Company mission

To provide every business with the infrastructure to unlock their revenue.

Role

Who you are

  • You have 4+ years of experience in software engineering, with a specific focus on web client technologies
  • Enthusiastic about working on a broad range of frontend technical challenges, from reusable UI architecture, to robust data fetching and optimistic updates, to the perils of z-indexing one-offs
  • Attention to detail in designing a product with deep user empathy (in visual UX, conceptual modeling, and more), and excitement to partner closely with Orb's Product Design team to manifest great UX
  • 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)

Desirable

  • Have worked on developer-facing products
  • Have experience building robust UI for complex workflows, and working with design and PM partners to think through edge cases
  • Thrive in the world of CSS and TypeScript - pixel-perfection and buttery-smooth UI are your forte

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
  • Orb has a broad range of technical and experience challenges that you’ll tackle in concert with our team:
  • In the presence of significant domain complexity, our product needs to be exceptionally easy to use - controls should be intuitive, system behavior should be easy to predict, and exception states should be easy to understand
  • Orb’s product approach centers around extensibility, where developers can build on top what comes out-of-the-box - maximizing flexibility and extensibility, while providing appropriate guardrails to lead users into the "pit of success", is a perennial challenge
  • The Core Billing workstream owns the product surfaces that power customers' business-critical billing-related workflows, across a number of different user personas (think: customer creation, plan creation and versioning, subscription lifecycle management) - there's a ton of inherent complexity and challenge in making these workflows correct, intuitive, and snappy, and you'll be driving standards for excellence here
  • You’ll also help lay the groundwork for engineering and product processes, working closely with PM and Design to ensure that our team can continue to build excellent user experiences quickly and serve our customers for years to come

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.

Realizing they wanted more flexibility over how software-as-a-service (SaaS) products are billed and monetized, 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 organizations as well as founders and executives at the forefront of enterprise software. It expanded its team in 2023 and is now well-equipped to fulfil its vision of leveraging software so companies can be at their most effective.
