Job description

About us:

Airtm is a financial-infrastructure company building the future of the online-work economy. We are on a mission to empower the world's growing number of Digital Entrepreneurs in the Global South, giving them the financial freedom to thrive.

The problem is clear: in emerging markets, accessing the dollar economy is difficult. Cross-border payments are slow, expensive, and often lose value to inflation. This limits the potential of millions of talented individuals.

Airtm's solution is a swift and comprehensive financial platform that facilitates low-value cross-border payments and local cash-outs. As pioneers in stablecoin-payment infrastructure, Airtm has built the most advanced cross-border payment system available on the market.

As a company married to the world of online work, Airtm will go beyond payments to build the necessary infrastructure the online-work economy needs to thrive. We are fostering an entirely new economy, giving individuals, communities, and countries the tools to take control of their financial destinies.

• Ability to read and comprehend frontend and backend code to assist in debugging and test creation.
• Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD tools and processes.
• Hands-on experience with AI agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or similar) and demonstrated ability to build, deploy, or thoroughly validate agent-assisted testing systems in a near-production context.
• Proactive and highly detail-oriented mindset.
• Advanced proficiency in the English language.

Applicants must be based in South, North or Central America (applications from other locations will not be considered).
