Apply to this jobAbout Sapiom
Sapiom is the end-to-end platform that removes barriers to ship and scale agentic products.
We unify everything an agent needs to act in the world: compute and sandboxes, memory, identity, domains and DNS, spend controls, browser automation, web search and deep research, databases, storage, queues, messaging, image generation, voice, enrichment, verification, and monitoring provisioned together as one thing, not handed over as a framework for builders to assemble themselves. Pricing is just as simple: a plan, a generous free tier, pay for what you use when you use it.
We have assembled a world-class team with deep infrastructure and payments DNA to build the operating system for machines. Backed by a $15.75M investment from Accel, Menlo, and Anthropic, we are moving with relentless focus to allow builders to ship and scale agentic products.
About the Role
This is a high-autonomy engineering role at the intersection of AI and financial infrastructure. You'll design and ship core systems for agentic payments end-to-end, working across the full stack — backend, integrations, platform, and beyond. You'll operate as a true owner, making real technical tradeoffs and shaping product direction alongside the founding team, with AI tools embedded throughout the workflow.
What you will do
You'll build core infrastructure and product systems for agentic payments, designing and shipping new capabilities from the ground up. The work spans backend, integrations, platform, and internal systems — moving wherever the problem is. You'll operate with high autonomy, make strong technical trade-offs, and help scale systems to improve reliability and performance, all while partnering closely with the founding team on product and engineering direction. AI tools are a first-class part of the workflow here.
Responsibilities
Own end-to-end delivery of systems — from design to production — with minimal direction
Make pragmatic architectural decisions in ambiguous, fast-moving contexts
Move across the stack as priorities shift, without waiting for perfect structure
Contribute to product and engineering direction alongside the founding team
Scale systems thoughtfully for reliability, performance, and operational speed
Requirements
Strong software engineering fundamentals and coding ability
High agency and strong product/ownership mindset
Systems thinker who can work through ambiguity
Comfortable moving across different parts of the stack
Bias toward shipping and making pragmatic decisions
Actively uses AI-native development tools in their workflow
Excited by fast-moving, high-intensity startup environments
Nice to have
Experience at high-growth startups
Experience building infrastructure, platform, or developer tools
Familiarity with AI/ML systems, inference, or agent workflows
Experience with payments, APIs, or distributed systems
Experience in highly autonomous engineering teams
Summary
Build core AI and payment systems, operate autonomously across the tech stack.
