Job summary

Orb is building the runtime layer for usage-based billing, with a hybrid work model for SF Bay Area, New York, and Amsterdam. You’ll own a product surface end to end, from customer conversations through API design, implementation, and rollout.

You’ll design and ship alerting and analytics, build real-time entitlement and spend-control primitives, and shape the roadmap that other teams rely on. Collaborate with PM, design, sales, and enterprise customers to turn pain points into scalable platform

Qualifications

• 9+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of owning products or systems end to end.
• Energized by ambiguity and ownership — you want a say in what gets built, not just how.
• Strong product instincts and genuine customer empathy; you understand business impact and revenue implications.
• Comfortable designing APIs and data models that other teams and customers depend on.
• Depth in real-time, low-latency systems; able to balance product needs with engineering realities.
• Attention to detail across API design, product UX, and everything in between.

Responsibilities

• Own a product surface end to end — from customer conversations and product design through API design, implementation, and rollout.
• Design and ship alerting and analytics that are granular, flexible, and fast enough to meet SLAs.
• Build entitlement and spend-control primitives (credit balances, allocations, usage alerts, rate limits) in real time.
• Shape the roadmap, primitives, and interfaces other teams build against.
• Collaborate across PM, design, sales, and customer success, and work directly with enterprise customers to translate pain points into features.
