We’re replacing decades-old legacy systems with AI-native technology that automates 90% of the manual work humans once had to do. ## **What you'll do:** - Partner directly with customers to translate critical business requirements into technical solutions, engaging with customer executives to architect software that addresses their most pressing challenges in banking - Drive high-stakes projects with CTO-level ownership, writing production-quality code while balancing multiple technical and business priorities across architecture, coding, and strategic planning - Architect and build end-to-end systems integrating AI models, backend APIs, and web applications while owning complete technical solutions from design through production deployment - Learn and drive engineering best practices ## **What you'll bring:** - A skillset at the intersection of software development, business strategy and customer engagement - 1-6+ years of experience in software engineering - Proven track record of translating complex technical concepts into clear business value propositions with measurable outcomes - Entrepreneurial mindset with experience driving initiatives from concept to execution - Solid understanding of modern programming languages and (AI) frameworks (e.g., React, TypeScript, Next.js, Python, LangChain, Vercel AI-SDK, etc.) - Strong problem-solving skills and a knack for innovative thinking - Excellent communication skills and a collaborative team spirit ## What you'll get: - **Impact & Ownership** : A unique opportunity to shape the future of banking through AI, owning end-to-end product initiatives. - **Collaborative Environment** : Work alongside a talented and passionate team that values continuous improvement and knowledge sharing. - **Competitive Compensation** : Includes salary, benefits, and potential equity in a fast-growing startup. - **Professional Growth** : Access to resources and mentorship to expand your skill set, influence strategy, and accelerate your career. - **Culture of Innovation** : We encourage risk-taking, learning from failures, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech. As an early-stage company building at the frontier of AI, we work with high intensity and commitment. While schedules can vary by role/team, many weeks will demand extra focus, flexibility and time particularly during major launches and high impact sprints. We're seeking those who are aligned to and able to commit to that expectation.
