About Sapiom

Build an agent and Sapiom runs everything it needs: infrastructure, capabilities, and cost, handled. Take agents from demo to production. Start free. Backed by Accel.

About the role

Agents are starting to buy things on their own, and the rails underneath all assume a person at the keyboard. Letting an agent complete a purchase inside limits its owner actually set, and keeping proof of what was agreed, is the company. The first version of that ships before you'd start. Almost everything that turns it into something customers can depend on is still ahead, and the team works those problems in parallel rather than one at a time. You'd own one of them.

About Sapiom

Sapiom is building payment infrastructure for AI agents. We enable agents to make purchases for people, manage payments between businesses, and buy the compute, inference, and APIs they need to operate.

Through one integration, Sapiom connects agents to funding sources and payment methods. Our intent verification checks that each transaction matches what the person or business authorized. Spending controls define where and how much agents can spend, with a record of every transaction and its outcome. We're building toward a world where people and businesses can delegate payments to agents with confidence.

We're a small team in San Francisco with deep experience in payments and infrastructure. Our founder was Director of Engineering in Payments at Shopify for five years. We've raised $50 million in our first 12 months from Accel, Dragonfly, Coinbase Ventures, Okta Ventures, Menlo Ventures and Anthropic.
