📌 About the Role

We're hiring a Staff Engineer to define and own the technical foundation of how Scribe monetizes: pricing infrastructure, entitlements, provisioning, customer and org hierarchy, packaging, and the revenue operations systems that tie it all together. You'll set technical direction for infrastructure serving 5M+ users and 600K+ organizations, anchor the billing engineering team, and co-own monetization strategy from an engineering standpoint as Scribe's pricing model evolves from seat-based subscriptions toward hybrid contracts.

🛠️ What You'll Do

• Own the technical vision and long-term architecture of Scribe's monetization platform: billing, pricing infrastructure, entitlements, provisioning, packaging, and customer/org hierarchy

• Set the technical standard for the billing engineering team, defining norms and leading high-stakes design decisions

• Drive the design of systems that let Scribe launch new pricing models, tiers, and products without re-architecting from scratch

• Own the entitlements and access control layer, the boundary between billing state and product access

• Define and maintain the infrastructure Finance and Revenue Operations rely on: reconciliation pipelines, audit trails, reporting, and close processes

• Shape the technical direction for how self-serve subscriptions, enterprise invoicing, and sales-assisted purchasing coexist at scale

• Partner with Finance, Revenue Operations, Sales, and Product leadership to translate business requirements into durable system design

🔍 What We're Looking For

• You have 10+ years of software engineering experience, with deep time in monetization, billing, or revenue-critical systems

• You've owned the technical strategy for a monetization platform, not just executed on one someone else designed

• You've worked on systems where "incorrect" has a dollar sign attached: revenue pipelines, financial reporting, or billing infrastructure in production

• You can reason across the full monetization stack: pricing models, subscription lifecycle, entitlements, provisioning, and financial reporting

• You design for evolution, building architecture that absorbs pricing and product changes without a rewrite

• You hold strong opinions on correctness, idempotency, and durability, and have navigated real tradeoffs between those properties and latency or product flexibility

✨ Nice to have

• Experience designing entitlements or access control systems at scale

• Experience with SaaS financial close processes, revenue recognition, or enterprise invoicing

• Experience with multi-product or multi-tier pricing architecture

• Exposure to revenue operations tooling (Salesforce CPQ, Rillet, or similar)

• Prior experience as a technical anchor in a high-growth SaaS environment

📍 Location

Hybrid. Based in San Francisco. We work from the office 3 days per week.

💰 Compensation

Salary varies by location. All full-time employees receive equity in Scribe. Final offers depend on experience and scope.

🎁 Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents

• Flexible paid time off and company holidays

• 401(k)

• Paid parental leave

• Daily catered lunch (SF office)

• Commuter benefits

• Home office stipend
