If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you. Overview We're hiring an Engineering Squad Lead to take full ownership of one of the focused domains here at Lago: shipping features, keeping production healthy, and coordinating the team around you. This is a role that blends hands-on technical contribution with operational leadership. You'll stay close to the code while also being the person who keeps the squad moving: scoping work with Product, unblocking engineers, owning production incidents, and making sure the team is building with quality and velocity. You won't be handed a fully-formed system to maintain. Lago is a fast-moving product in a complex domain, billing infrastructure where precision and reliability genuinely matter. You'll need to make sound architectural decisions quickly, communicate trade-offs clearly, and hold a high bar without slowing the team down. What you'll be doing Technology Share technical authority with the Staff Engineer for your squad's domain: evaluate trade-offs together and drive architecture decisions Stay hands-on: code review, prototyping, contributing to critical paths Maintain code quality and review standards within the squad Own the code health of your domain Delivery Own the squad's roadmap execution for the quarter Run sprint planning, keep work moving, and unblock engineers day-to-day Ensure the squad is prepared for biweekly product demos and decide who presents Act as the primary engineering point of contact for Product: scope features, communicate trade-offs, and align on priorities Production Own production health for your squad's domain: monitor dashboards (Grafana, Sentry), respond to alerts, and resolve incidents Triage and resolve customer-reported issues within SLA targets, working in coordination with Customer Success Monitor and address CVEs and security vulnerabilities within your domain People Coordinate a squad of up to 10 engineers Run operational 1:1s, give day-to-day feedback, and flag performance signals to the Head of Engineering Coordinate the onboarding of new team members into the squad Process Define and adjust the squad's ways of working: balancing agility and discipline as the team and product evolve Drive engineering excellence: track DORA metrics, reduce cycle time, raise the quality bar Continuously improve how the squad works based on team feedback and results Who you are A credible technical leader who can collaborate closely with engineers because you're still in the work A clear communicator who can scope a feature with a PM, explain a production incident to a non-technical stakeholder, and give direct feedback to an engineer — all in the same week Operationally strong: you keep the trains running without needing a system to tell you what needs attention Someone who cares about team health as much as delivery — you notice when an engineer is stuck or di

About Lago At Lago, we're on a mission to make Monetization simpler for tech companies. As the leading open-source billing platform, we help businesses build flexible pricing models and scale with confidence. We've raised over $22 million in funding from top-tier investors including Y Combinator and FirstMark. Our platform has garnered around 10K stars on GitHub, a testament to our active and growing developer community. Companies such as PayPal, CoreWeave, Synthesia, and Mistral.ai choose Lago for their billing. And we have barely spent any money on Marketing or Ads so far. We're a team of ambitious, focused individuals who solve hard problems with excellence and accountability. At Lago, we value reliability and proactivity. We trust each other to own tasks, drive them to completion, and continuously improve them. While we encourage you to try fast and “fail fast”, we also expect you to learn fast: make mistakes, but don't make the same one twice. If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you. The Role As an Enterprise Sales Consultant , you'll own the full commercial relationship with the companies that need Lago most: engineering-led, technically complex organisations navigating a fundamental change to how they bill their customers. This is not a role for someone who thrives on repetition. Every deal at Lago is different. You'll be navigating multi-stakeholder buying decisions that span engineering leads, product managers, CFOs, and C-suite — often simultaneously — while building genuine trust as a credible expert, not just a vendor. We're looking for someone who has spent years orchestrating complexity in a consulting environment and is now ready to own a commercial outcome. You understand how to map an organisation, align stakeholders, and bring structure to ambiguity. What you'll be building here is the instinct to close — and the satisfaction of owning a number. You'll be based in Paris, but still working closely with our CEO and GTM team in the USA, resulting in meaningful exposure to our US customer base. What You'll Be Doing Own the pipeline end-to-end : Qualify, progress, and close opportunities from initial contact through commercial negotiation and signed contract. You won't be cold calling or building the pipe, you will be expected to chase, follow up, and drive deals to a decision. Become a genuine product expert : Understand Lago's product architecture, open source positioning and pricing model well enough to hold a credible conversation with an engineering lead. You don't need to code, but you do need to care about the product deeply. Navigate complex buying environments : Map stakeholder landscapes across engineering, product, finance, and executive teams. Build the relationships and create the internal alignment that gets deals done. Complex sale requires strong project management skills. Run structured discovery : Go deep into a prospect's current billing infrastructure, understand their pain, and connect it clearly to what Lago solves. This is consultative selling — the quality of your diagnosis matters as much as your pitch. Lead demos and proof-of-concepts : Present Lago's value in a way that lands for both technical and business audiences. Adapt your approach to the room. Feed the feedback loop : Work closely with Product and Engineering to surface what you're hearing from prospects. At Lago's stage, what you learn in deals shapes what we build. Represent Lago externally : You'll be one of the faces of Lago for prospective customers. How you show up — prepared, sharp, curious — reflects directly on the company. Who You Are You've spent 5–10 years at an IT or digital transformation consultancy , working on complex implementation projects for large organisations — not pure strategy. You've built deliverables, managed client relationships, navigated internal politics, and produced work that had to be right. You've had commercial

If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you. Overview At Lago, Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs) are engineers embedded with customers. They build, integrate, and optimize Lago in production environments: ensuring adoption, scalability, and impact. This role blends engineering depth with delivery ownership and customer collaboration. You’ll write code, deploy systems, and translate real-world use cases into product-ready insights. FDEs are not part of the reactive support queue, and they’re not isolated in core product development. They sit at the intersection of engineering and delivery: the engineers who turn product flexibility into customer success. What you’ll be doing Own technical delivery for Tier 1 customers: from architecture design to deployment. Build custom integrations, connectors, and workflows using Lago’s Ruby on Rails APIs, React, and TypeScript stack. Design data ingestion pipelines and automation scripts (PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka). Configure and optimize billing, metering, and event processing setups tailored to customer environments. Collaborate with Support Engineers on reliability handoffs and Core Engineering on product extensions. Write reusable code, documentation, and best-practice templates for future implementations. Surface recurring patterns or feature gaps to Product and Engineering for roadmap input. Mentor customer teams on Lago’s architecture, SDKs, and deployment patterns. Who you are A software engineer/technical expert who thrives in hands-on, customer-facing environments. Enjoys designing integrations, data pipelines, and technical architectures. Communicates clearly, balancing technical detail with customer empathy. Resourceful and comfortable navigating ambiguity. Eager to work across code, delivery, and customer experience. Who you’re not You’re not part of reactive support queues: you plan, build, and deliver. You’re not detached from customers: you embed and advise. You’re not limited to writing specs: you ship and document your work. You’re not chasing short-term fixes: you design systems that scale. Requirements 4+ years of experience working closely with APIs and SDKs (in Ruby/React would be a bonus but can be multiple languages) Deep understanding of REST APIs, authentication, and integration patterns. Strong SQL and data modeling skills (PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka a plus). Experience designing and deploying production-ready integrations. Excellent written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Proven ability to manage delivery timelines and coordinate across teams. Nice to have Experience in technical consulting, professional services, or customer engineering. Familiarity with Terraform, Docker, or CI/CD environments. Background in billing, payments, or developer platforms. Prior contribution to open-source or customer-led product delivery. Growth path Technical: Senior → Core Engineering / Product Architec

If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you. Overview We are looking for a Growth Chief of Staff to take founder-defined priorities and turn them into shipped systems. Someone who can operate across GTM, ops, and growth without needing a playbook handed to them. This is not a fixed-scope role. Priorities shift. New problems emerge. What does not change is the expectation: you see what needs doing, own it, ship it, and turn it into a self-improving system. What You'll Be Doing Examples of projects: Build and own account outreach and nurturing motions from scratch Improve website conversion and CRM handoff processes Manage press, social, and brand projects around founder-led priorities Build dashboards, alerts, and operating cadences that keep the team moving, accountable, and improving Turn founder-led motions into campaigns, workflows, and repeatable playbooks Use AI tools and automation, while keeping humans in the loop when necessary Who You Are You take the owner seat. When a founder drops a half-formed idea, you do not wait for a follow-up. You turn it into a plan, identify what is missing, and own the outcome. You thrive on shifting priorities. This role will change shape as Lago grows. You're not looking for a rigid job spec. You're energized by being handed a new problem, figuring out the approach from scratch, and driving the impact. You communicate before you're asked. You share what you're working on, where things stand, and when something isn't working. Proactively, without needing a check-in to prompt you. You're curious and hands-on about technical and AI products. You don't need to be an engineer. But when you're evaluating a company, you read the docs, try the product, and build prototypes or workflows to understand it deeply. You understand what an API, a webhook, or an MCP is, or you can figure out a new technical concept quickly and explain why a customer would use it. That curiosity and builder-first mindset are non-negotiable. You're ruthless about what actually matters. You can look at five possible projects and correctly identify the one that moves the needle this week. You don't confuse activity with impact. Who You're Not Someone who arrives wanting to audit everything and start fresh. The priority is to double down on what already works. A strategist who produces decks. You produce shipped things. Someone focused on inputs. Outputs and impact are the north stars. Someone easily overwhelmed by things they have never done before or technical concepts. It has never been easier to learn new skills. Requirements 5+ years of experience in Growth Ops, GTM Ops, RevOps, BizOps, or a Founder's Office role with genuine GTM ownership Proven track record of building workflows, dashboards, and operating cadences, not just coordinating them Experience breaking down undefined problems: taking a business need and turning it into prioritized workstreams

If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you. Overview We're looking for a Senior Product Engineer to help drive Lago's core product forward — someone who obsesses over what gets built and why. You'll work at the intersection of engineering, product and design, owning features end-to-end: from shaping requirements with customers to shipping and iterating in production. This is a high-ownership role for someone who doesn't want to wait for a spec — they want to write it, then build it. What you'll be doing Own product features end-to-end, from discovery and scoping to implementation, release, and iteration in production. Work directly with customers and internal teams to understand pain points, clarify requirements, and identify the highest-impact problems to solve. Contribute actively to product decisions, not just technical execution. Build clean, reliable, and maintainable solutions with a strong sense of quality, usability, and customer impact. Collaborate closely with engineering, product, design, and GTM teams to align on priorities and deliver high-quality outcomes. Use AI thoughtfully to move faster, explore solutions, prototype ideas, and improve your own engineering workflow. Engage with our developer community by contributing to the open-source repository, responding to GitHub issues, and representing Lago's engineering standards publicly. Who you are You're comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. You create clarity instead of waiting for it. You care about what gets built and why, not only how it gets implemented. You have strong product instincts and naturally think about user experience, business impact, customer needs, and technical trade-offs. You communicate clearly in writing and in conversation. You know how to align people in a room, challenge assumptions constructively, and question your own assumptions when needed. You know how to build with and without AI. You can use AI tools to move faster, but you also understand the fundamentals deeply enough to reason, debug, and make decisions independently. You value ownership. When you take on a problem, you drive it to completion. You're pragmatic. You know when to move fast, when to go deep, and when to keep things simple. Requirements 5+ years of software engineering or product engineering experience, with a track record of shipping products users love — not just systems that work. Strong product and design instincts: you think about UX, business impact, customer needs, and technical correctness together. Experience building B2B SaaS products, ideally developer tools, APIs, infrastructure, billing, fintech, or usage-based platforms. Strong AI skills: you know how to use AI tools effectively to build, prototype, debug, and accelerate your work — while still being able to build and reason without relying on them. Strong communication skills, both written and spoken. You can align people around a decision, explain trade-

What the role involves
At Lago, we're on a mission to make billing simpler, more transparent, and more adaptable for SaaS companies. As the leading open-source billing platform, we empower businesses to build flexible pricing models and scale with confidence. We've raised over $22 million in funding from top-tier investors including Y Combinator and FirstMark , reflecting strong confidence in our vision and growth. Our platform has garnered over 9,000 stars on GitHub , a testament to our active and growing developer community. Companies such as PayPal , CoreWeave , Synthesia and Mistral.ai choose Lago for their billing. We're a team of ambitious, focused individuals who work together to solve hard problems with excellence and accountability. At Lago, we value reliability and proactivity —we trust each other to own tasks, drive them to completion, and adapt quickly. While we encourage you to try fast and "fail fast" , we also expect you to learn fast : make mistakes, but don't make the same one twice. If you're excited by challenges and want to grow alongside a high-performing, supportive team, this is the place for you. Overview We're hiring a Solutions Engineer in Europe to be the technical backbone of our GTM motion — from first demo to successful go-live and beyond. This is a dual-focus role: pre-sales first , where you help prospects evaluate and understand Lago deeply, and post-sales second , where you ensure the customers who sign with us get to production and see value. You will work directly with our AE team, co-founders, and product to shape deals and guide implementations. This isn't a classic SE role where you polish the same demo script for every prospect. Every billing architecture is different, every contract is custom, and every customer has gaps you'll need to bridge creatively. You'll need to go deep — technically and commercially — to help prospects understand what's possible in Lago and translate that into real, working configurations. You'll be joining a small, high-ownership team and working alongside people who already set the standard for what great looks like in this function at Lago. What you'll be doing Pre-sales (primary focus) Run technical discovery calls to understand prospects' pricing models, billing infrastructure, and integration requirements Lead and own product demos — building bespoke demo environments tailored to each prospect's use cases, not off-the-shelf scripts Manage technical evaluations and cloud trials end-to-end: configure demo data, set up trial environments, run technical workshops, and stay close to the prospect throughout Write clear, honest deal debriefs that capture what landed, what's at risk, and what actions are needed — shared with the AE and founder team Surface and work through product gaps creatively: propose API-level workarounds, validate feasibility with engineering, and frame limitations transparently without losing deals Produce competitive technical analysis and maintain battle cards as Lago's market position evolves Partner with AEs on commercial strategy: know when to push for a close, when to escalate to a founder, and how to sequence the conversation Post-sales (secondary focus) Lead onboarding for new customers — both their engineering teams (API integration, event schema, webhooks) and their finance and ops teams (plan configuration, invoice flows, reporting) Serve as the primary technical point of contact through the implementation phase, owning the customer relationship until they go live Conduct proactive check-ins and syncs throughout implementation to unblock customers and prevent issues before they escalate Identify expansion and optimisation opportunities within existing accounts as usage matures Partner with Customer Success and Support to ensure a clean handoff after go-live Feed recurring implementation pain points back to Product and Engineering to inform roadmap prioritisation Who you are A strong technical generalist who can read API
