Responsibilities
- Build end-to-end demos and developer experiences showcasing Lightning payments, L402-gated APIs, Taproot Assets, and agentic workflows.
- Automate and augment internal workflows by building tools, scripts, MCP servers, and integrations for engineering, product, business development, and marketing teams.
- Ship production features across Terminal Web, LND, and new products, choosing prototypes when appropriate.
- Work autonomously across projects and teams, identifying high-impact opportunities and maintaining quality while context-switching.
Requirements
- Demonstrated ability to build and ship production-quality software through a portfolio, GitHub profile, or projects.
- Daily experience using AI-native development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar.
- Comfort working across TypeScript, React, Go, Python, and other technologies as needed; Go experience is a plus.
- Strong product instincts and ability to translate between technical and non-technical contexts.
- Familiarity with agentic AI patterns including tool use, MCP, multi-step workflows, and integrating LLMs into real systems.
- Self-directed execution in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with a track record of delivering.
- Understanding of Bitcoin, the Lightning Network, L402, or Taproot Assets is helpful but not required.
- Experience building developer-facing demos, sample applications, or technical content is helpful.
- Open-source contributions and experience at a small, high-growth company are helpful.
