Vice President of Engineering
Shape the future of AI-powered financial infrastructure
This role is responsible for leading and scaling the building of Pax8's financial technology platform, which is the mission-critical infrastructure that powers every financial transaction on thePax8 marketplace across multiple lines of business for SaaS, AI, and agentic / digital labor. This platform must deliver predictable, automated, and reconciled daily financial processing and monthly billing cycles for $xxB GTV, upholding global public enterprise standards for audit, compliance, and financial data integrity from GAAP/IFRS and SOX to PCI DSS and e-invoicing — while never constraining Pax8's startup velocity.
They will lead engineering for extensible platform capabilities, such as usage, billing, reconciliation, and settlement; SaaS, AI, and digital labor fulfillment; configuration, pricing, and subscription management; and AI token monetization, supply-demand optimization, rate management, balance accounting, and financial settlement. These systems are denominated in both global currencies and AI tokens, serving both the SaaS and AI / agentic economies.
They will partner with leaders across Pax8 functions, especially with Finance and Operations teams, to ensure smooth execution for all financial processes. They care for the technical, cultural, and human aspects of building, growing, and strengthening this mission-critical financial infrastructure.
What makes you a great fit
At least fifteen (15) years of software engineering or related experience, including five (5) or more years in a VP or equivalent senior engineering leadership role, with substantial depth in financial systems, billing platforms, or commerce infrastructure
Experience working in AI-native product and engineering organizations across the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) and product lifecycle (PLC), including AI-assisted engineering, spec-driven development (SDD), and end-to-end agentic team delivery. Proficient at defining engineering best practices, context, memory patterns, quality gates, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) verification checkpoints appropriate for AI-assisted and agentic workflows operating on mission-critical financial systems
Proven history of delivering large-scale, mission-critical financial platform capabilities that drive measurable business outcomes, including billing accuracy, reconciliation, settlement reliability, and customer revenue
Experience leading complex cross-functional initiatives supported by financial and engineering metrics, including SOX-compliant audit trails, ASC 606 revenue recognition, and PCI DSS scope management. Prior experience satisfying global public company compliance obligations is strongly preferred
Deep expertise in EDA / event-sourced / CQRS architectures, including: designing immutable event stores, projection systems, idempotency guarantees, and time-travel query capabilities at platform scale
Strong command of financial systems design including double-entry accounting models, ledger architecture, billing engine, and third-party integrations
Experience with subscription lifecycle management including plan versioning, usage-based and dimensional pricing, metered billing, mid-cycle amendments, and promotional mechanics such as coupons and credit grants
Experience with AI token commerce, including token issuance and exchange rate management, consumption tracking against token balances, and the financial settlement of AI inference costs at marketplace scale
Expertise in API architecture for financial platforms spanning event-driven messaging, REST, GraphQL, and developer ecosystem enablement across billing, commerce configuration, and AI monetization domains
Deep understanding and commitment to software engineering practices/processes (e.g., Lean, Agile, DevOps, CI/CD, TDD, XP) and continuous improvement through measurement
Ability to create new and better ways for the organization to be successful
Ability to build strong partner and stakeholder relationships, translating external needs and commercial priorities into platform decisions
Ability to consistently achieve results, even under tough circumstances
Ability to paint a compelling picture of the vision and strategy that motivates others to action
Ability to gain the confidence and trust of others through honesty, integrity, and authenticity
Excellent communication skills for both horizontal and vertical organizational lines
Strong executive presence and highly influential with stakeholders.
Proven track record of creating a positive culture focused on execution and delivering financial platform software that exceeds partner expectations
