Software Engineer, Platform, Tinker

What You’ll Do

• Design the authorization layer across all products: RBAC, API key scoping, organization hierarchies, and permission boundaries.
• Own billing infrastructure end to end, including usage metering and aggregation, plan management, payment processing, invoicing, and revenue recognition support.
• Build and evolve the organizations and teams model: seat management, SSO/SAML, workspace isolation, and invite flows.
• Implement data export and deletion pipelines that meet enterprise compliance and data residency requirements.
• Build audit logging so customers and internal teams have clear visibility into who did what, when.

Skills and Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in computer science, engineering, or similar.
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (we use Python or Rust).

• Thrive in a highly collaborative environment involving many, different cross-functional partners and subject matter experts.
• A bias for action with a mindset to take initiative to work across different stacks and different teams where you spot the opportunity to make sure something ships.

Preferred qualifications:

• 4+ years building backend systems in production.
• Experience building billing or metering systems at scale (Metronome pipelines, usage-based pricing, invoicing pipelines).
• Familiarity with enterprise-readiness patterns: SSO/SCIM provisioning, audit trails, data residency, custom contracts, role hierarchies.
• Strong opinions on building correct financial systems — idempotency, exactly-once semantics, reconciliation.
• Experience with event-driven architectures or stream processing for usage metering.
• Background in security engineering or a strong security mindset (least-privilege design, secure defaults, threat modeling).
• Prior work at an AI/ML company, developer tools company, or API-first platform.
