This person will help architect and evolve the core billing domain for Drata: usage event ingestion, billable metrics, pricing and packaging, invoice generation, entitlement enforcement, and the integrations that connect engineering to Accounting, Finance, RevOps, Salesforce, CPQ, and ERP systems like NetSuite. They should be equally comfortable designing event-driven systems, shaping commercial flexibility with business stakeholders, and building operationally trustworthy software where correctness, auditability, and scale matter. Modern billing is no longer just "charge a credit card once a month" - it is a real-time product control plane that must support evolving pricing models without turning the codebase into a fragile mess. What you'll do: * Partner with Product, Finance, Accounting, RevOps, and Engineering leadership to shape Drata's long-term billing architecture and commercial flexibility across self-serve and enterprise motions. * Help design the primitives of a modern billing platform: usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, subscriptions, overages, and invoice workflows. * Build on a system that can accurately meter product usage at scale, transform raw events into billable quantities, and support pricing changes without requiring constant product rework. * Build and evolve the entitlement layer that separates pricing and packaging from product behavior, so feature access, limits, credits, and plan controls are programmable rather than hardcoded. * Work closely with SFDC admins, CPQ owners, and Finance systems stakeholders to ensure quote-to-cash flows are coherent across CRM, product, billing, ERP, and downstream reporting systems. * Ensure billing systems are operationally trustworthy: idempotent event handling, strong reconciliation paths, reliable notifications, auditability, and clear observability for engineers and business teams. * Troubleshoot the hard problems: invoice discrepancies, usage drift, contract edge cases, entitlement bugs, migration failures, and cross-system data mismatches. ## Related Videos - [Throwing off the burdens of scale in engineering](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/608-throwing-off-the-burdens-of-scale-in-engineering) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) - [Navigating Growth, Scaling Challenges, and Office Expansions with David Singleton, CTO at Stripe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100362-navigating-growth-scaling-challenges-and-office-expansions-with-david-singleton-cto-at-stripe) - [Nest.js - TypeScript in the backend can also be clean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1033-nest-js-typescript-in-the-backend-can-also-be-clean) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies in Europe](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/162-highest-paying-tech-companies-in-europe) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Dev Digest 139 - Soft and hard queries](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/487-dev-digest-139-soft-and-hard-queries) - [The Best X (Twitter) Accounts for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/294-the-best-x-twitter-accounts-for-developers)
