Role

Who you are

8+ years of experience in software engineering
Enthusiastic about working on a broad range of technical challenges across the stack
Attention to detail in designing a product with deep user empathy (in visual UX, API design, and everything in between)
Excited to engage with customers directly to shape the Orb product
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate (with support from Orb)
At Orb, we believe great engineers can learn any stack, so you do not need experience with these specific tools, and we encourage you to apply regardless:
Frontend: Typescript + React + Tailwind CSS
Backend: Python
Datastores: PostgreSQL + Apache Druid+ Clickhouse
Streaming Platforms: Kafka + Spark Streaming
Cloud Platform: AWS

What the job involves

As an early engineer at Orb, you’ll help to build the technical foundations of a critical product that needs to be reliable and accurate at scale
You’ll work closely with our customers to understand pain points in their business processes, and help incorporate those insights into our product roadmap
Our customers rely on Orb to transform an inherently complex domain (billing, from data ingestion to subscription management and revenue recognition) into an efficient, powerful, and easy-to-use experience
Design and maintain core pricing lifecycle primitives with a focus on extensibility and ease of use
Evolve the product data model to balance complexity and clarity
Scale real-time ingestion and query systems for large, high-performance deployments
Collaborate cross-functionally (PM, design, sales, customer success) to shape strategy and deliver value
Learn from and contribute to a highly skilled team

Our take

Orb founders Morales and Grover worked together as engineering leaders at Asana for five years, and during their time at the company they witnessed a plethora of changes to pricing and packing. The major changes were a burden not only for the financing team, but for the engineers themselves.

Realising they wanted more flexibility over how software-as-a-service (SaaS) products are billed and monetised, the pair developed Orb. It's a cloud-based software platform helping businesses create and manage pricing models, with a specific focus on helping businesses that are seeking flexible pricing options for their customers, such as subscription-based services or pay-as-you-go models.

Orb is backed by a number of investment organisations as well as founders and executives at the forefront of enterprise software. It expanded its team in 2023 and, in 2024, enjoyed $24 million in funding to accelerate its mission. It's now well-equipped to fulfil its vision of leveraging software so companies can be at their most effective.
