## About the role

Every token that flows through OpenRouter is a financial event. Billions of requests run across hundreds of models and dozens of providers, and each request carries its own cost, price, discount and contract terms. Behind the inference engine sits a money engine: metering, pricing, invoicing, credits, payments, payouts and the ledger that ties it all together. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building production financial systems: billing, payments, ledgers or revenue infrastructure, at a fintech or a usage-based SaaS company
- Deep fluency in money-correctness patterns: idempotency, double-entry accounting, exactly-once event processing, reconciliation and safe migrations of financial data
- Hands-on experience with Stripe (or similar processors) and a billing/invoicing platform, including contract, subscription and usage-based models
- Strong TypeScript and SQL. Comfortable with Postgres and analytical stores (ClickHouse or similar) at high event volume
- Working knowledge of accounting: AR/AP, revenue recognition, deferred revenue, month-end close. You can talk with Finance in their language
- You work well across teams. You'll partner daily with Provider, Trust & Safety, Sales, CS and Finance, and turn messy business asks into clean systems
