Proven engineering impact: You've driven outcomes in complex, production systems at scale — shipping projects that delivered measurable improvements in environments where requirements shifted under you. You separate essential from accidental complexity, make tradeoffs explicit, and use data to inform decisions without becoming paralyzed by it. Many strong candidates have 8+ years of experience, but we hire for impact and capability, not tenure.
What they're looking for
- Billing/payments/monetization domain experience: You bring strong domain knowledge in billing systems, subscription management, payment processing, or financial platforms. You understand metered billing, pricing models, entitlements, revenue recognition, and the operational complexity of supporting enterprise customers. You know that billing isn't just a backend problem — it touches sales, finance, support, and product, and you've navigated that reality.
- API, platform, and performance expertise: You've designed and built APIs that serve multiple consumers — internal teams, external partners, and user-facing products — and you know how to evolve systems without breaking existing integrations. You have a track record of identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks through profiling, caching, database optimization, and delivering measurable improvements that impact user experience and conversion.
- Outcome-driven and customer-focused: You care deeply about the problems our customers are trying to solve and define success by the results they achieve — not the elegance of the technical solution. You fall in love with the problem, not your first implementation, and are willing to rethink or pivot when it better serves the customer and the business.
- Cross-team leadership and proactive ownership: You've led technical initiatives that span multiple teams and operate with end-to-end ownership. You gather requirements, surface risks early, align stakeholders, and drive ambiguous problems through to measurable outcomes. You're a trusted partner to Engineering, Product, and Design leadership — helping shape roadmaps, translating business strategy into technical direction, and amplifying other engineers by raising standards and building durable foundations that create leverage across teams.
