The role involves owning the full acquisition and retention loop, driving demand generation, content strategy, and developer community engagement for AI agent financial infrastructure. ## 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 This is a rare opportunity to build the growth engine for a category-defining infrastructure company — from scratch, at the moment it matters most. The ideal candidate is a sharp, execution-oriented marketer who’s fluent in both developer audiences and performance channels, and who thrives when the playbook doesn’t exist yet. You’ll own the full acquisition and retention loop — from first impression to activated user — partnering closely with the Head of Marketing to define how Sapiom shows up in the world. ## What You Will Do You’ll drive Sapiom’s growth across every channel that matters — demand gen, content, SEO, and developer community — building the systems and campaigns that move developers and enterprise buyers from awareness to activation. You’ll own the editorial and content strategy that establishes Sapiom’s voice in the agentic AI conversation, while running paid programs with the rigor and creativity to compound over time. You’ll work in close partnership with the Head of Marketing and collaborate across product and engineering to turn platform milestones into growth moments. The goal: a predictable, scalable pipeline built on a foundation of genuine developer trust and category authority. ## Responsibilities - Own demand generation — build and run multi-channel campaigns across paid, organic, and community that drive qualified pipeline and measurable activation. - Define and ship the content and SEO strategy — producing technical and thought-leadership content that earns distribution and establishes Sapiom as the authoritative voice on AI agent infrastructure. - Build and grow Sapiom’s presence in developer and AI/ML communities — engaging authentically across forums, events, and platforms where builders spend time. - Partner with product and engineering to turn launches and milestones into growth moments — owning go-to-market execution for new features and integrations. - Establish the metrics and reporting infrastructure for marketing — defining what good looks like across acquisition, activation, and retention, and holding the function accountable to it. ## Requirements - Demonstrated track record growing developer-facing or API-first products — with a genuine understanding of how technical buyers discover, evaluate, and adopt infrastructure tools. - Hands-on experience running demand gen and paid acquisition programs with measurable results — not just oversight, but direct ownership of strategy, spend, and iteration. - Strong content and SEO instincts — able to build an editorial calendar, write or direct compelling technical content, and understand how to earn organic distribution in a technical niche. - Experience building community or developer presence — whether through events, Discord, social, or co-marketing with ecosystem partners. - Early-stage startup experience — comfortable operating without established systems, defining the function as much as executing it. - Fintech, payments, or developer tools background — meaningful context for the infrastructure layer Sapiom is building and the audiences it serves. - Data-driven operator — able to instrument campaigns, read the numbers clearly, and translate findings into fast iteration cycles. ## 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. One API key replaces every vendor account, credential, and billing relationship. Services are metered per use (no subscriptions or minimums). Capabilities include: - **User Authentication**: Agents verify users via SMS, OTP, transactional messaging – billed per verification. - **LLM Inference**: Access 400+ language models from leading providers with automatic provider selection – billed per token. - **AI Search**: Live web and structured data queries with real-time results and source citations – billed per query. - **Voice and Audio**: Generate speech, transcribe audio, create sound effects – billed per minute. - **Image Generation**: Create images from text prompts – billed per generation. - **Video**: Generate, transform, and subtitle video content – billed per generation. - **Web Extraction**: Browse, scrape, and interact with websites – billed per session. - **Compute**: Run code in serverless containers – billed per execution. - **Messaging**: Publish messages, manage queues, schedule tasks – billed per message. - **Databases**: Provision Redis, vector, search, Postgres databases – billed per operation. - **Filesystem**: Store, organize, and serve files autonomously – billed per operation. - **Integration Options**: MCP (zero-code), Skills (one command), SDK (full control). ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric (Private)**: Total funding raised – $15.75 million (Seed round, led by Accel, closed February 2026) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Accel (lead), Okta Ventures, Gradient Ventures, Array Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Anthropic, Coinbase Ventures. 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.
