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.* Design the primitives of a modern billing platform: usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, subscriptions, overages, and invoice workflows.* Architect 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.* Review architecture and code for billing-related projects to ensure correctness, scale, security, and maintainability while empowering teams to own implementation details.* Troubleshoot the hard problems: invoice discrepancies, usage drift, contract edge cases, entitlement bugs, migration failures, and cross-system data mismatches.* Lead cross-team initiatives such as introducing a usage-based billing foundation, rationalizing packaging models, improving billing developer experience, or migrating from brittle homegrown logic to more composable billing and entitlement systems.* Mentor engineers across teams on domain modeling, distributed systems tradeoffs, financial correctness, and the realities of building software where product behavior and revenue recognition are tightly coupled.**What you’ll bring:*** 10+ years of experience as a software engineer, including meaningful time owning business-critical backend systems in production.* Deep experience architecting billing, payments, pricing, or quote-to-cash systems for a B2B SaaS company at meaningful scale.* Strong experience designing APIs and event-driven systems that ingest, validate, aggregate, and reconcile high-volume operational data.* Strong understanding of modern billing models, including usage-based pricing, subscriptions, prepaid credits, commitments, overages, hybrid packaging, and enterprise-specific commercial terms.* Experience working directly with Accounting, Finance, RevOps, and GTM systems where data quality, auditability, and timing matter.* Strong experience integrating with systems like Salesforce, CPQ, NetSuite, payment platforms, and downstream finance/reporting tooling.* Strong proficiency with: + JavaScript/TypeScript and object-oriented programming + Building and consuming RESTful web services + Relational databases, data modeling, and transactional workflows + Distributed systems and asynchronous processing + Writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests + Logging, telemetry, and production debugging + Git and modern CI/CD practices + At least one major cloud platform and modern infrastructure tooling* A strong product and systems mindset: you can model the commercial domain cleanly, but you also know billing architecture is ultimately customer experience architecture.**Bonus Qualifications*** Usage-based billing platforms such as Metronome, especially concepts like usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, and programmable invoice workflows.* Entitlement and monetization platforms such as Stigg, especially entitlements as a system of record for feature access, limits, credits, and packaging logic.* Building systems that support both PLG/self-serve and enterprise sales motions on the same technical foundation.* Audit logs, RBAC, webhooks, durable queues, and other patterns that make billing and monetization systems reliable and debuggable in production.* AI-assisted development tools**You’ve had success in roles where you:*** Architected or modernized a billing system that had to support real usage metering, invoice correctness, and flexible commercial models rather than a single static subscription plan.* Built systems where raw product activity was transformed into durable billing inputs and surfaced in customer-facing or internal financial workflows.* Worked through pricing and packaging changes without repeatedly hardcoding logic into application code.* Supported models like prepaid credits, subscriptions with overage, enterprise commitments, or hybrid contracts for different customer segments.* Partnered directly with Finance, Accounting, and RevOps to close gaps between what the product did, what the customer bought, and what the company invoiced.* Led engineers through ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives where the right answer required balancing correctness, flexibility, speed, and operational simplicity.* Communicated complex architectural decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.* Balanced individual contributor depth with mentoring and unblocking other engineers.**How we support you:**At Drata, our people are our strongest advantage—and we prove it with support that exceeds industry standards. Our total rewards package is designed to power your well-being, accelerate your growth, and keep your work-life balance thriving.Explore how we invest in your Life at Drata.* **Shared Success**: We provide stock equity to ensure that as the company grows, you share directly in that success. Equity gives every employee a sense of ownership and the opportunity to celebrate our wins together—because your contributions don’t just support our progress; they help drive our collective success.* **Health & Wellness:** Up to **100% employer-paid premiums** for medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees *and their dependents*, along with comprehensive wellness benefits and healthcare concierge services designed to support your needs beyond traditional insurance.* **Financial Well-being:** A comprehensive suite of financial benefits, including a **401(k) plan**, company-paid **life and disability insurance**, **tax-advantaged spending accounts**, and a range of **discounted voluntary offerings** to help you customize and strengthen your overall financial position.* **Family Support:** We want to support you in life's most important moments, so we offer a paid Parental Leave policy, after six months of employment. Employees also receive access to **Kindbody fertility and family-building benefits** and dedicated leave specialists who help guide you through the entire process.* **Growth & Development:** Generous annual stipends for both professional and personal development, empowering you to invest in your continued growth. You’ll also have access to a wide range of internal learning opportunities, ensuring you can build new skills, deepen your expertise, and advance your career with confidence.* **Time Off & Flexibility:** We believe that to do your best work, you should get the time you need for rest, rejuvenation and recovery. Drata offers a flexible vacation policy, paid holidays, and other perks to recharge.*This role will receive a competitive base salary, benefits, and stock, typically in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The applicable salary range for this role is: $200,000 - $271,500.**A variety of factors are considered when determining someone’s leveling and compensation–including a candidate’s professional background and experience. These ranges may be modified in the future and final offer amounts may vary from the amounts listed above.*
