About the role

Imprint is reimagining co-branded credit cards & financial products to be smarter, more rewarding, and truly brand-first. We partner with companies like Crate & Barrel, Rakuten, Booking.com, H-E-B, Fetch, and Shell to launch modern credit programs that deepen loyalty, unlock savings, and drive growth. Our platform combines advanced payments infrastructure, intelligent underwriting, and seamless UX to help brands offer powerful financial products-without becoming a bank. Co-branded cards account for over $300 billion in U.S. annual spend-but most are still powered by legacy banks. Imprint is the modern alternative: flexible, tech-forward, and built for today's consumer. Backed by Kleiner Perkins, Thrive Capital, and Khosla Ventures, we're building a world-class team to redefine how people pay-and how brands grow. If you want to work fast, solve hard problems, and make a real impact, we'd love to meet you. We're looking for a creative, technical self-starter to build the platform that runs agents at Imprint. You'll develop Imprint's agent platform and iterate on taking those agents from toys to critical capabilities. As a Senior AI Engineer , you will accelerate AI adoption across every function at Imprint. You will design and deploy AI automation agents, build intelligent solutions, and drive an AI-native culture company-wide. This role blends technical execution with cross-functional enablement. You'll build agents, evangelize their use, and measure their impact. You'll work end-to-end, partnering with organizations across Imprint to integrate with internal systems and ship valuable, secure agent-based interfaces. You'll be trusted to move fast, experiment ambitiously, and scale what works. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, loves building, and understands how to balance pragmatism with technical vision. You should be comfortable stitching together APIs one day and wrangling embeddings or RAG pipelines the next. This work will require a mix of customer-centric product development, hands-on experience with modern AI frameworks, software engineering fundamentals, and a passion for automation. If you're excited by the opportunity to create leverage across every corner of a growing company, we'd love to meet you.
