Create content (tutorials, blog posts, videos, talks) that helps developers understand agentic commerce and how to build with Sapiom. Represent us at conferences, meetups, and online forums. **Developer Experience:** Be the internal advocate for developers. Work closely with product and engineering to identify friction points, improve documentation, refine APIs, and ensure our SDK is a joy to use. You'll often be the first to experience what developers experience and the loudest voice for fixing what's broken. **Demos & Sandboxes:** Build compelling demo agents and sandbox environments that showcase what's possible with Sapiom. These aren't just marketing assets; they're tools that help developers understand patterns, test integrations, and accelerate their own builds. **Onboarding & Enablement:** Support developers from first discovery through production deployment. Create onboarding flows, office hours, and resources that reduce time-to-value. Help design partner developers succeed and turn their wins into case studies. **What Success Looks Like (6 Months)** **Community Hub: **You've established Sapiom's presence in key communities (AI agent builders, LLM application developers). Developers building agentic applications have heard of us and understand what we do. **Developers Advocacy:** Our documentation, SDKs, and sandbox environments are cited as best-in-class. Time from signup to first successful transaction has meaningfully decreased. Developer NPS is strong. A cohort of developers actively advocates for Sapiom, writing about us, recommending us, building interesting things and sharing them publicly. **Agent-Ready Standard:** You have audited and optimised our documentation and SDKs specifically for AI consumption (e.g., clear LLM-readable schemas, comprehensive .mdx guides), resulting in a measurable decrease in agent hallucinations when using our tool. **Magic Demo Library**: You've built 3-5 demo agents that clearly showcase Sapiom's capabilities across different use cases. These demos are used in sales conversations, conference talks, and self-serve exploration. **People Know You:** You've established yourself as the connective tissue between our developer community and our product team. Feature requests and pain points flow from developers to product; improvements flow back out with clear communication. **Who You Are** **You Ship:** Whether as an engineer, DevRel, or technical founder, you've shipped products, tools, or content that developers actually adopted. You understand the developer experience because you've lived it. **Community-First:** You genuinely enjoy helping people. Whether it’s debugging a niche edge case on Discord at 10 pm or hosting a hackathon, you thrive on the energy of the builder community. **Clear Communicator:** You can explain complex technical concepts simply – in writing, on stage, and in 1:1 conversations. You write documentation people actually read and create content people actually share. **Deeply AI Curious:** You're already experimenting with LLMs, building agentic applications, or at a minimum obsessively following the space. You understand why financial infrastructure for agents is a meaningful problem. **Ambiguity Navigator**: As an early hire at a seed-stage startup, you'll define this function as much as execute it. You thrive when given a goal and the autonomy to figure out how to achieve it. **Public Builder:** You have some combination of: an active GitHub, a technical blog, a Twitter/X presence, conference talks, or open-source contributions. Developers already know you, or they will soon. **Noise Synthesiser:** You can take 50 disparate pieces of feedback from a GitHub issue thread and distil them into a single, actionable product requirement. **Why Join Sapiom** Sapiom gives AI agents trusted access to the API economy. Every generational shift in commerce creates a new financial giant: In-person → Visa / Mastercard Internet → PayPal / Stripe / Adyen Agentic →? This is not incremental SaaS; it’s foundational infrastructure. We’re building the next Stripe for the machine economy. You’ll join a highly experienced team with deep DNA (Shopify, Google, Affirm) backed by top-tier investors (Accel, Gradient, Menlo, Anthropic). We operate with high standards and high support. You’re not joining as an employee, you’re joining as a founding architect. In ten years, you’ll be able to say: “I built the engine that powered the machine economy.” **Reporting** Reports to: CEO ## Responsibilities None ## Skills None ## Tags None ## Organization - Name: Sapiom - Website: https://www.sapiom.ai - Industry: Financial Services - Size: 2-10 employees - Founded Year: N/A - Description: The agentic economy is here, but it cannot progress until AI agents can autonomously access and operate across real-world systems and services.
