About Sapiom
Sapiom is payment infrastructure for AI companies and agents. One integration lets an agent pay on behalf of a person or a business, with permissions, protected card credentials, and spending rules built in.
Agents can think now, and increasingly they can act. What they can’t do is spend. The rails underneath assume a person at the keyboard, so teams fall back on closed catalogs, cards and API keys pasted into config, or a human approving every purchase. We’re removing that constraint. A customer connects a card and grants a named agent permission without leaving your product. They set the limits — per purchase, per merchant, approval required or not. The agent buys inside those limits across browser checkout, payment protocols, and APIs. Card details never enter the conversation, and every purchase leaves a record from approval through merchant confirmation.
The work spans the whole path a purchase takes: connecting a customer and their agent, vaulting the card, establishing agent identity, enforcing the rules, moving the payment, and making the outcome legible afterward. Card issuing, voice-initiated payments, payment recovery, and insurance are all part of where this goes.
We have assembled a team with deep infrastructure and payments DNA. Our founder ran payments engineering at Shopify for five years and built an autonomous consumer agent company before that. We raised a $35M Series A led by Dragonfly in August, bringing us to $50M total. Accel led our seed; Menlo Ventures and Anthropic are also behind us.
About the Role
As our Developer Relations, you'll sit at the intersection of community, product, and engineering — equal parts builder, communicator, and champion for the developers who use Sapiom. You'll cultivate authentic relationships across AI/ML and developer communities, producing content that helps developers understand agentic commerce and how to build with our platform, while serving as the internal voice of the developer — surfacing friction points, refining APIs, and being the loudest internal advocate for fixing what's broken. You'll design and build compelling demo agents and sandbox environments that go beyond marketing assets, and own the full developer journey from first discovery through production deployment — crafting onboarding flows, building enablement resources, and turning partner wins into case studies that inspire the next wave of builders.
What you will do
You'll build Sapiom's presence among AI agent builders and LLM developers — serving as the connective tissue between developers and our product team. The goal: a thriving cohort of developers who don't just leverage Sapiom, but build remarkable things with it publicly.
Responsibilities
Ship products, tools, and content that developers actually adopt, drawing on firsthand experience as an engineer, DevRel, or technical founder to deeply understand and empathize with the developer experience.
Engage authentically with the builder community — whether debugging edge cases on Discord, hosting hackathons, or supporting developers wherever they need it most.
Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and simply across writing, stage presentations, and 1:1 conversations, producing documentation people read and content people share.
Stay at the forefront of AI and LLM development, actively experimenting with agentic applications and maintaining a deep understanding of why financial infrastructure for agents is a meaningful problem to solve.
Define and execute this function with autonomy — as an early hire, you'll shape what Developer Advocacy looks like at Sapiom as much as you'll deliver it.
Maintain a public builder presence through GitHub, a technical blog, conference talks, open-source contributions, or social media, bringing an existing community or the credibility to build one fast.
Synthesize developer feedback from across channels into clear, actionable product requirements that drive meaningful improvements to the Sapiom platform.
Requirements
Proven experience with software products, tools, or developer-facing content, with a strong understanding of APIs, SDKs, and technical documentation best practices.
Hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic applications, with the ability to build production-quality demo agents and sandbox environments.
Comfortable across the developer toolchain — GitHub, SDKs, developer portals, and community platforms like Discord.
Exceptional communicator — able to distill complex concepts into clear, engaging content across writing, presentations, and 1:1 conversations.
Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity, thriving in early-stage environments where you define the function as much as execute it.
Genuine passion for developer communities with a public builder presence — open-source contributions, a technical blog, conference talks, or social media.
Strong synthesizer — able to take disparate developer feedback and translate it into clear, actionable insights for product and engineering teams.
