## Job description

Stigg The Usage Runtime for AI Products But what is it exactly? Built by former New Relic engineers, Stigg provides the infrastructure AI companies need to meter, monetize, and govern product usage at scale. Our real-time usage runtime enables companies to manage entitlements, usage metering, credits, budgets, and access controls - all without building complex infrastructure from scratch. So what? Why now? AI is fundamentally changing how software is consumed and monetized. Every API request, inference, or agent action can generate real cost, while traditional billing systems only report usage after it happens. Stigg helps AI companies make real-time decisions about what each customer, user, team, or agent is allowed to do - before the cost is incurred. This gives engineering teams the control they need, while allowing Product and GTM teams to quickly introduce and evolve new monetization models. Are you funded? 💰 We are! Stigg is backed by Red Dot Capital Partners, Unusual Ventures, and Emerge. Our platform is trusted by leading companies such as Miro, Webflow, PagerDuty, Upwork, Productboard, Qlik, and HackerOne. Team → Product → Traction - where you at? 🐜 A lean global team of around 40 people 🏠 Headquartered in Tel Aviv, with team members across Israel, the US, and Europe 🚀 Launched Stigg 2.0 - the Usage Runtime for AI Products ⚡ Built to process over 1M usage events per second and make real-time decisions in milliseconds We’re looking for an exceptional Infrastructure Backend Engineer! We’re looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Metering & Infrastructure team and help build the infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI products. Stigg sits directly in the request path of our customers’ applications, making real-time decisions about entitlements, credits, usage, and access. This makes performance, scalability, and reliability critical to everything we build. You’ll work on our metering infrastructure, built to handle 1M events per second, including remote deployments running in our customers’ cloud environments. You’ll also partner closely with our engineering teams to help them move faster, improve the developer experience, and build the tools and infrastructure they need to ship software quickly and reliably. What will be your primary goals 🎯

- Lead infrastructure initiatives and continuously improve our SDLC, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
- Build and scale our high-throughput, low-latency metering pipeline.
- Build and maintain BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) deployments in customers’ cloud environments.
- Improve the developer experience by building tools and infrastructure that help our engineering teams move faster and ship with confidence.
- Play an active role in shaping our architecture and driving key technical decisions.

What we think can help you achieve your goals 🏆

- 3+ years of backend software engineering experience, with a strong focus on infrastructure.
- Proven experience designing and building APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
- Strong understanding of messaging systems and event-driven architectures.
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience working with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS.
- Daily hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor) and agentic development workflows.

## About Stigg

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Stigg provides a headless monetization and entitlements platform that helps SaaS companies launch, iterate, and manage pricing and packaging changes through APIs and SDKs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Tel Aviv, Israel (with presence in the United States)
- **Founded**: 2021 (approximate)
- **Founders**: Dor Sasson (CEO) and Anton (last name not publicly available)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Software Development / SaaS Infrastructure
- Target customers: B2B, primarily engineering teams at SaaS companies (from startups to enterprises)
- Mission or purpose statement: "Change how the world buys software" — building the first unified monetization platform for engineering teams to free them from rigid legacy billing systems.

## Products & Services
- **Stigg Monetization Platform (Cloud API)**: A headless platform offering APIs and SDKs for pricing, packaging, entitlements, metering, and credit management. Allows developers to implement pricing plans once and never touch paywalls or provisioning in the codebase again.
- **Usage Runtime for AI Products**: A real-time enforcement layer for AI businesses that decides what every customer, user, and agent is allowed to do — handling credits, entitlements, metering, and governance with sub-10ms latency and support for millions of events per second.
- **Deployment Options**: Cloud-hosted (zero infra to manage via REST API/SDKs) or BYOC (Deploy Stigg into the customer's own VPC for full data control and security compliance).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — $23.9M (Series A of $17.5M led by Red Dot Capital Partners in Dec 2024, plus a $6.4M Seed round in Apr 2022)
- **Annual Revenue**: Estimated at $1.0M (per LinkedIn data)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Red Dot Capital Partners (lead, Series A), Unusual Ventures, plus industry leaders from New Relic, Calendly, HubSpot, GitLab, and Snowflake as angel investors/advisors.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 16.2% YoY to 45 employees; strong product pivot to AI usage runtime signals a move into a high-growth market segment; trusted by engineering teams operating at scale.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Headless & API-first architecture**: Decouples pricing logic from the codebase, allowing product and revenue teams to iterate without engineering bottlenecks.
- **Real-time, high-scale enforcement**: Capable of millions of credit events per second with sub-10ms balance updates, purpose-built for the AI economy.
- **Vendor-agnostic billing layer**: Works on top of any existing billing provider (Stripe, Zuora, etc.) with bi-directional sync — no migration required.
- **Data ownership & compliance**: BYOC deployment option allows customers to keep all data within their own VPC and security perimeter.

## Strategic Focus
- **AI monetization infrastructure**: Building the "usage runtime" for AI products, handling credits, entitlements, and governance at massive scale.
- **Product-led growth**: Enabling self-serve spend controls and budget caps configurable by customers, reducing support overhead.
- **Platform expansion**: Continuing to serve traditional SaaS companies while deepening capabilities for AI-native businesses.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture values**: Transparency, ownership, communication, craftsmanship, and resilience are at the core. The team values customer empathy, resourcefulness, and a positive "onward & upward" attitude.
- **Team composition**: A diverse mix of ~45 people across Israel (91%) and the US (14%), with a strong technical focus (47% of staff in technical roles). Team spans engineering, product, design, sales, marketing, and operations.
- **Work environment**: Hybrid-friendly ("Whether you work from home or join us in the office"), with an emphasis on smart colleagues, inspiring discussions, and making an impact.
- **Perks & culture**: Described as a mix of foodies, book lovers, parents, pet enthusiasts, surfers, and Marvel fans — a casual and passionate atmosphere.
- **Growth opportunity**: As a well-funded Series A company with a clear product-market fit in a hot space (AI monetization), employees have significant ownership and the chance to shape the platform from an early stage.
- **Active hiring**: Currently listing one open position (Community Marketing Lead), with a history of hiring across departments.
