I'm one of those nutjobs who actually enjoys working with billing and payment. There's something soothing to writing software which has to be highly tested, well-written and handle lots of edge cases.

It's a sharp contrast to the day-to-day startup philosophy of "move fast and break things".

Exactly. The type of software for which it is easy to write automated unit tests and only the most clueless manager would not give you the time and resources to do so.
