📋 Description

• Scaling our billing system to $100M+ revenue (the hundy) by the end of 2026, and well beyond (the billy?). • Building billing primitives flexible enough that launching a new pricing model doesn't require rearchitecting everything. • Making our usage reporting and limiting near-realtime. • Turning usage and messy raw invoice data into actionable internal reports, accurate forecasts, and compliant financials. • Making all of the above go brrr.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong backend engineer. Python, SQL, and complex data modeling should feel like home. • Edge cases make you excited, not anxious. • Experience with data pipelines, task queues, and workflow orchestration - we still have a lot of Celery but are leaning more into Temporal and Dagster. • If you've done something manually twice (or seen someone else do it) - you're already building an automation or an internal tool to make it easier. • Happy paths are maybe 10% of billing. You treat error handling, rollbacks, and retries as the actual work - not TODOs you'll "get to later". • You don't need someone to tell you what to build. You've started a company, led a major project from scratch, or shipped an impressive side project.

🏖️ Benefits

• Health insurance • 401(k) matching • Flexible work hours • Paid time off
