This role serves as an internal advocate for developers, improving documentation and APIs while fostering advocacy and reducing time-to-value for users. ## Job description ## About Sapiom Sapiom is the end-to-end platform that removes barriers to ship and scale agentic products. We unify what an agent needs to act in the world — compute and sandboxes, memory, identity, spend controls, storage and queues, monitoring — provisioned together as one thing, not handed over as a framework to assemble yourself. We have assembled a world-class team with deep infrastructure and payments DNA to build the operating system for machines. Our founder ran payments engineering at Shopify for five years and built an autonomous consumer agent company before that. We raised a $35M Series A led by Dragonfly in August, bringing us to $50M total. Accel led our seed; Menlo Ventures and Anthropic are also behind us. The models are the brain. We're the spine. ## About the Role As our Developer Relations, you'll sit at the intersection of community, product, and engineering — equal parts builder, communicator, and champion for the developers who use Sapiom. You'll cultivate authentic relationships across AI/ML and developer communities, producing content that helps developers understand agentic commerce and how to build with our platform, while serving as the internal voice of the developer — surfacing friction points, refining APIs, and being the loudest internal advocate for fixing what's broken. You'll design and build compelling demo agents and sandbox environments that go beyond marketing assets, and own the full developer journey from first discovery through production deployment — crafting onboarding flows, building enablement resources, and turning partner wins into case studies that inspire the next wave of builders. ## What you will do You'll build Sapiom's presence among AI agent builders and LLM developers — serving as the connective tissue between developers and our product team. The goal: a thriving cohort of developers who don't just leverage Sapiom, but build remarkable things with it publicly. ## Responsibilities - Ship products, tools, and content that developers actually adopt, drawing on firsthand experience as an engineer, DevRel, or technical founder to deeply understand and empathize with the developer experience. - Engage authentically with the builder community — whether debugging edge cases on Discord, hosting hackathons, or supporting developers wherever they need it most. - Communicate complex technical concepts clearly and simply across writing, stage presentations, and 1:1 conversations, producing documentation people read and content people share. - Stay at the forefront of AI and LLM development, actively experimenting with agentic applications and maintaining a deep understanding of why financial infrastructure for agents is a meaningful problem to solve. - Define and execute this function with autonomy — as an early hire, you'll shape what Developer Advocacy looks like at Sapiom as much as you'll deliver it. - Maintain a public builder presence through GitHub, a technical blog, conference talks, open-source contributions, or social media, bringing an existing community or the credibility to build one fast. - Synthesize developer feedback from across channels into clear, actionable product requirements that drive meaningful improvements to the Sapiom platform. ## Requirements - Proven experience with software products, tools, or developer-facing content, with a strong understanding of APIs, SDKs, and technical documentation best practices. - Hands-on experience with LLMs and agentic applications, with the ability to build production-quality demo agents and sandbox environments. - Comfortable across the developer toolchain — GitHub, SDKs, developer portals, and community platforms like Discord. - Exceptional communicator — able to distill complex concepts into clear, engaging content across writing, presentations, and 1:1 conversations. - Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity, thriving in early-stage environments where you define the function as much as execute it. - Genuine passion for developer communities with a public builder presence — open-source contributions, a technical blog, conference talks, or social media. - Strong synthesizer — able to take disparate developer feedback and translate it into clear, actionable insights for product and engineering teams. ## About Sapiom ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Sapiom builds the financial access layer that allows AI agents to securely purchase and use software, APIs, data, and compute through a single key, eliminating vendor accounts and billing relationships. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States - **Founded**: 2025 - **Founders**: Ilan Zerbib ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: AI infrastructure, Payments, API orchestration - **Target customers**: B2B – AI agent developers, vibe-coding platforms (e.g., Lovable, Bolt), and any company building autonomous agents that need to transact with external services. - **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build the access layer for the agentic economy" – create infrastructure that lets AI agents transact safely with the real economy. ## Products & Services - **Access Network**: The core execution engine.

Founder Ilan Zerbib previously Director of Engineering for Payments at Shopify. - **Growth Signals**: Team of ~8 employees (as of mid-2026) with 20+ open roles posted; strong backing from top-tier funds; early adoption by vibe-coding platforms; monthly headcount growth of +11.1% per LinkedIn. ## Competitive Advantages - **Zero-friction access**: A single API key replaces dozens of vendor accounts, credentials, and billing relationships – agents get immediate access to any paid service without manual setup. - **Metered, transparent pricing**: No subscriptions, no minimums – pay only for what agents actually execute. This aligns cost with usage and reduces overhead. - **Deep payments & infrastructure DNA**: Founder built Shopify’s payments infrastructure; team hails from Modern Treasury, Google, Shopify, and other high-scale fintech/infra companies. - **Protocol rather than catalog**: The Access Network allows agents to use any paid API on the internet without needing a pre-curated catalog – extensible by design. - **Backed by Anthropic**: Strategic investment from a leading AI lab ensures alignment with frontier agent capabilities. ## Strategic Focus - **Current priorities**: Scaling the Access Network to more B2B AI agent builders and vibe-coding platforms; hiring aggressively (20+ open roles) to expand engineering, product, marketing, and developer relations; building identity, policy, settlement, and risk layers for machine commerce. - **Direction for growth**: Become the default economic substrate for autonomous agents – moving from B2B to eventually enabling consumer AI agents to transact independently. ## Why Work Here - **Culture highlights**: Small, high-trust team; senior hires given context not orders; strong opinions weakly held; decisions made in writing; "high-intensity ownership" with meaningful founder-level equity. - **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: On-site in San Francisco, CA. Regular team offsites for deep work and relationship building. - **Notable perks**: - Top-tier health coverage (medical, dental, vision – fully covered for employees and dependents) - Learning budget (books, conferences, courses) - Best-in-class hardware (no budget approval delays) - Flexible time off (no vacation tracking; "own your recovery fully and effectively") - Mission-critical work at extreme velocity ## Sources 1.
