Software Engineer, Full Stack

Orb is on a mission to revolutionize billing infrastructure for the modern era of AI and software. We empower businesses to align their monetization with product usage—whether through seats, consumption, feature limits, or hybrid pricing models. Our developer-first, data-driven approach enables companies to automate their billing processes and adapt their pricing strategies with ease.

With Orb, revenue workflows are seamless for every team: developers love our intuitive API and extensibility, product managers iterate on pricing and packaging faster, finance teams gain fine-grained reporting for revenue recognition, and customer-facing teams build trust through billing transparency. Companies like Vercel, Pinecone, and Replit rely on Orb to power their most critical revenue initiatives.

Backed by $44.1 million in funding from top investors like Mayfield, Menlo Ventures, and Greylock, we’re building a hybrid, in-office culture in downtown San Francisco (3 days/week). Our team thrives on collaboration, focus, and kindness, with a shared commitment to solving high-impact problems for our customers. At Orb, every team member drives meaningful impact, and we’re just getting started.

About the role:

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.

In this role you will:

• Tackle a broad range of technical challenges with our team like:
• Our product data model should be simple to understand and powerful enough to support the sophisticated needs of an array of businesses
• Our system needs to maintain the scaling characteristics to support real-time ingestion and query, which come with the design challenges of performance, consistency, and load isolation.
• Orb’s product approach centers around extensibility, where developers can build on top what comes out-of-the-box
• You’ll also lay the groundwork for engineering and product processes, ensuring that our team can continue to build quickly and serve our customers for years to come.

About you:

• You have 3+ 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)

You might be a good fit if you:

• Have worked on developer-facing products or an internal platform team
• Have experience working on large-scale data infrastructure problems or distributed systems
• Enjoy understanding the nitty gritty of technical domains deeply
