Founding Engineer

KINETIC

What is PayMe PayMe helps everyday people find and claim money they are already owed, from class action settlements, mass arbitrations, unclaimed funds, and more. It is a fast-growing consumer fintech product where product quality, speed, trust, and execution all matter at once. What we need PayMe needs a founding engineer who can take vague goals, figure out what matters, and implement basically anything needed to move the business forward. This is a true full-stack builder role. We want someone with strong product judgment who can turn ambiguity into shipped product. Who you are Agentic engineer, meaning AI writes most code and you are genuinely more powerful because of it Consumer product or fintech instincts are a plus Fast-paced, high-agency experience, often in seed or series A environments Comfortable shipping without a fully written PRD Clear product taste and evidence of shipped work Strong individual contributor, not an engineering manager profile Why it's exciting You will join a very small engineering team and help shape its next chapter You will own meaningful product and engineering decisions early You will work on a real consumer product with real scale and real urgency You will work on a small team where good ideas ship fast What you own The highest-leverage product and engineering work across PayMe Turning fuzzy problems into concrete plans, technical choices, and shipped product Working shoulder-to-shoulder with product, growth, and design Using AI heavily, because almost all code here is expected to be written with AI assistance Helping set the engineering tone as one of the earliest dedicated engineers on PayMe What success looks like Important product work ships fast and actually changes outcomes Engineering is no longer a bottleneck on PayMe’s highest-leverage work The team can hand you vague goals and trust you to make strong product and technical decisions You raise the bar on speed, ownership, and leverage What you're not here to do Be a narrow specialist who avoids product work Wait for a perfect PRD before moving Optimize for process over output Act like a manager before proving you can build #J-18808-Ljbffr KINETIC
