Are you a Software Engineer who thrives on real ownership?
We value engineers who take responsibility for the full lifecycle of a feature—from understanding customer pain with product teams, to design, coding, deployment, and measuring impact.

Join the Billing team The billing team owns tax determination, invoice issuance, collection, and deferred payments.
Current focus includes migrating tax determination to a third‑party integration, rearchitecting invoice issuance for async processing, and automating invoice collection with AI.
There is also growing front‑end work to improve the end‑to‑end billing experience.
