Companies moving beyond simple subscriptions are running into fragile billing infrastructure. Pricing experiments, metering, enterprise contracts, taxes, credits, wallets, renewals, access control, and invoicing all need to stay consistent across product, finance, sales, and customer-facing surfaces. The job signals show this is no longer just payment processing; it is a cross-functional revenue systems problem that many growing companies are hiring senior people to solve.
Start as a specialized implementation and audit service for companies adopting or expanding usage-based billing. The first engagement maps pricing rules, metering events, entitlement logic, invoice flows, tax handling, renewal behavior, and finance reconciliation, then ships a working billing architecture using the buyer's existing stack. Over time, repeatable templates, test suites, event schemas, and reconciliation checks can become a productized toolkit or managed revenue platform service.
AI, developer tools, infrastructure platforms, mobility, and vertical SaaS? are increasingly shifting to credits, usage, commits, hybrid subscriptions, and enterprise invoicing. These models create operational complexity faster than generic billing tools can absorb.

We have a billing system. Your job is to take it over end to end and redesign it. Engineering, finance, and customers all depend on the system and the data it produces, and you'll work across all three. When a customer asks why their invoice looks the way it does, you're the person who can answer. Owning the services behind billing end-to-end — usage metering, charge calculation, invoicing, payments, and the data models underneath them
Enhance the usage-to-billing pipeline: ingesting raw usage events, aggregating them, turning datapoints into dynamic pricing. Work across the full stack — front-end configuration surfaces like an in-app workflow builder, as well as backend and event ingest infrastructure.
