Billing is mission-critical to Render’s success. As a Software Engineer, Billing you’ll design, implement, and maintain systems that ensure customers are billed accurately, reliably, and transparently as we scale. You will collaborate with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience teams to integrate third-party platforms, evolve our usage-based billing systems, and deliver the infrastructure that supports Render’s growing business model.

This role requires technical depth, precision, and strong cross-functional collaboration. You’ll be the engineer others depend on to make sure usage data flows seamlessly, customers are charged correctly, and our systems are robust against complexity at scale.

- Collaborate closely with Finance, Product, and Support Engineering teams to ensure accurate, reliable billing and reporting.

- Work with large-scale databases and data pipelines to capture, transform, and reconcile usage data.

- Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve billing reliability and performance.

- Contribute to architectural decisions about how billing integrates with the broader Render platform.

- Help shape internal processes, documentation, and best practices for billing operations.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

- 3+ years of professional experience building or operating usage-based billing systems.

- Hands-on experience integrating and working with third-party billing systems such as Orb, Metronome, Stripe, or similar platforms.

- Strong expertise in Go and production-grade databases (SQL or NoSQL).

- Ability to work effectively across functions with Finance, Customer Experience, and Product teams.

- Detail-oriented mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability in mission-critical systems.

- Pragmatism and problem-solving skills to balance accuracy, scalability, and developer experience.

NICE-TO-HAVES:

- Experience working in a high-growth startup or scaling environment.

- Familiarity with financial reconciliation and reporting processes.

- Background in distributed systems or event-driven architectures.

- Willingness to mentor others and help scale Render’s engineering culture.
