Implementation Architect- San Francisco HQ About Orb: We're a team that cares deeply about the work, the people we do it with, and the customers we do it for. Everyone at Orb has real ownership over their work, direct access to customers, and a voice in how the company grows. We're at a stage where the decisions you make today show up in the product tomorrow. The problems are genuinely interesting and you'll be surrounded by people who are thoughtful, ambitious, and fun to work with. For SF Bay Area and NYC residents, we've built a hybrid work culture where we are in office 3 days a week. For remote roles, we ask you to join us in person once a quarter. Our values, customer centricity, minutes matter, run with it, and attention to detail shape how we work and grow as a team. About the role: Implementation Architects on Orb's wider Customer Success team are the technical partners our customers rely on after they sign. You'll own the technical post-sales journey - from initial implementation through go-live and beyond - ensuring customers successfully architect their billing integration and get value from Orb as quickly as possible. You'll work directly with customers to understand their pricing models, map their business logic to Orb's platform, and guide them through complex implementation decisions. When you spot friction that's slowing customers down, you'll partner with the engineering side of our broader product/engineering team to advocate for improvements that solve problems at scale.
