Founding Engineer
Resfi AI — an AI-native neobank · pre-seed · founded in 2025
About the role
Resfi AI is building the first truly agentic neobank: a customer advocate that doesn't just advise but implements the advice automatically, helping consumers pay down debt faster and optimize their cash flow with AI and behavioral finance. The founder, Asheet Mehta, was previously a Senior Partner at McKinsey and Co-Head of its Global Financial Services Practice.
This is the first technical hire, at a pre-product company: you'll build the AI-native neobank from the ground up and own the architecture, the stack and every technical decision as the company goes from prototype to MVP launch. They want strong 0-to-1 experience, a preference for fintech or regulated domains and the ability to ship production systems that handle real money movement. There's a clear path to technical leadership as the team grows.
Hybrid in New York. The culture is built on mutual growth, direct feedback, a bias for action and a customer-first approach.
What you will own
- Build the MVP end to end: web app, mobile app and the backend systems behind them, from secure AI-native infrastructure to money movement
- Integrate fintech vendor technologies (BaaS partners, payment rails, KYC/AML) into the core banking, card and lending infrastructure
- Design the architecture and data stack for an agentic financial services platform, including cloud, data resilience and system design decisions
- Build agentic workflows that plug into real money decisions safely, with deterministic, auditable logic and compliance guardrails
- Set the technical standards future engineers will build on, while working with contract engineers
