  • Reply fast. A real answer in about 30 seconds is the standard.
  • Work with the AE and account team so the customer goes live cleanly

What We’re Looking For

  • Founder or ex-founder who built and integrated payments or marketplace infra
  • FDE, solutions engineer, or founding engineer background shipping with customers
  • Top-class engineer, fluent in APIs, automation, and integrations
  • Works in Cursor and Claude and can sit with a platform eng team without a translator
