About Paywaz

Paywaz is an AI-native fintech building the world’s first zero-fee payments + stablecoin infrastructure for merchants, enterprises, and cross-border commerce.

Our ecosystem includes:

- Paywaz Zero-Fee Payments (POS, Ecommerce, Enterprise TaaS)
- PZ Coins — hedged stablecoin suite (PZUSD, PZGBP, PZEUR, PZXAU, etc.)
- Blockchain payroll + global workforce solutions
- AI-driven transaction scoring, PKYC/KYB
- Enterprise integrations (Enterprise-level partners)

We follow a Telegram-style model:

- Ultra-lean
- No bureaucracy
- No bloated teams
- Remote-first
- AI-assisted engineering (LLMs generate the bulk of code)
- Focused entirely on shipping, speed, and enterprise-grade execution

If you thrive in a “zero-fluff, get-shit-done” setting — this is for you.

About the Role

We’re looking for a U.S.-based Technical Lead who can rapidly ship code, own the technical stack, and integrate AI-generated bundles (via ChatGPT/LLMs) into production. This is a founding-level equity role, ideal for a senior full-stack engineer who wants autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to shape a global fintech infrastructure company. You will work directly with the CEO & Founder and be responsible for reviewing, refining, securing, and deploying full code bundles produced using LLMs.

- Own the full technical stack across multiple Paywaz products
- Integrate ChatGPT-generated code bundles into production environments
- Architect, deploy, maintain, and scale backend and frontend services
- Manage AWS, Cloudflare, Supabase/Postgres, and GitHub workflows
- Oversee all DevOps, CI/CD, infrastructure,



and security
- Work closely with the Founder on enterprise integrations (banks, airlines, payment networks)
- Build fast, iterate fast, and ship continuously
- Operate with high autonomy, urgency, and ownership
- Maintain integrity, transparency, and professional communication
- Build AI-first engineering workflows and deploy scalable systems

- Loves autonomy (no hand-holding)
- Is excited about AI-first engineering
