About Us

Metronome is the leading usage-based billing platform built for modern software companies. With Metronome, companies can launch products faster, offer any pricing model, and streamline finance workflows without writing code.

Our platform computes millions of invoices per billing period and is scaling rapidly to accommodate new customers, saving them hours of development time and manual invoicing and enabling them to use consumption data to better serve their customers. Our customers love our product and approach, and we’re humbled to work with amazing companies like OpenAI, Databricks, NVIDIA, Confluent, and Anthropic.

You'll be joining an experienced team that includes founders who have successfully built and sold startups before. Our founders and employees also have direct experience building and scaling teams through massive growth at companies like Dropbox, Clever, and New Relic. On the back of this experience and our success-to-date, we’ve raised over $128M from leading investors including NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and Workday Ventures. We’re also proud to have founders and executives of companies like Segment, Plaid, Looker, Gitlab, Confluent, HashiCorp, and Snowflake, as investors who have experienced the pain we're solving firsthand.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced infrastructure leader to own and scale the technical foundation that powers Metronome's platform. As Head of Infrastructure, you'll lead a growing team of ~15 engineers responsible for the real-time systems that process billions of events, millions of invoices and enable some of the world's most innovative companies to build their operations on Metronome.

  • Qualifications

  • 8+ years of infrastructure engineering experience including managing engineering managers and driving cross-organizational initiatives
  • Track record building and scaling engineering teams including hiring, mentoring, and creating processes that support rapid organizational growth
  • Proven track record scaling critical infrastructure at high-growth companies
  • Deep expertise in modern infrastructure technologies including streaming data platforms, distributed systems architecture, cloud platforms, observability stacks, and infrastructure-as-code
  • Strong operational excellence background including SLI / SLO frameworks, incident management, capacity planning, and proactive monitoring systems
  • Experience partnering with product engineering teams as an enabler, balancing infrastructure needs with product velocity and business requirements
  • Excellent communication and technical judgment with experience presenting technical concepts to stakeholders and deep understanding of how infrastructure decisions impact performance, productivity, and business outcomes
