Attributes We Value

We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.

You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.

About the Team

This team is building production AI that eliminates financial busywork for startups globally. We're delivering intelligent automation across payments, payroll, bookkeeping, and tax—freeing founders to focus on building their companies instead of managing finances.

We leverage cutting-edge AI tooling across the spectrum: from prompt engineering and in-context learning to fine-tuned models and agentic systems, choosing the right approach for each problem. We work backward from real founder pain points, own customer outcomes, and ship fast.

The team is small, elite, and builder-focused, led by operators with a track record of shipping AI products at scale. Backed by Airwallex's proven fintech infrastructure, global payments network, and distribution. You'll solve hard technical problems with real autonomy and direct customer impact

  • Invent a new product and user experience, from strategy and solution design to iteration, roadmaps and delivery plans

  • Collaborate closely with engineering, design, commercial teams and most of all our customers to go from zero to one, build something people want, achieve PMF, and scale from there

  • Inform product strategy and approach by deeply understanding the latest developments and trends, target markets, and competitive landscape
