Fullstack Software Engineer - AI Native

Breeze • New York, NY

3h • Hybrid

About The Position

Are you excited about building products at the intersection of fintech and AI? We’re looking for an AI-native Fullstack Engineer to join Breeze, a Sequoia-backed startup building the universal payment layer to unify all currencies — fiat and crypto — so businesses and consumers can transact seamlessly.
In this role, you’ll work across the stack to design, build, and ship AI-powered, product-facing experiences end to end. You’ll partner closely with Product, Design, and Operations to turn complex financial workflows into intuitive, intelligent systems. This is a hands-on, product-centric role where engineering decisions — including how we apply AI — directly shape what our customers use every day.
This position is hybrid in NYC, with regular in-office collaboration. This hire will be one of our first NYC-based engineers.

Requirements

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in fintech, startups, or other product-driven environments.
• Strong experience building product-driven, user-facing applications.
• Solid fullstack experience with React.js, Node.js, and TypeScript (or similar modern frameworks).
• Demonstrated experience building with AI-native tools or models (e.g., LLM APIs, embeddings, agents, prompt-driven workflows, model orchestration).
• Curiosity and fluency with modern AI trends, tools, and platforms — you actively experiment and stay current.
• Product mindset — you care deeply about usability, customer experience, and business impact.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to own features from concept to launch.
• Excellent communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with non-engineering partners.
• Familiarity with building scalable, reliable systems and modern web architectures.
• 2+ years of relevant software engineering experience.
• Proficiency in modern fullstack development (React.js, Node.js, TypeScript).
• Hands-on experience building or integrating AI-powered features into production products.
• Strong product sensibility and experience building customer-facing features.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
• Work Authorization in the US - We are not supporting Visa sponsorship or transfers at this time.

Nice To Haves

• experience applying AI in regulated environments (fintech, payments, risk, compliance) or working with financial APIs.

Responsibilities

• Build and scale user-facing fintech products that leverage AI as a core capability, not an afterthought.
• Own features end-to-end — from technical design and implementation to iteration based on user and model feedback.
• Develop in a fullstack environment using React.js and TypeScript on the frontend, and Node.js and TypeScript on the backend.
• Design and integrate AI-driven workflows (e.g., intelligent automation, decision support, agentic flows, or LLM-powered features).
• Partner closely with Product and Design to shape product requirements, UX decisions, and AI-driven interactions.
• Stay up to date with emerging AI technologies, tools, and best practices, and apply them pragmatically to real product problems.
• Design systems that are secure, scalable, and performant in a payments and financial context.
• Collaborate with Risk, Compliance, and Operations teams to ensure AI-powered workflows meet regulatory and operational needs.
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders and contribute to product planning and prioritization.
• Thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where speed, ownership, and quality all matter.

• Competitive salary + equity plan
• 21 days PTO
• Benefits: annual medical allowance, productivity budget, gym membership & wellness subsidy
• Annual team retreat trip
• Hybrid work environment in NYC
• Be part of a team backed by Sequoia Capital with a strong runway
