Job description

About Orb:

Orb is transforming how modern AI and software companies monetize at scale. We've built the next-generation billing infrastructure that turns complex usage-based pricing into competitive advantage. Our developer-first approach powers companies like Vercel, Pinecone, and Replit, delivering real-time billing automation, lightning-fast pricing experiments, and granular revenue analytics.

Backed by $44.1M in funding from top investors like Mayfield, Menlo Ventures, and Greylock, we're a high-velocity team shipping infrastructure that's defining the future of monetization.

For SF Bay Area and NYC residents, we've built a hybrid work culture where we are in office 3 days/week. For remote roles, we ask you to join us in person 1x per quarter. Our values, customer centricity, minutes matter, run with it, and attention to detail shape how we work and grow as a team.

About the role:

As an early engineer at Orb, you’ll help to build the technical foundations of a critical product that needs to be reliable and accurate at scale. You’ll work closely with our customers to understand pain points in their business processes, and help incorporate those insights into our product roadmap. Our customers rely on Orb to transform an inherently complex domain (billing, from data ingestion to subscription management and revenue recognition) into an efficient, powerful, and easy-to-use experience.

In this role you will:

• Design and maintain core pricing lifecycle primitives with a focus on extensibility and ease of use
• Evolve the product data model to balance complexity and clarity
• Scale real-time ingestion and query systems for large, high-performance deployments
• Collaborate cross-functionally (PM, design, sales, customer success) to shape strategy and deliver value
• Learn from and contribute to a highly skilled team

About you:

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering
• Enthusiastic about working on a broad range of technical challenges across the stack
• Attention to detail in designing a product with deep user empathy (in visual UX, API design, and everything in between)
• Excited to engage with customers directly to shape the Orb product
• Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate (with support from Orb)
