Description

About Us

Metronome is building a new real-time source of truth for business data, starting with powering the software industry's transition to usage-based business models.

Our platform computes millions of invoices per billing period and is scaling rapidly to accommodate new customers, saving them hours of development time and manual invoicing and enabling them to use consumption data to better serve their customers.

Our customers love our product and approach, and we're humbled to work with amazing companies like OpenAI, Cockroach Labs and mParticle.

You'll be joining an experienced team that includes founders who have successfully built and sold startups before.

Our founders and employees also have direct experience building and scaling teams through massive growth at companies like Dropbox, Clever, and New Relic.

On the back of this experience and our success-to-date, we've raised over $35m from leading investors including Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Elad Gil.

We're also proud to have founders and executives of companies like Segment, Plaid, Looker, Gitlab, Confluent, HashiCorp, Snowflake, and Databricks as investors who have experienced the pain we're solving firsthand.

About the Role

At the core of it, Metronome is building a high-volume data collection and processing system to support usage-based billing functionality.

We ingest billions of events that represent our customers' product usage data (also known as metering data) to then calculate revenue on a monthly basis.

A key part of our product strategy is to make Metronome a connected system that streams out data to our users' ecosystem, including data warehouses, business systems, and BI tools.

In this role, you will be responsible for maturing and scaling our architecture and laying the foundations for new product offerings based on machine learning and data exploration capabilities.

You will manage our Kafka, S3, and Postgres-based data infrastructure which powers several of our critical product functionalities.

This role offers high visibility and impact, as you will enable our users to solve billing challenges using critical product usage and revenue data.
