About the role

We’re looking for a founding full-stack engineer who’s passionate about building AI systems that solve real-world problems in fintech. You’ll work directly with the founders to design, build, and scale the AI infrastructure that powers our next-generation financial agents.

This is not just a coding role — it’s a chance to own product decisions, shape technical direction, and build the foundation of a platform that’s transforming financial operations globally.

Why Join Us?
AI is rewiring the financial industry — but most institutions can’t adopt it safely, securely, or quickly.
PathPilot is changing that. We’re building the AI layer that will sit at the center of every modern fintech operation:
a platform where loan decisions, customer support, collections, onboarding, and compliance are handled by intelligent, trustworthy agents.
Joining now means you get to define the standards that thousands of financial institutions will rely on.
You’ll help build the technology that becomes the backbone of how credit is offered, how trust is established, and how financial systems scale globally.


What You’ll Do

  • Build end-to-end features with our stack: React/Typescript + Python
  • Architect complex systems and guide AI Coding Agents to build the next generation of PathPilot technology
  • Drive key tech decisions, define APIs, and scale new capabilities as we grow
  • Build the frameworks that will enable us move faster


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong full-stack development experience — you’ve built and shipped products end to end.
  • Solid understanding of LLMs (prompt design, fine-tuning, embeddings, or orchestration frameworks like LangChain/LlamaIndex).
  • Experience with data-intensive applications (e.g., chat logs, CRM data, or financial data pipelines).
  • Ability to move fast, prioritize impact, and make pragmatic technical decisions.
  • Passion for AI as a product, not just as a model — you care about user experience, outcomes, and trust.
  • Comfort working in a small, fast-moving team with high ownership and autonomy.

Nice to Have

  • Experience as founder
  • Experience in fintech, banking, lending, or compliance systems.
  • Familiarity with agentic frameworks or multi-agent orchestration.
  • Cloud experience (AWS, GCP, or on-prem setups).

About PathPilot

PathPilot is an AI customer experience platform that transforms customer data into actionable insights. We're currently focusing on user session replays as the keystone data source to help companies better understand and optimize customer interactions.

PathPilot was co-founded by Victor Laguna, former engineer and engineering manager at Facebook with a focus on video products, and Vladimir Korshin, returning to Y Combinator after successfully selling his previous company, Level. Together, we're set on creating a product that will change the way businesses interact with their customers.
