Head of Security

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 RevenueCat makes building analyzing and growing mobile subscriptions easy.

We power monetization for thousands of apps from small indie developers to some of the largest apps in the world.

Our platform handles billions of events every day and sits in the critical path of our customers’ revenue.

Reliability and security are not support functions here.

They are core product requirements.

As the world changes with AI the security landscape is getting significantly more chaotic.

Supply chain attacks credential theft AI-assisted phishing malicious packages fraud infrastructure attacks… the pace and sophistication of threats are accelerating quickly.

We already have strong foundations: - SOC 2 Type II for several years - A strong infrastructure and reliability culture - A security engineer focused on infrastructure/security operations - Ongoing investment in application security with a very active bug bounty program - Product and engineering teams that genuinely care about security - Celebrate security awareness month with red team social attacks and other activities But we believe the next stage requires dedicated leadership and ownership across the entire security function.
