Software Engineer at $15M Seed-stage infrastructure startup backed by Accel & Anthropic

Join the elite team building the financial infrastructure for the agentic economy. Backed by $15M from Accel, Anthropic, and Coinbase Ventures, this San Francisco-based startup is creating the essential KYA and payment rails that allow AI agents to autonomously transact in the real world. Founded by former Shopify Payments leadership, they are seeking bar-raising engineers from backgrounds like Stripe and Modern Treasury who are ready to build the missing layer of the API economy. If you want to define how money moves in the era of AGI, this is the ground-floor opportunity you’ve been looking for.

Overview

You will build the foundational financial layer for the agentic economy, creating KYA (Know Your Agent) protocols and multi-rail payment systems. As an early engineer, you will own entire systems end-to-end, defining how autonomous AI agents access the API economy and move money in a machine-to-machine world.
