I'm writing to apply for the Senior Product Manager role on the Billing team. I've spent the last four years shipping infrastructure-shaped products at Cohere, and the Billing surface at Stripe is the exact shape of problem I'd like to spend the next chapter on.

At Cohere I led the team that ships our usage-based pricing platform — a system that decides, for every API request, what to charge, when to charge it, when to drop it on the floor for fairness, and how to surface the result to a finance team that wants line-item invoices without surprises. We took it from a four-person spreadsheet to an eight-engineer org powering $40M ARR; my contribution was holding the product spec coherent against pressure from sales, finance, partnerships, and our own SRE team.

Two things attract me about the Billing role specifically. The first is that you're solving the harder version of every problem I've worked on — orders of magnitude more traffic, more SKUs, more edge cases at the legal layer. The second is your team's writing — the docs and changelogs read like they were edited by people who actually use the product, which means the right people are in the room.

I'd love to talk about where I could help. Thank you for considering my application.
