About the role

Senior Staff Software Engineer to lead monetization platform development, owning contracts, entitlements, subscriptions, usage metering, billing, invoicing, payments, tax, compliance, and revenue workflows across products and markets.

Responsibilities

  • Own major technical charters across CPQ, contracts, entitlements, subscriptions, usage metering, billing, invoicing, payments, tax, compliance, and revenue workflows.
  • Define architecture for systems requiring strong guarantees around data integrity, auditability, reliability, recoverability, and clear ownership across service boundaries.
  • Design durable platform abstractions that allow product teams to introduce new packaging, pricing, entitlement, metered billing, subscription, and contract models without building custom one-off solutions.
  • Lead multi-team initiatives from problem definition and architecture through technical design, execution, migration, launch, and long-term operational ownership.
  • Define clear service boundaries, APIs, data models, ownership models, and failure-handling strategies across interconnected monetization systems.
  • Make high-quality technical tradeoffs across correctness, scalability, performance, cost, compliance, maintainability, and delivery speed.
  • Stay hands-on through design reviews, code reviews, debugging, prototyping, production investigations, and implementation-level decisions.
  • Partner closely with Product, Revenue Operations, Finance, Accounting, Payments, Platform, Security, Data, and product engineering teams.
  • Identify systemic technical risks early and drive alignment on durable solutions, particularly where customer trust or financial accuracy is at stake.
  • Establish engineering standards for critical monetization systems, including testing, observability, incident learning, migration safety, rollout mechanisms, and operational readiness.
  • Mentor Staff, Senior, and mid-level engineers and help grow technical leadership across the organization.
  • Raise the engineering bar through strong technical judgment, thoughtful design reviews, clear technical writing, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, preferably across backend engineering, platform engineering, infrastructure, distributed systems, product engineering, or systems engineering.
  • Proven experience operating at Senior Staff, Principal Engineer, or equivalent Staff+ scope.
  • Deep hands-on engineering foundation with strong coding, debugging, system design, and production ownership experience.
  • Experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems with demanding reliability, observability, and data correctness requirements.
  • Strong architecture depth across APIs, databases, data modeling, concurrency, event-driven systems, service boundaries, reliability, performance, failure modes, and long-term maintainability.
  • Demonstrated ability to own ambiguous, cross-functional, multi-team technical initiatives from definition through production ownership.
  • Strong technical judgment and the ability to make tradeoffs across product needs, business constraints, engineering quality, and long-term platform direction.
  • Ability to influence senior engineers, product leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders without relying on formal authority.
  • Strong mentorship record and a track record of raising the technical bar for engineers around you.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, especially when explaining complex technical decisions to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfort operating in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments.
  • Deep backend programming experience in one or more languages. Python and Django experience is a strong plus.
