ABOUT INTERFACE.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.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- 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
