Infrastructure at Orb: Hard problems, real ownership and impact

Orb is a company focused on developing a dynamic billing and monetization platform that is directly intertwined with its infrastructure challenges. Initially, Orb's small team concentrated on product development and customer acquisition, but as the company grew, the need for a dedicated infrastructure team became apparent to ensure reliability and performance. The infrastructure team tackles complex technical issues such as scaling to handle millions of usage events per second, maintaining low latency for real-time analytics, and managing costs efficiently. This role involves collaborative and cross-functional work, with engineers participating in daily standups, retrospectives, and design sessions, all while being integral to the product's success and customer satisfaction. Engineers at Orb are expected to be problem-solvers who thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, are capable of end-to-end project ownership, and enjoy working on distributed and scalable systems. The company is at an inflection point, seeking talented engineers to help scale its platform and redefine how modern companies approach pricing, billing, and monetization.
