COMPANY OPERATING RHYTHM At Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance. Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do. Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5. ABOUT THE ROLE As a Billing & Analytics Engineer on the Console & Analytics team, you will own the systems that turn Deepgram’s raw API usage into accurate invoices, revenue-grade analytics, and the self-service billing experience our customers depend on. This is the financial backbone of a high-growth AI company: every dollar of revenue flows through the code you build and maintain. You will design and operate the full billing pipeline—from usage event ingestion and metering through aggregation, rating, invoicing, and integration with third-party billing and CRM platforms. You’ll also own the analytics surfaces that give customers visibility into their consumption and give internal teams the data they need to operate the business. This role pulls billing and analytics engineering out of the broader Console team, creating a dedicated function that insulates and accelerates Deepgram’s product-led growth (PLG) effort. WHAT YOU’LL DO Usage Metering & Event Processing: Design, build, and maintain the pipeline that ingests, validates, and processes usage messages from Deepgram’s inference and voice agent services. Ensure events are captured with sub-second reliability at scale, with idempotency and exactly-once semantics to guarantee billing accuracy. Usage Aggregation & Summarization: Build the aggregation layer that rolls raw usage events into usage summaries—by customer, product, time window, and pricing dimension. Optimize for query performance so that both real-time dashboards and end-of-period billing runs operate within SLA. Billing System Integration: Own the integration with usage-based billing platforms (M3ter, Metronome, or equivalent). Implement rating, plan management, and invoice generation logic. Ensure billing data reconciles cleanly with usage records and that edge cases (overages, credits, mid-cycle plan changes, enterprise commitments) are handled correctly. CRM & RevOps Integration: Build and maintain integrations with Salesforce and RevOps tooling to synchronize customer accounts, contract terms, entitlements, and billing status. Partner with Finance and RevOps to ensure billing data supports revenue recognition, forecasting, and audit requirements. Console Billing Experience: Develop the customer-facing billing and usage views within the Deepgram Console. Build clear, actionable dashboards that show real-time and historical usage, current spend, billing history, and plan details. Design the self-service flows for plan upgrades, payment method management, and invoice retrieval. In-DC Access, Permissions & Token Management: Own the billing-adjacent authorization surfaces: API key and token management, usage-based access controls, entitlement enforcement, and the permission model that gates feature access based on customer plan and billing status. Ensure these systems are secure, auditable, and performant. Analytics & Reporting: Build internal analytics pipelines and dashboards that surface usage trends, cohort behavior, conversion funnels, and revenue metrics to Product, Growth, and Finance teams.
