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, specifically with 2+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering
- Strong knowledge of best practices in modern software development such as deployments, CI/CD, data management, security, and distributed systems
- Experience working with AWS or other cloud environments utilizing containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes
- Based in the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate (with support from Orb)
What the job involves
- As an Infrastructure Engineer at Orb, you will be responsible for designing and maintaining product features that require deeply understanding reliable and scalable systems
- The infrastructure team works on every part of the stack and ships product quickly
- Notably, this is not an auxiliary or support team; at Orb, performant infrastructure is a core part of the offering
- Orb has a broad range of infrastructure challenges that you’ll tackle in concert with our team. Some examples of work you might do at Orb include:
- Building and scaling our data ingestion pipelines to support ever increasing data volumes. We ingest anywhere from 100 million to one billion events an hour and expect to see massive growth over the next year. These data pipelines need to be incredibly robust; the accuracy of every event counts
- Understanding how to scale query throughput against our specialized datastores in service of product features like real-time alerting while maintaining maximum flexibility in metrics customers can define. This allows our customers to implement usage limits and spend management through Orb
- Providing the most performant and flexible APIs to our customers and their end users, so they can build experiences that leverage usage data stored in Orb
- Building simple and reusable system-level components to serve as a foundation for other engineers. For example, designing and building a robust rate and cost limiting strategy across Orb’s API
- This is an opportunity to be the foundation of our infrastructure team, so you’ll lay the groundwork for both technical process and product investments
- Your early work on our infrastructure stack will be key for the next decade of scaling Orb’s product
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.
