About the role
Every product Databricks ships has to be priced, contracted, rated and billed before it can earn a dollar. The Money organization builds the systems that make this happen, at hyperscaler scale and across every major cloud. We built the world's only cross-cloud integrated rating engine in-house, and it now rates billions of dollars in revenue. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- A track record of delivering large, revenue-critical, cross-functional programs (for example, replacing a billing or rating system, migrating a source of truth, or automating order-to-cash) on time and with high quality
- Technical depth in distributed systems and large-scale data pipelines. You can discuss correctness, idempotency, reconciliation and data lineage with tech leads, and you know when to coach and when to decide
- Fluency in order-to-cash and finance concepts: pricing and discounting, contracts, revenue recognition, invoicing, month-end close, SOX controls. You have earned trust as a partner to Finance and Accounting leaders
- Strong product judgment: you can spot gaps in the commercial platform, shape requirements with Product, and make build-versus-buy decisions that pay off over time
- Clear, confident communication of strategy to executives, plus the ability to influence peers in Product, Finance, IT and GTM without direct authority
- Experience scaling an organization quickly while keeping a high hiring bar, developing strong leaders and engineers, and keeping them engaged on internal platform work
