Metronome is the leading usage-based billing platform built for modern software companies. With Metronome, companies can launch products faster, offer any pricing model, and streamline finance workflows without writing code.

Our platform computes millions of invoices per billing period and is scaling rapidly to accommodate new customers, saving them hours of development time and manual invoicing and enabling them to use consumption data to better serve their customers. Our customers love our product and approach, and we’re humbled to work with amazing companies like OpenAI, Databricks, NVIDIA, Confluent, and Anthropic.

You'll be joining an experienced team that includes founders who have successfully built and sold startups before. Our founders and employees also have direct experience building and scaling teams through massive growth at companies like Dropbox, Clever, and New Relic. On the back of this experience and our success-to-date, we’ve raised over $128M from leading investors including NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Elad Gil, and Workday Ventures. We’re also proud to have founders and executives of companies like Segment, Plaid, Looker, Gitlab, Confluent, HashiCorp, and Snowflake, as investors who have experienced the pain we're solving firsthand.

  • Own the full sales cycle: From cold outreach through discovery, technical validation, commercial negotiation, and close
  • Navigate complex stakeholder dynamics: Build consensus across technical founders, engineering teams, product managers, and finance leaders
  • Partner cross-functionally: Collaborate with Solutions Engineers, Customer Success, and Product teams to ensure successful deployments and feed field insights back into product development

  • Establish Metronome as the go-to billing infrastructure for AI-native companies
  • Create a scalable outbound motion that can be replicated across the sales organization
  • Generate meaningful revenue contribution while building long-term strategic relationships
  • Shape our understanding of AI company monetization patterns and product requirements
  • Influence product roadmap with direct customer insights from the field
Qualifications

  • Full-cycle sales ownership with demonstrated quota attainment and pipeline generation
  • MEDDICC methodology experience or similar structured qualification framework

  • Exceptional time management to thrive in unstructured, fast-paced environments while managing 50-100 accounts
