Senior Level Senior Software Developer Jobs

About Orb:

We're a team that cares deeply about the work, the people we do it with, and the customers we do it for. Everyone at Orb has real ownership over their work, direct access to customers, and a voice in how the company grows. We're building the revenue design platform that helps teams automate billing, evolve pricing, and grow revenue with confidence.

Looking ahead, joining forces with Adyen expands what we can build and raises the ceiling on the problems we get to solve for customers. The challenges are uniquely interesting, and you'll be surrounded by thoughtful, ambitious people who move fast and hold a high bar.

For San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and Amsterdam residents, we've built a hybrid work culture where we are in office 3 days/week. Our values, customer centricity, minutes matter, run with it, attention to detail, and go further together are at the core of everything we do.

About the role:

As a member of the infrastructure team, you'll play a key role in maintaining a high bar for reliability. Our customers depend on our systems being operational, as downtime can directly lead to lost revenue. You'll be responsible for the infrastructure powering the entire product, from event ingestion, API services, alerting, invoicing, and everything in between.

In this role, you will:

• Lead infrastructure resiliency efforts - recovery mechanisms, tenant isolation, load spike handling, etc
• Improve observability and operability of our systems
• Build performance-critical, user-facing infrastructure (e.g. real-time event processing)
• Plan scaling initiatives to handle large customer growth
• Partner with other engineering teams to ensure we build reliable product features
• Learn from a talented peer group, and share your expertise

About you:

• You think deeply about edge cases, failure modes, bottlenecks, etc
• You have a knack for investigating and debugging tricky errors and performance issues
• You enjoy building scalable infrastructure for a high-growth product
• You can effectively mentor fellow engineers on best practices (observability, rollout strategies, risk mitigation, etc)
• You have 9+ years of experience in software engineering, and you've worked in the infrastructure domain for 2+ years

Orb's Tech Stack:

At Orb, we believe great engineers can learn any stack, so you do not need experience with these specific tools and we encourage you to apply regardless.

• Frontend: Typescript + React + Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Python
• Datastores: PostgreSQL + Clickhouse
• Streaming Platforms: Kafka + Spark Streaming
• Cloud Platform: AWS

Why Adyen x Orb?

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a solid, established company with a startup mindset, characterized by small teams, direct communication, and work on important challenges. You'll have direct access to massive global datasets (e.g., payments, identity data) and the ability to see your team's work have an immediate impact at scale.

While this is a San Francisco-based role, we recognize that global mobility matters—especially for candidates navigating complex situations. Adyen has deep roots in Europe and a strong global presence, and we're open to future relocation conversations to our offices if better supports your personal or professional goals in the future. Our aim is to build a lasting foundation for you at Adyen x Orb—starting in San Francisco, but with the flexibility to adapt as life evolves.

The annual base salary range for this role is $212,800 - $293,000 plus RSUs; to learn more about our compensation philosophy, please click here. This position is based out of the San Francisco office.
