Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and ship core infrastructure and product systems for agentic payments across the full stack. Own end-to-end delivery from design to production while collaborating with the founding team on product direction.
Requires strong software engineering fundamentals, a high-agency ownership mindset, and proficiency with AI-native development tools. Candidates should be comfortable with ambiguity and have a bias toward shipping in a fast-paced startup environment.
About Sapiom
AI agents are beginning to act on behalf of companies and users — making purchases, spinning up compute, triggering workflows, and interacting with third-party systems. But today's financial infrastructure was built for humans, not autonomous systems. Companies and developers need a way to give agents controlled access, meter actions, monetize usage, and transact across rails, without rebuilding payments, risk, and compliance internally.
Sapiom builds the financial payments infrastructure for the machine economy - autonomous spend rails that enable AI agents to transact with real-world services safely, processing every dollar spent, every policy decision navigated, and every risk signal generated.
We have assembled a world-class team with deep payments and infrastructure 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 deploy the economic substrate for autonomous agents.
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.
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
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
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
The foundation of how agents interact with the real economy
The agentic economy is here, but it cannot progress until AI agents can autonomously access and operate across real-world systems and services. Sapiom gives AI agents trusted access to the API economy. We provide the essential infrastructure (KYA, wallets, spending and usage controls, and multi-rail payments) to unlock secure, programmatic commerce for the AI era. Built for the next era of commerce where agents buy, sell, and negotiate on our behalf. We're backed by world-class investors and are hiring exceptional engineers in SF to define the financial infrastructure for the agentic era. Learn more & join us: https://www.sapiom.ai
