Responsibilities
Lead and grow a team of engineers responsible for order management automation, focusing on reliability, correctness, and smooth customer onboarding
Own the architecture and roadmap for order data flows into downstream systems (e.g., internal provisioning services, billing/invoicing services, and revenue workflows)
Build and operate resilient workflows and services that automate entitlements, provisioning, usage controls, SKU attribution, invoice generation/delivery, and revenue recognition—minimizing manual steps while maximizing correctness and traceability
Improve accuracy and timeliness of provisioning, billing, and invoicing—reducing manual intervention and operational load through automation, validation, and reconciliations
Establish strong operational practices (observability, alerting, runbooks, on-call) so systems remain healthy without constant human oversight
Partner deeply with Sales Operations, Finance, Accounting, Support, Product, Security, and Compliance to translate requirements into resilient, auditable workflows
Drive clarity across ambiguous problem spaces and evolving product offerings; create frameworks and abstractions that scale as OpenAI’s commercial footprint expands
Set high engineering standards via technical direction, design reviews, mentoring, and fostering a culture of ownership and continuous improvement
Bring strong leadership: teach and level up engineers, recruit and retain talent, manage stakeholders, and scope work to balance customer needs with realistic deliverables
Qualification

Strong in systems design, data modeling, and building reliable distributed services and workflows
Experience in domains where correctness, auditability, and reconciliation are essential (e.g., payments, ERP/finance systems, invoicing/revenue recognition)
Lead (or effectively partner on) customer-facing billing experiences with a focus on clarity, accessibility, and trust
Care deeply about operational excellence and building systems that are observable, predictable, and resilient
Communicate clearly, build trust, and lead with context rather than control; energized by close cross-functional partnership
Preferred
