DevOps Engineer

Appcharge is a leading direct-to-consumer platform for app publishers. We help publishers sell digital goods directly to their users – bypassing traditional app store commissions and owning the full payment and commerce experience.

The result: higher margins, better flexibility, and a more direct relationship with end users.Backed by $89M from leading investors and operators, we’ve grown 14x in the past year and now process over half a billion dollars annually.

We’re building the infrastructure that lets modern app businesses take back control of monetization – at scale.

As a DevOps Engineer you spearhead the transformation and scaling of our infrastructure.

If you are an engineer who is passionate about developing an innovative product, making an impact, and leading and shaping an entire domain in the company, Appcharge is where you want to be!

In your day-to-day you will collaborate with all teams in our R&D, and take part in analyzing challenges, bottlenecks and issues, designing, planning, driving key initiatives, building Appcharge infrastructure and mentoring the teams.
