The Company: Money should move at the speed of conversation. Not trapped behind forms and buttons, but flowing through voice and text as naturally as thought. From sending cash, to investing in the market, The Client is making money truly conversational. They believe the future of money is programmable, and the future of human-computer interaction is conversational and agentic. They are building the translation layer. Secure, reliable infrastructure that connects natural language to financial execution, and unlocks a new economy where every AI agent becomes a financial actor. Their founding engineering team has built core infrastructure at WorldCoin, the OP Stack, and the Ethereum Foundation. They understand what it takes to build global financial infrastructure that scales. They have proven this works with real users and now they are building the infrastructure to power every financial conversation.

- Comfortable working across the stack: Typescript, Node.js, APIs, databases, infra basic
Bonus Points
- You’ve built and launched your own project, tool, or startup
- Experience integrating APIs like Stripe, OpenAI, or blockchain protocols
- Hackathon wins, viral projects, or strong personal GitHub activity
