Job description

Mural is financial infrastructure for builders, their customers, and authorized agents: the compliant system of record fintechs and platforms build on to move, store, and grow money. The whole stack, one partner. Companies build cross-border financial products on us using our API. We carry the licenses, the compliance, and the failure states, so they go live in weeks instead of months. Under the hood, fiat and blockchain run as one system. Their customers never see any of it. Money comes in, money goes out, and it just gets there.
We've processed over $2 billion across US dollar, stablecoin, and international rails. That includes USDC and USDT on major blockchains, ACH and wire in the US, and local rails across Latin America and Europe (PIX, SPEI, Bre-B, CBU/CVU, SEPA). Customers include Deel, Bolt, Opera, Koywe, Taxdome, Uniswap, Movii, and more. We've successfully raised our Series A and we're an AI-native company. Agentic tools are how we build, operate, and scale.

The Role

You will be one of Mural's first product hires, reporting jointly to the COO and CTO. Leadership sets the vision. You form your own thesis, pressure-test ours, challenge it, then execute. You own the roadmap. You're accountable to metrics that map directly to revenue. You manage the partner and vendor relationships your pod depends on.

You'll have a dedicated pod of engineers, real autonomy, and the mandate to define what product means at Mural. The person who does this exceptionally well is positioned to lead the product function as it scales.

This is not a write-tickets-and-groom-backlogs role.

• You'll talk to customers constantly, weekly at minimum and often daily. Our deployment strategists will get you in the room. Staying in it is on you.

• You'll prototype your own ideas. Working demos, not decks.

• You'll work AI-natively. Agentic development is how this company operates. You should already build this way, and we'll ask you to show us.

• You'll contribute code. Our public API is core product surface, and our product leads are expected to read the codebase, prototype against it, and ship.

How you'll work

• Your pod. You plus at least two dedicated engineers, growing as the pod succeeds. You'll have direct input into pod engineering hires.

• With BD. BD owns the deal and you own the roadmap, including the no. Nothing gets committed to a customer pre-signature without product sign-off.

• With forward-deployed engineering. FDE engagements touching your pod require your approval, and their output must generalize into the platform.

• With leadership. Direction setting is a dialogue with the COO, CTO, and CEO, but you're expected to arrive with a thesis, not wait for one.

What we're looking for

• 4 to 10 years across engineering and product, including time as a professional software engineer. You've shipped production code. We'll flex on tenure for someone who built something exceptional and has the results to prove it.

• Payments and fintech infrastructure domain experience. Experience building new and novel products in the world of fintech, especially where tradfi meets blockchain.

• AI-native builder. You use agentic tools daily to prototype, analyze, and ship.

• Opinionated and visionary. You form a thesis about where the product should go, defend it against the founders, and change your mind on evidence.

• Customer-obsessed. Your instinct when uncertain is to go talk to five customers, not to schedule a meeting about it.

• Built for ambiguity. You'll create and own our product processes and product ops, inside a regulated, high-stakes domain.

People we expect to thrive here come from places like Stripe, BVNK, Airwallex, Modern Treasury, Unit, Bridge, Lithic, Column, Increase, Wise, Nium, dLocal, Bitso, Circle, and Coinbase, or founded fintech infrastructure companies themselves.

How We Work

We run on three principles:

• 2% better, every day. One percent for yourself, one percent for the people around you.

• Telos. From the Greek word telos, meaning not just done but fulfilled. Everyone here is focused on one mission and knows each other's Telos.

• Build. Embody the builder's mindset. Make things, solve problems, and have fun doing it.
