BlinkSky Careers

We're digitizing the gift card industry — with an AI-native company.

We're rebuilding the decades-old gift card industry as instant, intelligent, digital-first payments. It takes a new kind of team: agents do the repeatable work, and the humans we hire build agents, supervise them, and own our high-level human relationships.

Roles and Responsibilities

Opportunities

24 roles

Executive

Chief AI Officer

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own agent strategy and governance end to end — what we build agents for, how they're permissioned and audited, and when they escalate to a human.

  • Publish the agent governance framework: identity, permission scopes, immutable audit, escalation and kill-switch
  • Set the agent-readiness bar every agent must clear before it touches production
  • Own the sequenced agent roadmap — and kill work that doesn't need a human team
  • Own go/no-go for the first production sales agent's first live transaction

Why it matters Agents can't set their own governance or answer to a regulator. This seat defines the rules of the system and is accountable for them — the one job that can't be delegated to the thing it governs.

Agent Platform

Agent Platform Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own the shared agent runtime every BlinkSky agent runs on: identity, scoped permissions, immutable audit logging, escalation routing and the eval-harness framework.

  • Ship the v1 runtime: agent identity, narrow permissions, and immutable, replayable audit logging in production
  • Make escalation routing real — a policy boundary hands off to a human queue with full context
  • Land the sales agent as the platform's first tenant, through to first live transaction
  • Hire and ramp the platform engineering team

Why it matters Someone has to build the harness before agents can run in it. This is the highest-leverage seat in Wave 1 — every future agent is cheaper and safer because of what this person builds.

Apply now
Agent Platform

Agent Platform Engineer

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Build and harden a runtime pillar — identity/permissions, the audit-log pipeline, escalation routing, or eval-harness tooling — to production quality under real money.

  • Own one runtime pillar outright and ship it tested, observable and documented
  • Ship the SDK other engineers use to onboard an agent onto your pillar
  • Close the loop with the sales agent as first real consumer of your pillar

Why it matters The platform is the leverage, and humans build leverage. Until the harness exists, agents can't safely build the harness.

Core Payments

Core Payments Engineer, Issuance

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Build the card and gift-card issuance primitives agents call — idempotent, limited and safe enough to hand to an agent.

  • Build an agent-callable issuance flow with idempotency, limits and audit hooks
  • Wire issuance events into the platform's immutable audit log
  • Design APIs meant to be driven by an agent, not just a human client

Why it matters Correctness under money is a build problem, not a repeatable one. Someone has to design issuance flows that are safe to hand an agent; once built, agents operate them.

Apply now
Core Payments

Core Payments Engineer, Settlement Rails

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Build the settlement and reconciliation rails agents operate at scale — exactly-once, auditable and safe.

  • Build settlement and reconciliation that flags a break before a human would
  • Route reconciliation breaks to the escalation queue with full context
  • Hold a high bar for correctness, exactly-once semantics and audit trails

Why it matters Designing exactly-once settlement is exactly the kind of judgment work humans own. Agents run the rails; humans build them right.

Apply now
Core Payments

Core Payments Engineer, APIs

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Build the clean, versioned payment APIs the sales agent and partners drive to move money.

  • Design a versioned payments API the sales agent uses for a client's first live transaction
  • Guarantee idempotency and machine-safe semantics for an agent caller
  • Partner with the platform team on identity, permissions and audit

Why it matters The first live transaction runs through these APIs. Designing machine-safe, idempotent interfaces for an agent caller is judgment work, not repetition.

Apply now
Revenue Operations

Revenue Operations Manager

Full-time · Remote · Contract

You are the sales agent's operator, not a seller. Own the policies, pricing bands and escalation queue that let the agent take a mid-market client from inbound to first live transaction with zero human touches.

  • Write the sales agent's decision policies and pricing/discount bands — what it can offer, approve and where it must escalate
  • Run the escalation queue and turn every escalation into a policy change or a new eval case
  • Own the agent's funnel: drive touch-free conversion up and escalation rate down

Why it matters The agent executes policy; humans author and revise it. Setting pricing bands and judging the novel escalation is judgment work — and this seat shrinks over time by design, as the agent needs you less.

Apply now
Security

Security Engineer

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Secure a platform where autonomous agents move money — the threat model for agent identity and permissions, audit-log integrity, secrets, and blast-radius limits.

  • Deliver the threat model for the agent runtime and drive the top risks into platform work
  • Build guardrails: spend/rate limits, anomaly detection on agent behaviour and a tested kill-switch
  • Set the compliance baseline we'll owe banks and regulators (SOC 2 trajectory, PCI-relevant controls)

Why it matters Adversarial thinking against a novel system is judgment, not repetition. An agent can run the scans; a human decides what “safe enough to move money” means and is accountable for it.

Apply now
Data / ML

Data / ML Engineer, Agent Quality

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Make agent quality a measured number, not a vibe. Build the eval suites, quality metrics and regression harnesses that decide whether an agent is safe to ship.

  • Build the sales agent's eval harness — labelled scenarios, automated scoring and a pass bar wired into the release gate
  • Ship production quality telemetry with a regression alarm when agent quality drops
  • Make the eval framework reusable so every future agent inherits measurement for free

Why it matters Deciding what “good” means is judgment; measuring it consistently is the leverage. This is an eval role — we use frontier models as components; our edge is measurement and governance, not model training.

Apply now
Government & Disbursements

Government & Disbursements Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Open and own BlinkSky's relationships with state and public agencies — the programs that move benefits, payroll and disbursements to millions of recipients.

  • Build relationships with state agencies and win disbursement and benefits programs
  • Navigate procurement, RFPs and public-sector compliance from first contact to signed contract
  • Translate agency requirements into what our platform and agents must support

Why it matters Selling to a government is a trust-and-relationship game, not a repeatable one — this seat carries the credibility and accountability an agent can't. Ideally you've sold to state agencies before.

Apply now
Government & Disbursements

Public Programs Manager, Disbursements

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own delivery for live government disbursement programs — the human accountable to the agency when public money moves.

  • Own program delivery, reporting and the ongoing agency relationship post-signature
  • Be the escalation point when a public disbursement needs human judgment
  • Feed program and audit requirements back into product and compliance

Why it matters Agencies hold a named human accountable for a program's outcomes; agents run the disbursements, but the relationship and the accountability stay with a person.

Apply now
International Licensing

International Licensing Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own where in the world BlinkSky is allowed to operate — payment and e-money licensing across new markets.

  • Drive payment and e-money licence applications across target markets
  • Own the direct relationship with regulators and local counsel through approval
  • Set the market-entry sequence with legal, compliance and leadership

Why it matters A licence is granted to an institution through a relationship with a regulator — judgment, negotiation and credibility no agent can carry.

Apply now
International Licensing

Licensing & Market-Entry Manager

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Run the licensing pipeline market by market — the applications, filings and local requirements that unlock each new country.

  • Manage licence applications and regulatory filings across multiple jurisdictions
  • Coordinate local counsel, banking partners and in-country requirements
  • Keep leadership current on approval timelines and market-entry risk

Why it matters Every filing is judgment against a specific regime; agents can prep and track, but a human owns the regulator conversation and the call.

Apply now
Enterprise Partnerships

Enterprise Partnerships Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own the strategic relationships that give BlinkSky reach — banks, networks and processors that no direct effort could replace.

  • Source, negotiate and close strategic bank, network and processor partnerships
  • Own the executive relationship and joint roadmap with each partner
  • Turn partnership terms into concrete platform and integration requirements

Why it matters Whale relationships are owned by humans by design — trust, negotiation and long-horizon judgment are exactly the work we keep with people.

Apply now
Enterprise Partnerships

Partnerships Manager, Enterprise

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Grow and keep our enterprise partnerships healthy once they're live — the human the partner calls.

  • Own day-to-day and executive relationships across a portfolio of partners
  • Drive joint go-to-market and expansion within existing partnerships
  • Be the escalation point when a partner needs a human decision

Why it matters A live partnership is a relationship, not a workflow; agents handle the mechanics while a person owns the trust and the escalations.

Apply now
Compliance & AML

Chief Compliance Officer

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own BlinkSky's compliance posture as it scales across markets and regulators — and carry the credibility regulators trust.

  • Own the compliance framework for payment and e-money activities across markets
  • Be the credible, accountable face to regulators, auditors and banking partners
  • Turn regulatory change into clear controls the platform and agents enforce

Why it matters Regulators hold a named, accountable human responsible for compliance. This seat needs someone with genuine regulator credibility — an agent can enforce controls, but it can't be the person a regulator trusts.

Apply now
Compliance & AML

Head of AML & Financial Crime

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Protect the platform from money laundering, sanctions breaches and financial crime — and own the program regulators and banks review.

  • Own the AML/CFT and sanctions program and its effectiveness
  • Set the policies and thresholds the detection agents enforce
  • Own the judgment calls and regulator-facing reporting agents can't

Why it matters Judgment on a genuinely novel financial-crime case, and accountability for the program, stay with a human; agents run detection at scale underneath.

Apply now
Compliance & AML

Financial Crime Analyst

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Handle the financial-crime cases that need human judgment — the escalations detection agents can't close alone.

  • Investigate escalated alerts and make suspicious-activity determinations
  • Handle complex due-diligence and sanctions cases end to end
  • Turn what you learn into better detection rules and eval cases

Why it matters The routine screening is automated; a human owns the ambiguous case, the SAR decision, and the tuning that makes the agents sharper.

Apply now
Marketing

B2B Marketing Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own how the enterprise, partner and government markets understand BlinkSky — positioning, demand and credibility.

  • Own B2B positioning, messaging and demand across enterprise and public sectors
  • Build the credibility content that supports partnership and government motions
  • Set the strategy the marketing agents then execute at scale

Why it matters Positioning a category-defining company is judgment and taste; a human sets the story, and agents scale its execution.

Apply now
Marketing

B2C Marketing Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own how millions of consumers discover and trust BlinkSky — brand, growth and lifecycle for the consumer product.

  • Own consumer brand, growth and lifecycle strategy end to end
  • Set the creative and channel direction agents execute against
  • Own the metrics that tie brand and growth to real adoption

Why it matters Brand and consumer trust are set by human taste and judgment; agents run the campaigns, a person owns what the brand means.

Apply now
Design

Product Design Lead

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Own the experience of paying with and building on BlinkSky — trustworthy, effortless design across every surface.

  • Lead end-to-end UX for consumer, merchant and partner experiences
  • Set the design direction and quality bar for the whole product
  • Turn research into design decisions that build trust

Why it matters Design taste and judgment about what feels trustworthy are human work; agents can produce variations, a person decides what's right.

Apply now
Design

Design Systems Designer

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Build and scale the design system every BlinkSky surface — and every agent-built interface — is composed from.

  • Own and evolve the component library, tokens and interaction patterns
  • Document the standards designers, engineers and agents build against
  • Drive consistency and quality across every product surface

Why it matters The system encodes human taste once so everything built on it, by people or agents, stays consistent and on-brand.

Apply now
People & Talent

Head of People & Talent

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Build the team that builds the agents — attract and keep the small number of exceptional humans an AI-native company runs on.

  • Own hiring strategy and the bar for a deliberately small, exceptional team
  • Build the culture and retention that keep the people agents can't replace
  • Design how humans and agents work together across the company

Why it matters When the whole company is a few hundred exceptional people, who you hire and how you keep them is the entire game — the most human judgment there is.

Apply now
People & Talent

Talent Partner

Full-time · Remote · Contract

Find and close the rare hires this company depends on — engineers, operators and leaders who thrive in an agent-native org.

  • Own full-cycle hiring for critical technical and leadership roles
  • Build relationships with candidates the market competes hard for
  • Sell the mission and scope that beat big-tech comp

Why it matters Assessing and persuading an exceptional human is relationship work; sourcing scales with agents, the judgment and the close stay with a person.
