Senior Software Engineer, Monetization Platform

The role

We are hiring an AI-native backend engineer to help turn our billing systems into Aiven's Monetization Platform. We are open to a mid-level or a senior engineer. What matters most is that you already build software with AI as a core part of how you work, and that you want to own a platform, not just ship tickets. Build it with your team: design and implement the metering, pricing, invoicing and payment services in Python that every Aiven product and team depends on. Make it self-serve: expose monetization through well-designed APIs and SDKs so product teams, customers and their agents can price, meter and read usage without opening a ticket. Own correctness at scale: billing has few happy paths. You treat reconciliation, idempotency, retries, audit trails and month-end runs as the real work and keep every invoice right. Work AI-first: use frontier models and agentic coding tools as your default workflow, and help build the harnesses, evals and shared context that make AI-assisted work reliable for the whole team. Partner across the company: work with Finance, GTM, Support and the product domains to turn pricing and packaging decisions into working software. Operate what you build: release, monitor and run your services in production with clear runbooks, SLOs and alerting that only fires when it matters.
