Member of Technical Staff (Software Engineer, Monetization)

About the role

In 2026, we launched Computer, the defining product for the new era of agentic AI. Millions of people now use Perplexity to transform knowledge into action, and every action an agent takes is metered, budgeted, and settled through the billing platform this role owns. As a monetization engineer at Perplexity, you'll own the abstractions that let product teams ship new SKUs, run pricing experiments, and convert users into paying customers, without needing to understand billing internals. The usage-based billing system this team owns is foundational to Perplexity Computer and our agentic products: metering every agent action in real time, enforcing credit budgets, and settling costs across entirely new interaction models. You'll work across subscriptions, usage-based billing, and enterprise contracts to ensure every revenue path is reliable, observable, and easy to extend.

Why Perplexity is Different: Craftsmanship – we build high quality, tasteful products targeting both the AI native and AI curious. Ownership – you identify the problem, design the solution and ship it. Entrepreneurship – we think like founders, act with urgency, and hustle to deliver for each other and our users. Scholarship – work among highly talented peers, pursuing knowledge
