Digital purchases are a $1.5T market. In the next five years, most of that volume will be driven by AI agents. We're building the payments infrastructure for that shift.
Right now there's no good way for an AI to make a purchase. People paste card numbers into chat windows, create virtual cards with arbitrary limits, or just stop and do it themselves. We're building the right layer: set a limit, lock it to a merchant, your AI handles the rest.
The app is live and people are using it. You'd be joining as the first engineer on the team — the person who helps define how we build from here.
You'll work directly with me. No layers, no process.
You've shipped things and can show them. You have a bias to action and care deeply about the customer experience, not just whether the code works. You're familiar with AI tools and excited about where they're going. You're comfortable when things are unclear because they usually are at this stage.
Payments or fintech experience is a plus, not a requirement.
We'll start part-time or contract to make sure it's a good fit. If it clicks, we'll talk about a founding engineer role after fundraising.
SF or NYC preferred.
