📌 ABOUT THE ROLE
We're hiring a Senior Engineer to own and evolve Scribe's billing platform, the system at the center of how Scribe makes money across 5M+ users and 600K+ organizations. You'll design and operate the infrastructure behind subscriptions, enterprise invoicing, pricing changes, and the subscription lifecycle, with real architectural headroom and a clear path toward entitlements and monetization systems as the role expands.
🛠️ WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own and evolve Scribe's billing and subscription systems
- Design resilient, event-driven systems that stay correct under retries, partial outages, and race conditions
- Build and maintain reconciliation processes that Finance and leadership rely on
- Improve subscription lifecycle reliability, including renewals, plan changes, invoicing, and payment recovery
- Enable safe pricing and packaging changes without compromising financial integrity
- Shape the long-term architecture of the revenue platform as complexity scales
- Improve system boundaries between billing, entitlements, and reporting to reduce coupling
🔍 WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- You have 6+ years of software engineering experience
- You've built or maintained billing, payments, or other high-integrity financial systems in production
- You think in terms of guarantees: consistency, idempotency, reconciliation, durability
- You're comfortable scoping ambiguous problems and driving them end to end
- You're a strong backend engineer, ideally in Python and Django
- You make sound architectural tradeoffs and are comfortable owning long-term system evolution
✨ NICE TO HAVE
- Experience supporting pricing or packaging changes in production systems
- Familiarity with enterprise invoicing workflows and sales-assisted purchasing
- Experience with SaaS tax compliance tools such as Anrok or Avalara
- Experience partnering closely with Finance or Revenue Operations on reconciliation and reporting
