Software Engineering Manager, Billing

Render is hiring a Senior Engineering Manager to lead its Billing engineering team and own the strategy, technical direction, and execution of usage-based billing systems. The role focuses on accurate and reliable billing, team growth, and partnering with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience on pricing, reporting, and customer needs.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and grow the Billing engineering team, which owns how Render turns platform usage into accurate charges: usage capture, data pipelines, third-party billing platforms (Orb, Metronome, Stripe, or similar), and invoicing
• Own the roadmap for Render’s billing systems, from usage metering through invoicing, reconciliation, and financial reporting
• Drive billing correctness and reliability: build the monitoring, reconciliation, and testing that catch errors before customers do
• Partner with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience to align the roadmap with pricing, reporting, and customer needs
• Hire and develop engineers to support planned team growth, while keeping the team’s focus clear as billing scope expands
• Make key architectural decisions, balancing long-term billing platform investment against near-term pricing launches and fixes
• Build a strong performance management and career development practice for a team that includes senior ICs

Requirements:

• Strong people leadership
• Hands-on enough to review code, prototype, and contribute directly when it helps the team
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, with adaptability and a growth mindset
• Proven experience building and scaling teams, ideally growing a group from a handful of engineers into a larger org
• Experience managing engineers; including senior and staff engineers; hiring, and performance management
• Hands-on experience with usage-based billing, payments, or other revenue-critical systems, including third-party platforms like Orb, Metronome, or Stripe
• Ability to partner closely with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience without needing to fill those functions yourself
• Strong business instincts, with the ability to connect engineering investment to billing accuracy, revenue, and customer trust
• Background from either a startup or a larger company is fine
• What matters is experience and ability to operate in a fast-paced environment
• Experience leading a billing platform migration or a pricing model change
• Familiarity with financial reconciliation and reporting processes
• Background in distributed systems or event-driven architectures
• Experience building for developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, or DevTools
