Senior Engineering Manager, Billing

At the company, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. Our mission is to eliminate the tradeoff between the power of hyperscalers and the simplicity of developer-friendly platforms—so teams can ship fast, scale reliably, and focus on their product, not infrastructure.

Unlike complex hyperscalers or ephemeral edge/serverless solutions, the company offers a developer-first experience with persistent compute, dynamic autoscaling, built-in orchestration, and observability, allowing teams to launch, scale, and manage real-world applications without writing infrastructure code or managing servers. Whether you're building LLM-powered applications, scalable SaaS products, or async processing pipelines, the company empowers teams to move fast and scale confidently from MVP to millions of users.

Our platform is trusted by over 7 million developers worldwide and continues to grow rapidly. In February 2026, we raised an additional $100M in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $260M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive—designed for the speed of modern AI development.

We’re a diverse and talented team that values craft, velocity, and user experience. If you’re excited to help shape the future of the intelligent cloud and empower developers everywhere, we’d love to hear from you.

APPLYING TO the company

We're seeking candidates who possess high integrity, humility, and an insatiable drive to learn. Through reasoned discussions and continuous feedback, we strive to improve both individually and collectively. We foster an environment of mutual trust and respect, empowering effective debate to achieve the best outcomes for our customers and team.

We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups in the tech community to apply and understand that not all successful candidates will meet each requirement listed.

Our interview process is unique to each role, and we value the candidate experience just as much as our customer experience. We hope your conversations with us reflect a thoughtful process that is illuminative, enjoyable, and respectful of your time.

About the Role

Billing is mission-critical to the company’s success. Every service, database, and workload that runs on the company ends up on an invoice, and customers trust us to get that invoice right. As Senior Engineering Manager for the Billing team, you’ll lead the organization that makes sure customers are billed accurately, reliably, and transparently as the company scales.

You’ll set the multi-quarter strategy and own the technical direction, people, and execution behind the company’s usage-based billing systems: how usage is captured, how it flows through our data pipelines and third-party billing platforms, and how it lands as a correct charge. You’ll be Engineering’s senior partner to Finance, Product, and Customer Experience leadership, turning pricing, reporting, and customer needs into a roadmap your team can ship.

This role is for a seasoned technical leader who wants to build the organization, the leaders, and the systems that keep billing right as usage, pricing, and our customer base keep growing.

What You’ll Do

• Lead and grow the Billing engineering team, which owns how the company turns platform usage into accurate charges: usage capture, data pipelines, third-party billing platforms (Orb, Metronome, Stripe, or similar), and invoicing

• Own the roadmap for the company’s billing systems, from usage metering through invoicing, reconciliation, and financial reporting

• Drive billing correctness and reliability: build the monitoring, reconciliation, and testing that catch errors before customers do

• Partner with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience to align the roadmap with pricing, reporting, and customer needs

• Hire and develop engineers to support planned team growth, while keeping the team’s focus clear as billing scope expands

• Make key architectural decisions, balancing long-term billing platform investment against near-term pricing launches and fixes

• Build a strong performance management and career development practice for a team that includes senior ICs

What We’re Looking For

• Strong people leadership — the top priority for this role

• Hands-on enough to review code, prototype, and contribute directly when it helps the team

• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with adaptability and a growth mindset

• Proven experience building and scaling teams, ideally growing a group from a handful of engineers into a larger org

• Experience managing engineers; including senior and staff engineers; hiring, and performance management

• Hands-on experience with usage-based billing, payments, or other revenue-critical systems, including third-party platforms like Orb, Metronome, or Stripe

• Ability to partner closely with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience without needing to fill those functions yourself

• Strong business instincts, with the ability to connect engineering investment to billing accuracy, revenue, and customer trust

• Background from either a startup or a larger company is fine. What matters is experience and ability to operate in a fast-paced environment

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience leading a billing platform migration or a pricing model change.

• Familiarity with financial reconciliation and reporting processes.

• Background in distributed systems or event-driven architectures.

• Experience building for developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, or DevTools.

If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need.

BENEFITS

• 4 weeks of paid vacation.

• 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents to bond with a newly born, adopted, or fostered child. We will also work with you to create a supportive plan of return.

• Long-term disability, life insurance, and 401K plans.

• 100% employer-paid medical coverage and 99% employer-paid dental and vision coverage for you and a dependent. FSAs and HSAs are available as well.

• Monthly lifestyle stipend for wellness, mental health and therapy, hobbies, etc.

• Monthly cell phone and internet subsidy.

• Commuter benefits for Renders in the Bay Area, and home office stipends for remote Renders.

• Continuous learning benefits & related support.
