Excellent spoken and written English.
Must be willing to perform hands-on coding.

Responsibilities

Design and own the end-to-end architecture of a scalable, multi-country, multi-currency billing platform, from capturing billable business events through rating, invoicing, and posting to the accounting system.
Define the billing data model, including clients, contracts, rate cards, billable events, charges, invoices, credit notes, and adjustments, with traceability from each invoice line to its source events.
Architect pipelines that extract billable business events from supply chain, fulfillment, delivery, and SaaS applications into the data platform, ensuring completeness and integrity.
Build a flexible rating and pricing engine supporting per-order and per-unit fees, storage, tiered and volume pricing, minimum commitments, subscriptions, and pass-through costs.
Ensure the billing platform meets accounting requirements for completeness and timeliness, including revenue recognition, accruals, month-end close, tax across Southeast Asian markets, and ERP integration.
Design reconciliation and controls, including automated checks between operational events, billed charges, and financial records; audit trails; and processes for disputes, adjustments, and rebilling.
Write production code for critical and complex components, build prototypes and proofs of concept, and own the quality of the team's code through design reviews, code reviews, and quality checks of pipelines, SQL, Python, and data models.
Establish and enforce engineering practices for version control and branching, CI/CD, automated unit, integration, and data-quality testing, infrastructure-as-code, documentation, and observability.
Define data-quality standards and monitoring for billing data, and lead incident response and root-cause analysis for billing issues.
Make and document architecture decisions balancing scalability, performance, cost, and maintainability on the AWS-based data platform using Amazon Redshift and PostgreSQL.
Work with the revenue operations team to define event contracts and schemas so upstream changes do not break billing.
Ensure settlements from all sources are ingested, monitored, and maintained reliably.
Translate client contracts and commercial requirements from Finance and commercial teams into technical specifications, and advise on the feasibility and billing impact of new pricing models.
Plan and prioritize the billing roadmap with the Billing Product Manager, break down work, estimate effort, and deliver predictably.
Lead, coach, and develop the billing engineering team, including hiring, setting goals, and providing regular feedback.
Protect financial and client data through appropriate access controls and support internal and external audits.
Identify and mitigate risks, escalating them when needed.
