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.

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.

In this role you will:
Lead infrastructure resiliency efforts - recovery mechanisms, tenant isolation, load spike handling, etc
Improve observability and operability of our systems
Build performance-critical, user-facing infrastructure (eg. real-time event processing)
Plan scaling initiatives to handle large customer growth

You have 3+ years of experience in software engineering, and you’ve worked in in the infrastructure domain for 2+ years
