Requirements mention: usage-based contracts · usage-based billing · cash application · AR aging · usage-based pricing · quote-to-cash

Of 27 open roles, 7 sit in Operations (billing, accounting, procurement, legal, compliance, IT and recruiting sourcing), 5 in Applied AI, 4 in Engineering, 3 in Founders Initiatives, 2 each in Sales, Technical Success and Product, and 1 each in Marketing and Partnerships.

Who they need

Seniority: 14 senior, 7 mid, 2 manager, 1 staff, 3 not stated

Skills named most: Python, AI voice agents, voice AI, APIs, integrations, JavaScript, LLMs, Salesforce, HubSpot, TypeScript, system design, debugging

Locations: 22 roles in the San Francisco Bay Area, 4 remote (the postings do not state a country for remote roles), and 1 in Singapore.

How to use this

If you're applying: Match your language and stack to the posting. The Spanish and Mandarin forward-deployed roles require fluency, and the Singapore role is tied to that location, so check those first. Most roles are on-site in the Bay Area; only 4 are remote.

If you're selling or recruiting: Hiring is picking up: 11 roles opened in the last 30 days versus 3 in the prior 30, with 3 closed. Operations is the largest department, with 7 of 27 roles. The postings name the systems in use: Stripe, NetSuite and QuickBooks (billing), Vanta (compliance), Jamf, Kandji, Intune and Rippling (IT), and Salesforce and HubSpot (sales). The Procurement Manager posting lists vendor selection and vendor consolidation, so expect a structured buying process once that seat is filled.
