You'll join a tight-knit team of engineers and work directly with your engineering manager, other staff developers, tech leads, and cross-functional partners across Salesforce, finance, and channel ops. This is a full-stack backend-leaning role. You'll work on real problems like customer hierarchy modeling, subscription lifecycle management, consumption based billing, tax integrations, payment integrations, billing event processing and you'll have meaningful ownership from day one. Our platform makes extensive use of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud and the stack is primarily written using Java. The technology stack is entirely owned by 8x8 which means engineers have exposure to many facets of architecture. Responsibilities * The position may be remote, you must be comfortable working autonomously and driving work forward in a distributed, fast-paced engineering organization * Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, operations, infrastructure) to design and deliver reliable billing platform experiences * Architect and develop scalable backend services and APIs across the billing ecosystem including subscription lifecycle management, usage aggregation, and payment processing * Lead complex technical efforts end-to-end from requirements decomposition through design, implementation, and production rollout with minimal oversight * Provide technical guidance and architectural direction to engineers across the team; establish and uphold engineering standards for code quality, testing, and observability * Own the reliability, scalability, and performance of critical billing components; proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks, regressions, and integration failures * Drive technical design decisions for new platform capabilities such as usage-based billing models, and billing reconciliation pipelines * Establish deep end-to-end ownership of one or more core billing domains.
