Technical Support Engineer

Mission

Orb is on an ambitious mission to provide every business with the infrastructure to unlock their revenue. Best-in class businesses find ways to effectively align their monetization to product usage—whether that’s through seats, consumption, feature limits, or usage-based tiers. Orb brings that opportunity to every software company.

We are reimagining billing and invoicing for this era of hybrid pricing in software. Billing is no longer just a finance problem, but also a high-stakes engineering observability problem that customers urgently need solved. At Orb, we take a developer-first, data infrastructure approach to this problem. We make it possible for companies to fully automate their current billing process, and to evolve their monetization strategy over time.

Orb supports the end-to-end workflow for revenue: developers love our product’s extensibility and intuitive API, product managers become empowered to iterate on pricing and packaging much faster, finance teams get fine-grained reporting to facilitate revenue recognition, and customer-facing teams benefit from the transparency Orb brings to the customer relationship.

About Orb

Orb is the modern billing infrastructure powering revenue workflows for the next wave of AI and software companies. We believe that pricing and billing shouldn’t be a blocker to building and shipping great products. We power billing for highly innovative companies like Vercel, Pinecone, Perplexity, Replit, and work with our customers on some of their most crucial revenue initiatives.

Orb has raised $44.1 million in funding from top-tier investors like Mayfield, Menlo Ventures, Greylock, and founders and operators from companies like Plaid, Datadog, Notion, Asana, HubSpot, and more.
