About the Team The BizApps Commerce Team owns the billing infrastructure that powers 8x8's commercial engine.
We build and operate the systems that handle how customers are billed, how partners are onboarded, and how revenue flows through the business. Our work sits at the intersection of Product, Finance, and Platform engineering, and the systems we build are used every day by customers, partners, Salesforce ops, and finance teams worldwide.
We work across a modern, distributed stack and ship things that matter. We move fast, we own what we build end-to-end, and we care deeply about correctness because in billing, a bug isn't just a bug - it's a wrong invoice, an angry customer, or missed revenue.
The Role We're looking for a Staff Software Developer who is excited about building reliable, scalable billing and commerce systems. You'll join a tight-knit team of engineers and work directly with your engineering manager, other staff developers, tech leads, and cross-functional partners across Salesforce, finance, and channel ops.
