About the role
You'll own the product that makes a shop sellable to AI agents. Everything between a merchant's existing catalog and a clean, agent-completed purchase: feed ingestion, structured product data, real-time availability, agentic checkout, and post-purchase (returns, disputes, payouts).
Compensation & benefits
Base salary: $140,000 to $200,000, plus annual performance bonus. Equity: 0.5% to 1.2%, as a core platform-owning hire. Benefits: full medical, dental, and vision; flexible PTO; remote-first; equipment and home office stipend; conference and learning budget.
What you'll do
You'll set the roadmap for how merchants connect, get certified as agent-ready, and go live across multiple buying agents. You'll make hard calls on which checkout and catalog protocols to support and in what order (ACP, AP2, platform-specific specs), balancing what agents require against what merchants can realistically ship. You'll partner with engineering on the integration surface and with partnerships on what each agent platform demands. You'll obsess over the merchant onboarding experience, because adoption lives or dies there.
What we're looking for
You have experience at a commerce platform. merchant-facing or commerce products and have hands-on context for agentic commerce from the shop side: product feeds, inventory sync, checkout, payments, and the failure modes (stale inventory, bad attributes, failed auth, chargebacks) that break trust with both merchants and agents. You can hold a technical conversation about catalog schemas and checkout flows, then zoom out to a roadmap that an exec team can fund. You're energized by ambiguity and want to define the standard rather than follow one.
Salary : $140,000 - $200,000
