About The Position

• Experience building and shipping publisher-facing ad monetization products for mobile apps.
• Firsthand experience solving the product, technical, and business problems involved in helping developers monetize ad inventory.
• Deep understanding of the mechanics of mobile ad monetization, including how publisher inventory, demand sources, auctions, pricing, mediation, and measurement interact.
• Understanding of the incentives of the different participants in the ad ecosystem and ability to reason about both technical and commercial implications of product decisions.
• Excited about RevenueCat's mission to help developers make more money and expanding that mission beyond subscriptions.
• Entrepreneurial mindset and excitement to take an initiative with early traction and help turn it into a significant product area.

• Demonstrated ability to ship and learn quickly, including finding pragmatic solutions to hard problems with many constraints.

• Ability to communicate clearly across different audiences and media, particularly in writing.
