Founding Product Manager - Agentic Commerce & AI Payments

Mesh; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 230,000 - 300,000; Full time

Job summary

Mesh is seeking a Founding PM for Agentic Commerce. AI agents will change how commerce and payments work. There is no product to ship yet; your job is to figure out how agents will buy, sell, and move money.

You will build with the emerging protocols, embed in the community, and run experiments on live payment rails with our SVP of Product to turn what you learn into where Mesh bets. This is a rare, hands-on role at a fast-moving startup.

Qualifications

• Experience: You have built something real without being told what to build ... a very early startup, a side project strangers actually used, an agent that can buy or book or trade.
• Builder: You can take an idea to a working prototype yourself ... code, APIs, and AI tools.
• Strong Opinions, Loosely Held: You form positions before you have full information, and you change them when the evidence turns.
• Domain: Crypto or payments experience is a plus, not a requirement.

Responsibilities

• Be the center of gravity for agentic commerce at Mesh. Every question about agents and money movement routes to you ... what's real, what's hype, what we test, what we ignore.
• Be the expert the company doesn't have yet. The protocols, the standards bodies, the model capabilities, the startups, the failures.
• Build the proof, hands-on. Working agents completing real transactions on live rails ... you write the code, wire up the protocols, and run the experiments.
• Represent Mesh at the frontier. Protocol working groups, hackathons, the rooms where standards get set.
• Make the case for what Mesh builds first. When a hypothesis survives, the work changes: write the case, size the bet, defend it with the SVP of Product.
