Truss is a banking and payments network for blue-collar trades. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Tell us about something you shipped that would have taken you much longer without AI. What did you hand off? What did you check yourself? Where did you have to step in? We're hiring an engineer who can take a messy problem, figure out what matters, and ship a solution they're willing to own in production. You'll work directly with the founders on a payments platform, from the React screen a customer uses to the Django service that moves their money. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You've owned production software. You can point to something you took from an unclear problem to a release and explain what happened after it shipped
- You know where to slow down. You can ship a small UI improvement quickly and give a payment flow the extra scrutiny it needs
- You work well with a small team. You make progress with incomplete information, surface blockers early, and communicate decisions clearly in writing

We're a small team, and AI is how we ship like a bigger one. We build in Cursor and coordinate in Linear. We use AI to investigate unfamiliar code, prototype, write tests, and review changes. We care about how much you can deliver with it and how you know the result is right. On a money-moving path, that might mean tracing what happens when a request is retried, checking whether a customer could be charged twice, and making sure we can tell what happened in production.
- Take a customer problem from a rough brief through scoping, implementation, testing, deployment, and follow-up.
- Build across React, TypeScript, Django, and Postgres. Work directly with payment processors, banking APIs, and financial data providers.
- Use AI every day...
