About the role
Senior Backend Engineer on the Billing team responsible for building and modernizing the systems that power pricing, entitlement, usage, and billing integrations, with emphasis on correctness, reliability, and end-to-end ownership.
Responsibilities
- Design and build the systems that define our plans, pricing, entitlements, and limits, and expose them through our API.
- Decompose billing from our monolith into services that are correct, testable, and independently deployable.
- Own correctness end to end — usage metering, reconciliation, and the invoices and usage data customers see.
- Operate what you build: SLOs, alerting, on-call, and fixing root causes rather than repeating mitigations.
Qualifications
- 6+ years of professional software-engineering experience, with significant work on complex backend applications.
- Experience decomposing a monolith
- A track record on systems where correctness is non-negotiable, and the habits that come with it: idempotency, reconciliation, reversible migrations, and safe cutovers.
- Proficiency in at least one backend language (Go, Rust, Python, etc.) and familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS or equivalent), plus strong production ownership including on-call.
