Proven ability to influence engineers, designers, finance partners, executives, and customers without relying on authority.
Experience taking products from ambiguous problem statements through launch, measurement, and iteration.
Comfort with distributed systems concepts relevant to billing correctness, such as event pipelines, idempotency, and reconciliation.
Ability to work effectively with finance stakeholders on revenue recognition, invoicing, and audit requirements while maintaining a customer perspective.
Skill in writing product documents that clearly articulate the problem, evidence, and proposed solution.
Capability to define iterative plans for organizational progress towards desired outcomes.

Develop billing solutions that cater to both self-serve, per-minute on-demand customers and sales-led committed contracts on 1-Click Clusters.
Define and enforce billing accuracy as a product requirement, driving reconciliation and audit mechanisms with finance and platform engineering.
Own the lifecycle of credits, including granting, consumption, and expiration, as well as invoice generation, delivery, and dispute resolution.
Partner with finance and go-to-market teams to enable quick and accurate launching of new instance types, contract structures, and pricing updates.
Define usage and billing surfaces within Lambda's public API to allow customers programmatic access to spend data.
