Software Engineer, Monetization Platform

About the role

The Software Engineer, Monetization Platform serves as an engineer on the Product Platform Group with a primary focus on the systems that turn product usage, subscriptions, credits, commitments, and contracts into accurate customer outcomes and clean financial operations.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Product, Finance, Accounting, RevOps, and Engineering leadership to shape Drata’s long-term billing architecture and commercial flexibility across self-serve and enterprise motions.
• Help design the primitives of a modern billing platform: usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, subscriptions, overages, and invoice workflows.
• Build on a system that can accurately meter product usage at scale, transform raw events into billable quantities, and support pricing changes without requiring constant product rework.
• Build and evolve the entitlement layer that separates pricing and packaging from product behavior, so feature access, limits, credits, and plan controls are programmable rather than hardcoded.
• Work closely with SFDC admins, CPQ owners, and Finance systems stakeholders to ensure quote-to-cash flows are coherent across CRM, product, billing, ERP, and downstream reporting systems.
• Ensure billing systems are operationally trustworthy: idempotent event handling, strong reconciliation paths, reliable notifications, auditability, and clear observability for engineers and business teams.
• Troubleshoot the hard problems: invoice discrepancies, usage drift, contract edge cases, entitlement bugs, migration failures, and cross-system data mismatches.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a software engineer, including meaningful time owning business-critical backend systems in production.
• Experience architecting billing, payments, pricing, or quote-to-cash systems for a B2B SaaS company at meaningful scale.
• Experience designing APIs and event-driven systems that ingest, validate, aggregate, and reconcile high-volume operational data.
• Understanding of modern billing models, including usage-based pricing, subscriptions, prepaid credits, commitments, overages, hybrid packaging, and enterprise-specific commercial terms.
• Experience working directly with Accounting, Finance, RevOps, and GTM systems where data quality, auditability, and timing matter.
• Experience integrating with systems like Salesforce, CPQ, NetSuite, payment platforms, and downstream finance/reporting tooling.
• Strong proficiency with: JavaScript/TypeScript and object-oriented programming, Building and consuming RESTful web services, Relational databases, data modeling, and transactional workflows, Distributed systems and asynchronous processing, Writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, Logging, telemetry, and production debugging, Git and modern CI/CD practices.
• At least one major cloud platform and modern infrastructure tooling.
• A strong product and systems mindset: you can model the commercial domain cleanly, but you also know billing architecture is ultimately customer experience architecture.

Qualifications

• Usage-based billing platforms such as Metronome, especially concepts like usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, and programmable invoice workflows.
• Entitlement and monetization platforms such as Stigg, especially entitlements as a system of record for feature access, limits, credits, and packaging logic.
• Built systems that support both PLG/self-serve and enterprise sales motions on the same technical foundation.
• Audit logs, RBAC, webhooks, durable queues, and other patterns that make billing and monetization systems reliable and debuggable in production.
• AI-assisted development tools.
