Full Job Description
What you'll do

Hands-on billing engineering
  • Design, build, and operate systems across the billing lifecycle: charge calculation, invoice generation, account management, network mediation, usage charging, and payment processing
  • Decompose and mordernize application components into maintainable, internally-owned services - reducing technical debt and improving system reliability
  • Ensure accuracy, auditability, and reconciliation across billing workflows; own the quality bar for your subsystems
  • Debug and resolve complex cross-system issues in production; lead root cause analysis and implement durable fixes
  • Operate with ownership: stay close to the code, monitor system health, and respond to production issues
  • Prototype new ideas and solutions, review and improve design and code across the teams


AI-augmented engineering

  • Use AI development tools daily as part of your coding workflow - code generation, test coverage, code comprehension, documentation
  • Experiment with AI-assisted approaches to billing problems (e.g., using LLMs to understand code, accelerating test writing)
  • Share learnings with your team about what works and what doesn't; help teammates adopt tools that genuinely improve their delivery


Coaching & mentoring
  • Mentor junior or mid-level engineers on the team; grow their billing domain expertise and engineering judgment
  • Run code reviews as learning opportunities - provide constructive feedback, explain the "why" behind standards, and help engineers understand trade-offs
  • Pair program on complex problems; transfer knowledge directly through hands-on work
  • Lead occasional design discussions or post-incident reviews where the team learns together
  • Build internal documentation (wikis, playbooks, runbooks) to reduce reliance on vendor expertise and make billing knowledge accessible to the team


Charging & Mediation integration
  • Own integration quality between upstream charging and mediation systems that feed the billing pipeline
  • Debug cross-system issues; ensure data flows accurately from charging through to billing
  • Provide input on system design decisions that affect downstream billing workflows


What you bring

  • 7+ years hands-on engineering with production ownership of complex, high-volume systems
  • Demonstrated comfort working in environments; you reduce ambiguity rather than avoid it
  • Strong foundation in distributed systems: eventual consistency, event-driven architecture, high-availability design
  • Experience with billing, financial, or revenue systems is a strong asset
  • Cloud-native fluency on GCP (Kubernetes, Pub/Sub, Dataflow, BigQuery, Cloud SQL) and IaC/DevOps practices
  • You genuinely enjoy helping other engineers grow - through code reviews, pairing, design discussions, or documentation
  • Ability to explain complex concepts clearly and help engineers develop both technical depth and ownership mindset
  • Experience mentoring junior or mid-level engineers (doesn't need to be formal; could be peer mentoring, tech lead experience, or guild leadership)
  • Hands-on engineer who stays close to the code and the systems you own - not delegating away the interesting problems
  • Operates with ownership and transparency - surfaces problems early, shares context freely, builds trust through consistent delivery
  • Comfortable learning new domains quickly; billing may be new to you, but you pick up complex systems rapidly
  • Open to experimenting with AI development tools; comfortable integrating them into your workflow without needing to be an expert first


Great-to-haves

  • Direct experience with various vendor billing platforms
  • Background in telecom, utilities, or regulated billing environments
  • Experience mentoring engineers at a company or within a technical guild/community
  • GCP Professional certifications (Cloud Architect, Data Engineer)
