About the Team
Even a simple configuration error can lead to significant unintended usage. At HighLevel, we aim to build robust systems that protect our customers and the platform from accidental surges and intentional abuse alike. This team creates the intelligent safeguards that ensure our automation remains safe and reliable for everyone.
We are looking for a Staff Engineer to architect the future of Trust, Controls & Safety. You will lead the technical direction of a real-time platform that secures critical workflows across HighLevel—including Signups, SaaS checkouts, User management, and global communication usage. This system processes 160M+ events and $4M+ in transactions daily, serving as the essential foundation for platform integrity.
The challenge is to build a highly available, low-latency control plane that balances strict enforcement with a seamless user experience. By integrating synchronous metering with asynchronous signal correlation, you will help us stay ahead of evolving fraud vectors while ensuring that legitimate business activities, from new user signups to complex SaaS billing cycles, proceed without friction.
As a Staff Engineer, you'll set the technical direction, own the hardest problems on the platform, mentor engineers across squads, and partner closely with EMs, PMs, Finance, Risk, Support and the channel teams. Getting this right means customers stop getting bills they didn't intend, and abuse stops being a cost the honest majority carries.
