About The Position

Render is hiring a senior technical leader to lead its Billing engineering team and ensure customers are billed accurately, reliably, and transparently as the company grows. The role sets the multi-quarter strategy and technical direction for usage-based billing systems, including usage capture, data pipelines, third-party billing platforms, and invoicing. The manager owns the billing roadmap from usage metering through reconciliation and financial reporting, and partners with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience leadership to turn pricing, reporting, and customer needs into deliverable plans. The role also develops the team and its leaders, supports planned hiring and growth, and makes architectural decisions that balance long-term investment with near-term pricing launches and fixes. The position calls for a people-focused leader who remains hands-on when useful, including reviewing code, prototyping, and contributing directly.
