As a Billing & Analytics Engineer on the Console & Analytics team, you will own the systems that turn raw API usage into accurate invoices, revenue-grade analytics, and the self-service billing experience. This is the financial backbone of a high-growth AI company: every dollar of revenue flows through the code you build and maintain.

• Design, build, and maintain the pipeline that ingests, validates, and processes usage messages from Deepgram's inference and voice agent services, ensuring sub-second reliability, idempotency, and exactly-once semantics.
• Build the aggregation layer that rolls raw usage events into usage summaries by customer, product, time window, and pricing dimension, optimizing for query performance.
• Own integration with usage-based billing platforms (M3ter, Metronome, or equivalent), implementing rating, plan management, and invoice generation logic.
• Build and maintain integrations with Salesforce and RevOps tooling to synchronize customer accounts, contract terms, entitlements, and billing status.
• Develop customer-facing billing and usage views within the Deepgram Console, including real-time and historical usage dashboards, spend, billing history, and plan details.
• Own billing-adjacent authorization surfaces: API key and token management, usage-based access controls, entitlement enforcement, and the permission model.
• Build internal analytics pipelines and dashboards for usage trends, cohort behavior, conversion funnels, and revenue metrics for Product, Growth, and Finance teams.
• Implement automated reconciliation between usage events, aggregated summaries, billing records, and payment processor data, with alerting and self-healing mechanisms.

• 5+ years of experience building and operating billing, payments, metering, or financial data systems in a SaaS or usage-based pricing environment.
• Strong backend engineering skills, preferably in Rust, and in at least one of: Python, TypeScript/Node.js, Go, or similar.
• Deep experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and data pipeline design—schema modeling, query optimization, and high-volume event processing.
• Hands-on experience integrating with billing or subscription platforms (e.g., Stripe, M3ter, Metronome, Chargebee, Zuora) and CRM systems (Salesforce).
• Understanding of usage-based pricing models, metering patterns, and edge cases (proration, overages, commitments, credits, multi-currency).
• Experience building reconciliation and data integrity systems that ensure financial accuracy at scale.
• Strong communication skills to partner with Finance, RevOps, Product, and Growth teams.
• A security-conscious mindset, especially around authentication, token management, and access control.

• Experience with usage-based billing platforms (M3ter, Metronome) specifically, or building custom metering systems from scratch.
• Familiarity with product-led growth (PLG) patterns: self-serve signup, usage gating, upgrade flows, and conversion instrumentation.
• Experience with event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS, Pub/Sub) for high-throughput usage event processing.
• Background in revenue operations, revenue recognition (ASC 606), or SOX-relevant billing controls.
• Experience with analytics/BI tooling (Looker, Metabase, dbt) and building internal data products.
