Aboutinterface.ai
Interface.ai is building the AI infrastructure for financial services - bringing agentic AI and conversational AI to the credit unions and community banks that serve everyday Americans. We're not a lab, we're not a demo company, and we're not burning runway on hypotheticals. We are in production, generating real revenue, and on a mission that actually matters: democratizing financial wellness for the millions of people who've never had a private banker.
A company with ~$30M in contracted ARR and already cash-flow positive, we're at the inflection point - proven product, paying customers, and a team ready to scale. The next chapter is building the engineering organization that can take us there.
The Role
You own the product-engineering half of the org - the member-facing, consumer, and product-surface domains where what we build is felt by real people (member-facing agents across voice and chat, the Nexus product surfaces, and the BankGPT consumer experience). You build and scale that org, hold quality while moving fast, and come out with a high-trust, AI-native culture. A player-coach role at the start: in the architecture discussions, code reviews, and late-Friday PRs, while building the org and running recruiting. The ideal candidate is a scaled founder or senior engineering leader deeply at home in fintech, consumer finance, or a neobank - someone who has shipped consumer products at scale.
Areas You Could Work On
Engineering org design & growth for the product-engineering domains - build a world-class team and the rituals that keep a fast team aligned.
Velocity & quality - processes, tooling, and culture to ship fast without momentum-killing tech debt.
- Consumer & member-facing product engineering - the agent library, money-movement and servicing flows, chat / conversion, and the consumer experience.
AI-native engineering culture - embed Claude Code, Cursor, and frontier models as standard.
Recruiting & talent brand for your half of the org; partner Bruce on architecture and Srinivas on product.
What We're Looking For
10+ years engineering; 4-6 in leadership at high-growth startups / scale-ups; scaled a team through a funding transition
Domain commonality (required): fintech / consumer finance / neobank or consumer-at-scale; conversational / CX software also relevant.
Preferred: ex-founder who scaled a consumer or fintech startup (strong preference, not a bar).
Still technical - reviews PRs, makes architecture calls, holds their own with a Staff / Chief Engineer.
Extreme AI fluency at the infra level; has built an AI-native engineering culture.
Production-scale TypeScript and/or Python; strong people leadership and product intuition. BS/BA in CS required; MS/PhD a plus

Whyinterface.ai
Series A · $30M raised · Cash-flow positive - we're not burning cash hoping the product works. It works. Customers are live, revenue is real, and the mission is one you can explain to your family without a slide deck.
You'll work directly with Bruce Kim (CTO / Co-Founder), who sets the technical bar and goes deep on the hardest problems, and Srinivas Njay (CEO), who is hands-on daily across product and engineering. Founding-team-tier equity, top-of-market base, comprehensive benefits, and a modern San Francisco office worth showing up to. The team is small enough that your judgment shapes everything, and the market is large enough that what you build will matter for a long time.
interface.ai is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
