VP of Engineering- San Francisco HQ

About Orb:
We’re a team that cares deeply about the work the people we do it with and the customers we do it for. Everyone at Orb has real ownership over their work direct access to customers and a voice in how the company grows. We’re building the revenue design platform that helps teams automate billing evolve pricing and grow revenue with confidence.

Looking ahead joining forces with Adyen expands what we can build and raises the ceiling on the problems we get to solve for customers. The challenges are uniquely interesting and you’ll be surrounded by thoughtful ambitious people who move fast and hold a high bar.

For San Francisco Bay Area New York and Amsterdam residents we've built a hybrid work culture where we are in office 3 days/week. For remote roles we ask you to join us in person 1x per quarter. Our values customer centricity minutes matter run with it attention to detail and go further together are at the core of everything we do.

This is a rare moment to lead engineering at Orb. As part of Adyen we're taking Orb toward a massive revenue line with Adyen's global sales org behind our distribution. You get the ambition and reach of a platform business plus the scrappiness ownership and speed of an early-stage team.

You'll lead a ~30 person engineering team building infrastructure where correctness and scale aren't nice-to-haves. They're the product. Billing is unforgiving: every number has to be right in real time at volume. We're looking for a leader who's energized by the monetization and billing domain. Someone who wants to build the technical and process foundations for the next phase of growth and who's ready to roll up their sleeves to do it.

• Coach and grow our engineering managers and senior ICs via hands-on mentorship clear growth paths and real career development for the people building Orb.

• Build our engineering leadership bench and own talent and retention strategy as the team grows and expands to multiple offices.

• Set and clearly articulate technical strategy by holding your own in deep technical conversations and raising the bar on how we design systems for correctness and scale.

• Partner cross-functionally with GTM and our VP of Product to shape product competitive and monetization strategy.

• Establish the technical and process foundations for Orb's next stage of growth: lightweight high-leverage and built to scale without slowing the team down.

• 10+ years in engineering with several years leading engineering organizations ideally at infrastructure platform or developer-tools companies.

• Infra- or platform-heavy technical background with real depth in distributed systems data and designing for correctness and scale.

• You've scaled teams and systems through meaningful growth and you're excited to re-calibrate into scrappy early-stage mode rather than run a heavy process.

• Genuinely leaned into billing and monetization. Usage-based pricing and revenue infrastructure is a domain you find interesting and want to go deep on — this is central to the role.

• A proven people leader who has coached managers developed senior ICs and built durable leadership benches ideally across multiple offices.

• A strong cross-functional partner who works naturally with product and go-to-market to turn technical strategy into business results.

• Bias toward lightweight high-leverage processes; you’ll build foundations that scale without bureaucracy.

What We Do

Orb is the Revenue Design platform that helps SaaS and GenAI companies design price and execute monetization; from contracts and usage to billing invoicing and reporting. It is built for Revenue Architects the product finance engineering and sales leaders who shape how revenue is created. Legacy billing systems are rigid and slow often forcing companies into workarounds. Orb adapts to any model from self-serve usage to complex enterprise contracts so teams can move faster and scale without friction. Companies like Replit Glean and Redis rely on Orb to bill millions of users automate enterprise contracts and keep finance audit-ready. Backed by Mayfield Menlo Ventures and Greylock Orb is building the platform that turns monetization from a bottleneck into a growth driver.
