Product Engineer, Agentic Workflows

Product Engineer

Pockyt is building the AI-native infrastructure for global money movement. We give merchants a single platform to accept payments from anywhere, send money globally, and manage funds through Global Virtual Accounts and stable coins — but our ambition runs deeper than the rails themselves. We're architecting the connective tissue that lets capital move across borders the way information moves across the internet: instantly, intelligently, and autonomously.

Our mission is to make global commerce frictionless. We're not building another payments platform. We're building the operating system for how value moves in an agentic, borderless economy.

We're looking for a Product Engineer who treats automation as a craft. You'll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations — embedded with our executives, ops leads, and merchants to find friction and replace it with software. One week you might be building an internal agent that reconciles multi-currency settlements; the next, you're shipping a merchant-facing workflow that turns a 20-step compliance process into a single click.

This isn't a role with a tidy backlog. You'll spot the problem, scope it, prototype it, ship it, and measure it. You'll use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex) as a force multiplier — building things in days that used to take quarters. You'll report to our Head of Product and work directly with our executives and cross-functional leads. This is a great fit for someone genuinely ambitious, who learns fast and wants to ship the kind of work that gets pointed at in all-hands.

Embed with internal teams (ops, finance, compliance, GTM, support) to identify high-leverage workflows, then design and ship the automation end-to-end

Build internal tools, agents, and integrations that eliminate manual work — reconciliation, KYC review queues, merchant onboarding triage, ticket routing, reporting pipelines

Prototype and ship merchant-facing automation features, partnering with our core engineering team on integration and rollout

Use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) and LLM APIs to accelerate development — from spec to working prototype in hours, not weeks

Define success metrics for every automation you ship — hours saved, errors reduced, time-to-resolution — and own the outcome

Translate ambiguous executive asks ("we're losing too many hours to X") into shipped product

Partner with engineering, product, and design to upstream successful internal prototypes into core product features

A track record of shipping — side projects, internal tools, automations, hackathon wins, prior production work; whatever shows you can take something from idea to running code without hand-holding

Strong AI fluency — you reach for Claude, Cursor, Codex, or similar daily and have opinions about when each one helps

Full-stack comfort — you can move across frontend, backend, and basic data plumbing (Type Script, Python, or similar). Depth in one area is fine; rigidity in only one is not

A grinder mindset — you take ownership, follow up, close loops, and don't wait to be told what's next

Excellent written and verbal communication — you'll be presenting work to executives regularly and writing specs for stakeholders who aren't engineers

Curiosity about how the business actually runs — you want to understand the operational reality, not just the ticket

Comfort with ambiguity and a willingness to be wrong fast

Experience building with LLM APIs, agent frameworks, or eval tooling (Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Inngest, Temporal, browser automation, etc.)

Prior exposure to fintech, cross-border payments, digital wallets, or merchant acquiring

Familiarity with Reg Tech, compliance automation, or financial reconciliation workflows

Experience as an early hire at a fast-moving startup, or as the "automation person" inside a larger team

Background in forward-deployed, solutions, or applied engineering at an AI-native company

Build at the frontier of AI + payments at a company shipping for both enterprise platforms and the next generation of AI-native merchants

Real ownership and direct work with senior leadership from day one

A clear path to grow into senior engineering or product leadership as the surface area expands

Competitive compensation, employer-paid health insurance, 401(k) match, and unlimited PTO

Quarterly bonus pay-outs of up to 20% your base salary

Potential for company stock options

This is a hybrid role, four-days in our office in the Financial District. No relocation services or visa sponsorship are available for this role.
