Software Engineer, Infrastructure - San Francisco HQ
About Orb:
Orb is transforming how modern AI and software companies monetize at scale. We've built the next-generation billing infrastructure that turns complex usage-based pricing into competitive advantage. Our developer-first approach powers companies like Vercel, Pinecone, and Replit, delivering real-time billing automation, lightning-fast pricing experiments, and granular revenue analytics.
Backed by $44.1M in funding from top investors like Mayfield, Menlo Ventures, and Greylock, we're a high-velocity team shipping infrastructure that's defining the future of monetization.
We've built a hybrid work culture where we are in office 3 days/week. Our values, customer centricity, minutes matter, run with it, and attention to detail shape how we work and grow as a team.

About you:
