About Better Money
The next wave of stablecoin adoption is in payments. At Better Money, we’re building a stablecoin clearinghouse designed to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset.
We’re a small, ambitious NYC-based team backed by $10M from a16z Crypto and other exceptional partners, building the infrastructure we believe will power the next generation of global payments.
The Role
We’re looking for an Applied AI Engineer to bring modern AI capabilities into our products, engineering workflows, and financial infrastructure.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on turning LLMs, agents, retrieval systems, and AI-powered workflows into reliable production systems. You’ll identify high-impact opportunities for AI, prototype quickly, evaluate what works, and take successful ideas all the way into production.

Working closely with Product and Engineering, you’ll help determine where AI can meaningfully improve the product, automate complex processes, and give a small team significantly more leverage.
Why Better Money
You’ll have the opportunity to define how AI is used from the ground up inside an early-stage financial infrastructure company, with significant ownership and direct impact on both the product and how the company operates.
