences globally. The 4–5 weeks of suggested PTO creates meaningful windows for extended travel. No explicit co-working allowance was listed — worth asking about.
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 DevOps / DevEx Engineer to join our engineering team and help build and scale the internal development platform. You would be building the tools, services, and automation that empower the rest of our engineering team to ship safely and fast.
RevenueCat invests heavily in tooling. We already have custom services for CI/CD, automated one-push-per-commit releases with automatic canaries, Feature Flags, DB query approval workflows, and VPN access workflows. We use Pulumi and Python for IaC to describe Kubernetes services and associated infrastructure in a single place. We want to provide autonomy, build a self-serve culture that allows teams to move fast but ensures safety and best practices.
The advent of AI and agentic development is going to change a lot of things, and you will help shape this future by fostering adoption while ensuring our security and architectural standards remain sound.
Your job is to take all this to the next level.
About You
You are a builder: You don't just use tools; you build them. You have 5+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, DevEx, or Platform Engineering with a heavy emphasis on software development.
You are proactive: You see what is needed, you take action, and you own problems to turn them into solutions.
You love building frameworks, abstractions, and automation: You believe the best way to ensure 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 and want to help a world-class team leverage them effectively.
You move fast, test and iterate quickly.
