About the role

Senior engineering leader responsible for building and scaling Orb's infrastructure and monetization systems, leading ~30 engineers, and defining technical strategy to support growth within a hybrid work model.

Responsibilities

  • Coach and grow our engineering managers and senior ICs via hands-on mentorship, clear growth paths, and real career development for the people building Orb.
  • Build our engineering leadership bench and own talent and retention strategy as the team grows and expands to multiple offices.
  • Set and clearly articulate technical strategy by holding your own in deep technical conversations, and raising the bar on how we design systems for correctness and scale.
  • Partner cross-functionally with GTM and our VP of Product to shape product, competitive, and monetization strategy.
  • Establish the technical and process foundations for Orb's next stage of growth: lightweight, high-leverage, and built to scale without slowing the team down.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years in engineering with several years leading engineering organizations, ideally at infrastructure, platform, or developer-tools companies.
  • Infra- or platform-heavy technical background, with real depth in distributed systems, data, and designing for correctness and scale.
  • You've scaled teams and systems through meaningful growth and you're excited to re-calibrate into scrappy, early-stage mode rather than run a heavy process.
  • Genuinely leaned into billing and monetization. Usage-based pricing and revenue infrastructure is a domain you find interesting and want to go deep on — this is central to the role.
  • A proven people leader who has coached managers, developed senior ICs, and built durable leadership benches, ideally across multiple offices.
  • A strong cross-functional partner who works naturally with product and go-to-market to turn technical strategy into business results.
  • Bias toward lightweight, high-leverage processes; you’ll build foundations that scale without bureaucracy.
  • Some domestic and international travel required.
