Senior Software Engineer

📋 Description

• • Build robust applications, APIs, and SDKs that enable secure communication, collaboration, and transactions between AI agents and users as part of the Agent Commerce Kit (ACK).
• • Develop core product experiences including cryptographic identity management, payment workflows, and transaction processing systems within the ACK framework.
• • Engineer end-to-end financial systems specifically designed for AI agents, ensuring secure, reliable, and efficient financial interactions without human intervention.
• • Design and implement identity and reputation tools that allow AI agents to establish digital identities, discover trusted peers, and manage reputations autonomously.
• • Contribute to scalable backend infrastructure and high-performance APIs that support rapid, secure coordination among decentralized AI agents across global networks.
• • Ship production-quality software from initial concept through deployment, delivering complex systems that directly impact the core product and define the future of agent-driven commerce.
• • Work in a highly collaborative environment with engineers, data scientists, and finance professionals to solve novel technical challenges at the intersection of AI and financial services.
• • Ensure all systems are performant, reliable, and secure, with attention to both backend architecture and polished, intuitive user experiences for human and agent interfaces.
• • Operate independently in ambiguous environments to design and implement technical solutions from the ground up, prioritizing reliability and scalability.
• • Leverage AI tools in your daily workflow to increase productivity and streamline development processes across the engineering lifecycle.
• • Contribute to the evolution of a new financial infrastructure that enables AI systems to identify themselves, use money safely, and conduct commerce within a licensed, compliant framework.
• • Collaborate on building the foundational tools for an agentic economy, where autonomous agents transact with trust, transparency, and programmable financial rules.
• • Participate in shaping the technical direction of Catena’s platform, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and industry standards for financial services.
• • Translate complex financial and AI concepts into clear, implementable engineering solutions that bridge the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world deployment.
• • Maintain a strong focus on security, compliance, and resilience when designing systems that handle financial data and transactions for autonomous entities.
• • Iterate rapidly based on feedback from internal stakeholders and early adopters to refine product experiences for both AI agents and their human operators.
