Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is building observability and anomaly detection from scratch so billing and data problems get caught before they ever reach revenue or customers.
If you love catching problems before anyone else notices them, this is a greenfield team where you set the technical direction for how billing, data, and event anomalies get spotted and stopped before they touch revenue. You will build observability and detection tooling from the ground up in Ruby on Rails, shape the incident response model, and explore machine learning to predict trouble early. It suits someone who takes real ownership, holds a high bar for reliability, and enjoys bringing other engineers along.
