[Hiring] Billing Systems Architect @Platform.sh

Role Description

As an Enterprise Billing Systems Architect at Upsun, you are the technical anchor of our billing infrastructure, playing a vital role in ensuring our revenue operations, pricing structures, and financial integrations run seamlessly as our business scales. You serve as the dedicated technical lead bridging Finance, Product, and Engineering.

• Billing Infrastructure & Administration:
  • Serve as the hands-on technical owner of our BillingPlatform environment, configuring catalogs, price cards, usage rating rules, and automated invoice schedules.
• System Operations & Maintenance:
  • Own ongoing platform health, including system updates, pricing launches, recurring bill-run troubleshooting, sync exception handling, and root-cause issue resolution.
• Data Ingestion & Analysis:
  • Utilize SQL to perform data validation, rating engine auditing, and operational reporting while collaborating with Engineering to receive mediated usage data (e.g., via DigitalRoute or Kafka).
• Integrations & API Management:
  • Maintain and optimize clean, API-driven integrations connecting BillingPlatform to upstream CRMs (e.g. Salesforce), downstream ERP/GL tools (e.g., NetSuite), and payment gateways (e.g., Stripe).
• Revenue Recognition Alignment:
  • Partner closely with Accounting to ensure system rating rules, revenue schedules, and general ledger mappings satisfy ASC 606 and IFRS 15 compliance standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  • Gather technical and operational requirements directly from Accounting, Finance, Sales Ops, and Product teams, translating their vision into sustainable platform configuration.
• Data Integrity & Migration:
  • Maintain billing data continuity and manage subscription data updates or migrations without disrupting ongoing financial operations or revenue recognition flows.

Qualifications

• Proven hands-on experience configuring and administering enterprise Quote-to-Cash or billing platforms (e.g., Zuora, Salesforce Revenue Cloud/CPQ, NetSuite Billing, Aria Systems, or BillingPlatform).
• Strong proficiency with SQL for querying and auditing billing data, alongside a solid grasp of REST APIs, webhooks, and ETL workflows.
• Experience supporting complex SaaS or infrastructure pricing models—such as PLG, hybrid commitment-plus-usage, tiered rates, and consumption-based/metered billing.
• Practical understanding of rev rec fundamentals (ASC 606 / IFRS 15) and how accounting rules dictate billing engine design.
• Ability to bridge technical language and financial business logic, effectively collaborating with engineering teams and accounting stakeholders alike.
• A methodical approach to diagnosing system sync errors, rating anomalies, and integration edge cases to ensure operational continuity.

Requirements

• Experience with DigitalRoute mediation software or Kafka event-stream data intake.
• Previous exposure to cloud infrastructure, PaaS, or developer-platform usage metrics.
• Background supporting system migrations from implementation partners into internal teams.

Benefits

• Flexible PTO
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage (UK, Canada, France, Spain, USA)
• Company stock options
• Professional development budget
• Office equipment budget
• Wellness budget
• Annual team gatherings
• Internet reimbursement
• Inclusive parental leave
• Remote work travel program
