Develop and scale backend billing platform features collaborating with product and frontend teams. | 6+ years Ruby experience, event-driven systems, REST APIs, strong communication, and ownership mindset. | 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 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.
