Our team has deep experience building large systems that serve hundreds of millions of users, and we’re bringing that same level of rigor to a rapidly evolving AI inference space. Our mission is to make advanced AI available to people and teams everywhere. We’re an early, tight-knit team where you can influence product direction, try bold ideas, and drive meaningful work forward quickly. If you want to join a fast-growing company at a defining moment, we’d love to talk. DeepInfra is backed by leading investors including A.Capital, Felicis, 500 Global, Georges Harik, Samsung Next, Supermicro, Upper90, Peak6, SVAngel and Nvidia. ## Role Overview We are looking for a Billing & Payments Manager to own how DeepInfra turns usage into revenue. Thousands of developers and companies run AI models on our platform every day, paying through self-serve credit cards, prepaid developer wallets, and custom enterprise terms — and you’ll own the pipeline that meters that usage, bills it accurately, and collects it reliably. You’ll run billing operations, optimize payments performance, protect the platform against billing fraud and abuse, and help launch new pricing models as our product grows. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Finance, and Sales. We’re looking for someone analytical, operationally sharp, and comfortable working deeply across both data and systems. ## What You’ll Do Usage-Based Rating & Metering - Telemetry-to-Cash Pipeline: Oversee the end-to-end pipeline from metered usage through rating, invoicing, and cash collection. Billing Operations & Reconciliations - High-Volume Invoicing: Run monthly and real-time invoicing across thousands of self-serve customers, prepaid developer wallets, and custom enterprise accounts payable terms. - Daily Reconciliations: Reconcile transaction fees, card authorizations, and chargebacks against Stripe and other payment gateways. Payments & Gateway Infrastructure - Payment Performance: Manage payment gateway routing, interchange optimization, localized payment methods, and retry logic to improve payment success rates and reduce involuntary churn. Fraud Detection & Abuse Prevention - Billing Fraud: Partner with Engineering to identify and mitigate API billing fraud and abuse. Credit, Collections & Dunning - Dunning & Suspension: Manage dunning sequences for failed self-serve payments and define automated API key suspension thresholds. - Collections: Lead collections for overdue mid-market and enterprise accounts. Cross-Functional Collaboration - Revenue Accounting: Partner with the Corporate Controller on deferred revenue and breakage schedules. - Pricing Launches: Partner with Engineering and company leadership to operationalize new pricing models, such as committed throughput reservations, burst overages, and multimodal image and audio pricing. ## What You Bring - Experience: 6+ years of relevant experience in billing operations, payments, monetization, revenue operations, or related roles, ideally within a usage-based SaaS, cloud infrastructure, fintech, or developer platform business. - Payments Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with Stripe or comparable payment platforms and a solid understanding of payment authorization, retries, chargebacks, and payment performance. - Usage-Based Billing: Experience with metered or consumption-based billing, prepaid credits, enterprise invoicing, or other complex billing models. - Data Fluency: Strong analytical skills and comfort working directly with billing, payment, and usage data. SQL experience is a strong plus. - Technical Partnership: Ability to work closely with Engineering on billing systems, integrations, fraud controls, and automation. - Operational Ownership: Comfortable owning critical financial workflows end to end, identifying issues quickly, and building processes and systems that can scale with a rapidly growing business. ## How we work Three traits define the people who thrive here, and this role leans on all three. Initiative. We take ownership and step in where we can add value. Whether it’s starting something new, improving what exists, or helping move ideas forward, we aim to be proactive and thoughtful in how we contribute. Drive. We’re energized by hard problems. Building AI infrastructure is complex, and we lean into that. We care about doing things well, moving fast, and continuously improving — because solving meaningful challenges is what motivates us. Grit. Things don’t always work on the first try — and that’s expected. We stay persistent, adapt quickly, and learn as we go. We take setbacks seriously, but not personally, and use them to get better. ## About Deep Infra Inc. ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: DeepInfra operates a purpose-built AI inference cloud that provides developer-friendly APIs for running open-source and proprietary machine learning models at scale. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States - **Founded**: September 2022 - **Founders**: Nikola Borisov (CEO), Georgios Papoutsis, and Yessenzhar Kanapin ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning Infrastructure - **Target customers**: B2B; startups, enterprises, and developers needing high-throughput, low-latency AI model inference. - **Mission or purpose statement**: To provide a reliable, non-lock-in inference provider built on open-source models, giving companies full control over their AI stack with purpose-built, inference-optimized infrastructure from the GPU hardware layer up to the API. ## Products & Services - **DeepInfra Inference API**: A developer-friendly, OpenAI-compatible API offering access to over 100 open-source and proprietary models (including GLM-5.3-Flash, Kimi K3). Features pay-as-you-go pricing with no long-term contracts. - **Private GPU Clusters**: Dedicated NVIDIA B300 GPU clusters for enterprise customers, available on 5-year terms at significantly below-market rates (e.g., $1.98/GPU-hr vs. $6.50/GPU-hr on public cloud). Scales from 256 to 5,000 GPUs. - **Custom Model Hosting**: A service allowing customers to deploy their own models on DeepInfra’s optimized infrastructure. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed for the Series B round. - **Key Metric (Funding)**: Total funding of approximately **$153.6M** across 5 rounds, according to LinkedIn. The most recent round was a **$107M Series B** co-led by 500 Global and Georges Harik, with participation from A.Capital Ventures, Crescent Cove, Felicis, NVIDIA, Peak6, Samsung Next, Supermicro, and Upper90. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: NVIDIA, Felicis, 500 Global, Samsung Next, Supermicro, Peak6, A.Capital Ventures, Crescent Cove, Georges Harik. - **Growth Signals**: - Processes over **four trillion tokens per week**. - **25x token volume growth** since Series A. - Workforce grew **312.5% year-over-year** (to 27 employees). - LinkedIn follower count grew **160.7% Year-over-Year**. - Revenue estimated by LinkedIn at **$3.8M annually** (likely early-stage metric). ## Competitive Advantages - **Vertically Integrated Infrastructure**: Unlike many competitors that run on top of public clouds, DeepInfra owns and operates its own GPU hardware in US-based data centers, giving it direct control over cost and performance. - **Cost Leadership**: Advertising pricing up to 70% cheaper than public cloud alternatives for dedicated clusters (e.g., $1.98/GPU-hr for B300). - **Enterprise Security & Compliance**: SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified with a strict zero data retention policy, ensuring data privacy. - **Open-Source Focus**: DeepInfra is built on the belief that open-source models are the future, offering a wide variety (100+ models) without vendor lock-in. ## Strategic Focus - **Scale and Product Expansion**: The Series B funding is specifically earmarked for scaling the "inference cloud," likely meaning expanding GPU capacity and geographic footprint. - **Supporting Agentic and Complex Workloads**: The platform is optimized for long-horizon agent tasks, coding, and complex multimodal workflows, indicating a focus on the most compute-intensive and emerging AI use cases. - **Enterprise Deployments**: The offering of dedicated, long-term GPU clusters signals a push for larger, more stable enterprise contracts. ## Why Work Here - **Culture & Impact**: DeepInfra operates at the core of the AI infrastructure boom. Employees get to work on hard performance engineering problems (every millisecond matters) that directly affect how AI products are built and scaled across the world. - **Engineering DNA**: The leadership previously built the backend infrastructure for imo messenger, a platform with 1 billion+ downloads.
