## Description

We're looking for a Staff Software Developer who is excited about building reliable, scalable billing and commerce systems. 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. You are the person the team turns to when something is unclear or broken, The compensation range reflects the Company's good faith belief at the time of posting. 8x8 has different base pay ranges for different work locations within the United States, which allows us to pay employees competitively and consistently in different geographic markets. The range above reflects the potential base pay across the U.S. for this role; the applicable base pay range will depend on what ultimately is determined to be the candidate's primary work location. Further, individual base pay depends on various factors, in addition to primary work location, such as complexity and responsibility of role, job duties/requirements, and relevant experience, knowledge, success, education and skills. Base pay ranges are reviewed and typically updated each year. Offers are made within the base pay range applicable at the time. Certain roles are eligible for additional rewards, including discretionary merit increases, bonus and/or stock. Certain roles have the opportunity to earn
sales variable compensation incentives based on the terms of the plan and the employee's role.
