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.
About the role:
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.
In this role you will:
-
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.
