The AI agent harness for payment teams. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You'll join Carlos, Gus, and our founding engineers in San Francisco as one of our first hires. You'll work directly with the ops, risk, and compliance teams at our customers, figure out which of their workflows agents should own, and build those agents with them. Because our customers run real money through these workflows, you'll care as much about reliability, access controls, and audit trails as you do about speed. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Experience at a fintech, payments company, bank, or other financial institution, ideally close to payment flows, reconciliation, risk, or compliance
- Strong product and engineering background building production systems, with hands-on work on LLM agents and daily use of coding agents
- Comfort in front of customers, from an ops analyst to a COO and CFO, and turning a messy ops problem into a clean technical plan
- Comfort with ambiguity and moving fast on a small team
More about this role
Runtime (runtm.com) is the agent harness that payment companies, banks, and lenders use to run their operations with leaner teams. Their ops teams build agents that trace stuck payments, work fraud and compliance alerts, clear reconciliation breaks, and investigate escalations across support tools, codebases, and logs. We work with fast-growing fintech unicorns and payments companies that move hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Their teams use Runtime every day, and it's already mission-critical infrastructure for them.
We're AI engineers who've built payment and AI infrastructure at Fortune 500 scale, so we know the work our customers' underwriting, risk, and compliance teams do every day.
