San Francisco, United States Orb Full time
About Orb

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 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.

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.

In this role you will:
  • Tackle a broad range of infrastructure challenges with our team.
  • Build and scale 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.
  • Understand 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.
  • Provide 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.
  • Build 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.
About You:
  • 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)
Orb's Tech Stack

At Orb, we believe great engineers can learn any stack, so you do not need experience with these specific tools and we encourage you to apply regardless.
  • Frontend: Typescript + React + Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Python
  • Datastores: PostgreSQL + Apache Druid
  • Streaming Platforms: Kafka + Spark Streaming
  • Cloud Platform: AWS
Please note: We value in-person collaboration and have built a hybrid, in office culture with 3 days/week at our HQ in downtown San Francisco. We see it as a way to achieve our mission faster, in an environment of rapid ideation, strong alignment, and that energy that makes work more fun. Unless specifically noted in the job above, please plan to join us in person in San Francisco.

Benefits
  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance - 100% coverage for you and dependents
  • Unlimited PTO (with 15 days minimum encouraged) plus one week of time off during the last week of December
  • 401k plan
  • 16-week paid parental leave with equity vesting
  • Commuter stipend
  • Catered lunches in the office
  • Meaningful equity in the form of stock options and a unique ten-year exercise window


Equal Opportunity Employer

We work with each other day in and day out, and strongly believe that building a diverse and inclusive team is key to our long-term goals and success as a company. We provide equal employment opportunities to all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by law.
