@RevenueCat is famously hard to get into We’ve just opened our first (and only) truly entry-level role And I suspect some of the best people for it won’t think to apply It’s called Product Expert Before anyone gets too excited about the “entry-level” bit: You still need to be amazing 😅 What you don’t need is to have spent the last 10 years becoming world-class at one very specific thing For this role, we’re looking for a broader set of skills: 👉 You’re amazing in a conversation with a founder, app growth professional or developer You can figure out what they’re trying to do, ask good questions, and actually help them move forward 👉 You know RevenueCat well enough to answer questions and give a useful demo Maybe you learned it at work, maybe you built your own app, maybe you entered Shipaton We care that you know your stuff, not where you learned it 👉 You have commercial common sense You can handle the straightforward commercial questions yourself, and recognize when it’s time to pull in an Account Executive 👉 You have technical common sense Same thing: You can help with the basics, and know when a conversation needs a Solutions Engineer You don’t have to be the person who can close the biggest deal AND architect the most complicated migration You do need to be the person who makes the first conversation genuinely useful (And who makes sure the next conversation actually happens) Already world-class at one of those things? Great! You’re very welcome to apply too We’re just opening this up to people who haven’t picked their specialization yet You’ll get to work with, and learn from, some genuinely amazing people Travel to industry events and meet RevenueCat users in person And build a foundation that could take you towards being an AE, an SE, a CSM, or wherever your strengths end up taking you For now, we’re hiring at least one person in the Americas and one in EMEA If you’ve ever looked at our jobs and thought “I’d LOVE to work there, but I’m not a senior specialist in any of these things”, this could be your foot in the door And if someone immediately came to mind while reading this: Tag them Especially if they’re the kind of person who’s brilliant at a bunch of things, but would never search for a job called “Product Expert”

I'm doing career day for a bunch of high-schoolers on Friday Was thinking of just showing them how to start an app business Do I have any teen app developer customers I could feature in my deck?

Slept for 10 hours straight last night. Equivalent to the total amount of sleep I got during @NewYorkAppWeek.

This is the best pizza in Chicago.
Bears players Kyler Gordon and Colston Loveland dropped a pizza review after last night’s win We cannot confirm or deny if they were trolling any Patriots fans that do pizza reviews

Overheard in NYC, “I don’t want AI on my phone at all. That’s how the Terminator starts.” Buddy, I have some bad news for you.
