• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, operations, infrastructure) to design and deliver reliable billing platform experiences • Architect and develop scalable backend services and APIs across the billing ecosystem including subscription lifecycle management, usage aggregation, and payment processing • Lead complex technical efforts end-to-end from requirements decomposition through design, implementation, and production rollout with minimal oversight • Provide technical guidance and architectural direction to engineers across the team; establish and uphold engineering standards for code quality, testing, and observability • Own the reliability, scalability, and performance of critical billing components; proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks, regressions, and integration failures • Drive technical design decisions for new platform capabilities such as usage-based billing models, and billing reconciliation pipelines • Establish deep end-to-end ownership of one or more core billing domains. You are the person the team turns to when something is unclear or broken
Job Requirements
- 14+ years of experience designing and developing scalable, enterprise-grade backend systems ideally including billing, commerce, or financial platforms
- BS/MS degree in Computer Science or a closely related technical discipline where software engineering was a core requirement
- Deep professional expertise in Java (primary); Python or other modern languages a plus
- Proven track record architecting, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems in production including design, deployment, and long-term ownership
- Strong understanding of event-driven architecture with hands-on experience using Kafka or equivalent messaging brokers; experience building and maintaining event pipelines between heterogeneous systems is highly valued
- Experience integrating with third-party platforms and enterprise systems such as ERP, CRM, billing engines, or payment processors
- Solid grasp of API-driven design, REST and async patterns with a focus on testability, backward compatibility, and versioning
- Security-first mindset: strong working knowledge of OAuth2, JWT, and securing inter-service communication in a microservices environment

- Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes in cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Familiarity with observability practices — logging, metrics, distributed tracing — and using them to diagnose and resolve production issues
- Actively embraces AI-assisted development tooling (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude) as a force multiplier; comfortable integrating these into day-to-day engineering workflow and helping teammates do the same
