• Set the technical standard for the billing engineering team define engineering norms, lead high-stakes design decisions, and raise the level of junior engineers through review and mentorship
• Drive the design of systems that allow Scribe to launch new pricing models, tiers, and products without re-architecting from scratch
• Own the entitlements and access control layer — the boundary between billing state and product access
• Define and maintain the infrastructure Finance and Revenue Operations rely on: reconciliation pipelines, audit trails, reporting, and close processes
• Partner with Growth leads to keep monetization and growth systems coherent as they scale
• Collaborate with the Controller, Revenue Operations, Sales, and Product leadership to translate business requirements into durable system design

You Could Be a Great Fit If

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with deep time in monetization, billing, or revenue-critical systems
• Owned the technical strategy for a monetization platform not just executed on one someone else designed
• Worked on systems where "incorrect" has a dollar sign attached revenue pipelines, financial reporting, or billing infrastructure in production
• Can reason across the full monetization stack: pricing models, subscription lifecycle, entitlements, provisioning, and financial reporting
• Design for evolution pricing will change, products will expand, and your architecture can absorb that without a rewrite
• As effective in a room with Finance and Revenue Operations as you are in a code review
• Hold strong opinions on correctness, idempotency, and durability and have navigated real tradeoffs between those properties and latency or product flexibility under business pressure
• Lead through taste and rigor, where engineers around you get better as a natural consequence of working with you
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals, Python and Django experience is a plus

Bonus
