Platform Architect

Description

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.
