Senior AI Product Engineer
A new kind of role at Pago
Come join us and build Pago for the AI age.
We already have builders here who work AI-first, shipping improvements, new features, and
partner integrations end to end. Join us as a senior member of that team. You will drive real
work from first idea to live in the app, using the tools, skills, and AI agents we build
together, and help build some of them too. We want to learn from you as much as you grow with us.
Apply See how it works
Build it Process, fully visible Idea to live, you drive it
Your loop
Idea your first idea
Build with the team's agents and tools
Live live in the app
What you'd own
Real autonomy, made concrete.
Four things land on your plate from day one. No layers between you and the work.
Idea to production, by you
Own the whole arc, from first idea to live in the app. The outcome is yours, not a slice of it.
Build with our agents and tools
Orchestrate the skills, agents and tools the team builds. You don't hand-code everything.
Build the system too
Help create the tools, processes and skills the team builds with, not just the features.
Raise the bar with us
Join a team that already ships, and push what good looks like even further, together.
Who we are
A small team that ships.
Pago is the app Romanians use to manage and pay their household bills, without the usual friction.
We are small, flat, and talent-dense. Truth-seeking. We argue in good faith, chase strange
ideas, and ship. The work demands our best, and that is the point.
Flat by design Work directly with founders, design, and engineering.
Talent-dense A team you learn from, not one you carry.
Ships fast Tight loops from idea to live, every week.
Spirited debate Strong opinions, held in good faith.
How hiring works
Six steps, fully in the open.
No black boxes. You always know where you stand and what comes next. The take-home is the heart of it.

Who thrives here
Built for builders.
If most of the left column sounds like you, we want to talk. The right column helps, but none
of it is a hard gate.
You might be the one if
- You've built a B2C product real people relied on, and you can show it.
- You build with AI as a real edge, not a gimmick, and you have opinions about how.
- You turn ambiguity into shipped things without waiting for a perfect brief.
- You take real ownership, end to end.
What helps
- Fintech, payments, or consumer-app experience.
- Founder time, especially product-led.
- Public proof from the last 12 months: shipped projects, repos, experiments, anything real.

Show us what you've shipped.
No cover letter. We care more about what you've built than where you've worked. The next
screen takes you to our application - you'll share a few links to your best work, a short note
on how AI did the heavy lifting, and one sharp question to go deep on.
We read every single one.Your links and your work, not a resume parser.A quick call comes next, then the build.
