Jack & Jill · San Francisco, CA · 5 days ago
On-siteEngineering$66/hrFull-time
What You Will Do
- Arcitect and lead the transition to “Pricing V2,” implementing usage-metering pipelines, concurrency holds, and automated provisioning for enterprise clients.
- Build robust infrastructure for coupon and credit lifecycles, enabling the growth team to launch self-serve promotions without direct engineering intervention.
- Ensure financial correctness across parallel payment providers (Orb, Stripe, Apple IAP) by developing idempotent webhook processing and reconciliation pipelines to prevent revenue loss.
Who This Is a Fit For
- Proven experience building or owning usage-based billing systems, ideally with deep expertise in Stripe and exposure to Orb or Apple IAP.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and NestJS for backend services, with the ability to manage AWS data plumbing including Lambda, DynamoDB, and CDK.
- Deep understanding of distributed systems principles, including event durability, reconciliation, and exactly-once processing, specifically within a payments or fintech context.
Why This Role Is Remarkable
- Own the mission-critical revenue domain at a fast-growing, ~40-person startup where AI is the core product, not just a marketing hook.
- Join a well-funded Series B company backed by top-tier investors like Sequoia and CRV, offering the stability of capital with the impact of an early team.
- Solve complex distributed-systems challenges where “close enough” isn’t an option, moving from manual workarounds to sophisticated, automated billing infrastructure at scale.
