📋 Description

• Design, develop, and maintain TypeScript microservices that power billing lifecycle management across self-serve and enterprise plan models. • Build and evolve integrations with payment processing, usage metering, and CRM platforms to support contract and entitlement synchronization. • Implement reliable event-driven workflows using Kafka or similar platforms to process contract events, provision entitlements, and trigger billing state transitions. • Design and maintain the entitlement enforcement layer that gates product access based on plan type and contract state across Kong's multi-tenant platform. • Own the provisioning pipeline that maps closed sales opportunities to live org configurations, reducing manual intervention and human error. • Collaborate with product managers, RevOps, and finance stakeholders to translate billing requirements into reliable, auditable system behavior. • Build and improve internal tooling for billing operations, including admin interfaces used by customer support and finance teams. • Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code with comprehensive unit, integration, and end-to-end tests across a high-stakes financial domain. • Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and architecture planning with a focus on correctness, idempotency, and operational resilience. • Participate in on-call rotation and own incident response for billing platform services. • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of engineering rigor and operational accountability.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend services and distributed systems. • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Node.js with experience building production microservices using frameworks such as NestJS. • Deep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL or similar) including schema design, query optimization, and data modeling for financial or transactional domains. • Experience designing and building event-driven architectures using Kafka, SQS, or similar messaging platforms. • Proven experience integrating with third-party financial or billing platforms such as Stripe, Zuora, Chargebee, or usage metering systems. • Strong understanding of distributed systems concepts including consistency, idempotency, eventual consistency, and failure recovery in financial workflows. • Experience building microservices that consume and produce CRM events as part of automated provisioning or fulfillment workflows. • Solid understanding of multi-tenant SaaS architecture and the complexity of enforcing per-org entitlements at scale. • Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration for deploying and operating production services. • Strong computer science fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and system design. • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins. • Demonstrated skills using code repositories and collaboration tools (GitHub, JIRA, Confluence, or similar). • Experience working with globally distributed teams. • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex data consistency issues across distributed systems.
