Senior Engineering Manager (Billing)

Render

Join Render, a fast-growing cloud platform, as a Software Engineering Manager for the Billing team. In this mission-critical role, you will lead the organization responsible for accurate, reliable, and transparent billing as Render scales. You will set the multi-quarter strategy, own the technical direction, and partner with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience leadership. This is an opportunity for a seasoned technical leader to build the organization, the leaders, and the systems that keep billing accurate as usage, pricing, and the customer base grow.

Lead and grow the Billing engineering team, which owns how Render turns platform usage into accurate charges.

If this role excites you but you don’t meet every single requirement, we’d still love to hear from you—your unique experience might be just what we need

About Render

Through reasoned discussions and continuous feedback, we strive to improve both individually and collectively. We foster an environment of mutual trust and respect, empowering effective debate to achieve the best outcomes for our customers and team

Responsibilities

  • Own the roadmap for Render’s billing systems, from usage metering through invoicing, reconciliation, and financial reporting.
  • Drive billing correctness and reliability: build the monitoring, reconciliation, and testing that catch errors before customers do.

Requirements

  • Background from either a startup or a larger company is fine. What matters is experience and ability to operate in a fast-paced environment
  • Hands-on experience with usage-based billing, payments, or other revenue-critical systems, including third-party platforms like Orb, Metronome, or Stripe
  • Strong people leadership — the top priority for this role
  • Strong business instincts, with the ability to connect engineering investment to billing accuracy, revenue, and customer trust
  • Experience managing engineers; including senior and staff engineers; hiring, and performance management
  • Ability to partner closely with Finance, Product, and Customer Experience without needing to fill those functions yourself
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, with adaptability and a growth mindset
  • Hands-on enough to review code, prototype, and contribute directly when it helps the team
  • Proven experience building and scaling teams, ideally growing a group from a handful of engineers into a larger org
  • Background in distributed systems or event-driven architectures
  • Experience leading a billing platform migration or a pricing model change

Preferred

  • Familiarity with financial reconciliation and reporting processes
  • Experience building for developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, or DevTools
