Job Summary: The Software Engineer, Monetization Platform serves as an engineer on the Product Platform Group with a primary focus on the systems that turn product usage, subscriptions, credits, commitments, and contracts into accurate customer outcomes and clean financial operations. This person will help architect and evolve the core billing domain for Drata: usage event ingestion, billable metrics, pricing and packaging, invoice generation, entitlement enforcement, and the integrations that connect engineering to Accounting, Finance, RevOps, Salesforce, CPQ, and ERP systems like NetSuite. They should be equally comfortable designing event-driven systems, shaping commercial flexibility with business stakeholders, and building operationally trustworthy software where correctness, auditability, and scale matter. Modern billing is no longer just “charge a credit card once a month” — it is a real-time product control plane that must support evolving pricing models without turning the codebase into a fragile mess. What you’ll do: Partner with Product, Finance, Accounting, RevOps, and Engineering leadership to shape Drata’s long-term billing architecture and commercial flexibility across self-serve and enterprise motions. Help design the primitives of a modern billing platform: usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, subscriptions, overages, and invoice workflows. Build on a system that can accurately meter product usage at scale, transform raw events into billable quantities, and support pricing changes without requiring constant product rework. Build and evolve the entitlement layer that separates pricing and packaging from product behavior, so feature access, limits, credits, and plan controls are programmable rather than hardcoded. Work closely with SFDC admins, CPQ owners, and Finance systems stakeholders to ensure quote-to-cash flows are coherent across CRM, product, billing, ERP, and downstream reporting systems. Ensure billing systems are operationally trustworthy: idempotent event handling, strong reconciliation paths, reliable notifications, auditability, and clear observability for engineers and business teams. Troubleshoot the hard problems: invoice discrepancies, usage drift, contract edge cases, entitlement bugs, migration failures, and cross-system data mismatches. What you’ll bring: 3+ years of experience as a software engineer, including meaningful time owning business-critical backend systems in production. Experience architecting billing, payments, pricing, or quote-to-cash systems for a B2B SaaS company at meaningful scale. Experience designing APIs and event-driven systems that ingest, validate, aggregate, and reconcile high-volume operational data. Understanding of modern billing models, including usage-based pricing, subscriptions, prepaid credits, commitments, overages, hybrid packaging, and enterprise-specific commercial terms. Experience working directly with Accounting, Finance, RevOps, and GTM systems where data quality, auditability, and timing matter. Experience integrating with systems like Salesforce, CPQ, NetSuite, payment platforms, and downstream finance/reporting tooling. Strong proficiency with: JavaScript/TypeScript and object-oriented programming Building and consuming RESTful web services Relational databases, data modeling, and transactional workflows Distributed systems and asynchronous processing Writing unit, integration, and end-to-end tests Logging, telemetry, and production debugging Git and modern CI/CD practices At least one major cloud platform and modern infrastructure tooling A strong product and systems mindset: you can model the commercial domain cleanly, but you also know billing architecture is ultimately customer experience architecture. Bonus Qualifications Usage-based billing platforms such as Metronome, especially concepts like usage events, billable metrics, products, rate cards, contracts, credits, and programmable invoice workflows. Entitlement and monetization platforms such as Stigg, especially entitlements as a system of record for feature access, limits, credits, and packaging logic. Building systems that support both PLG/self-serve and enterprise sales motions on the same technical foundation. Audit logs, RBAC, webhooks, durable queues, and other patterns that make billing and monetization systems reliable and debuggable in production.
