Senior Go Developer

MOR.AI is building the next generation of payment infrastructure — a Merchant of Record platform and a network of PayFacs.

We’re looking for our first technical hire — someone who can take the product from 0 → 1, build the platform from scratch, and eventually grow into a CTO role.

This is not a corporate job. You’ll own the architecture, infrastructure and delivery from day one.

What you’ll do

• Architect and build the entire V1 platform from scratch in Go
• Own backend, APIs, infrastructure and complex billing systems
• Design and build MoR / PayFac architecture
• Work hands-on with payment infrastructure, acquirer integrations and card network rules
• Make key technical decisions and move fast
• Build and lead the engineering team as the company scales
• Take ownership of the technical function as the company grows

What we’re looking for

Payments experience is mandatory. We’re looking for someone with hands-on experience in payment infrastructure and payment systems, including PayFacs, acquirers and card networks.

You should:

• Have strong backend engineering experience with Go / Golang
• Be able to independently architect and build a V1 product
• Be comfortable being the only developer for an extended period
• Have hands-on experience with payments
• Understand payment infrastructure, billing systems and MoR / PayFac architecture
• Think like a founder, not a corporate employee
• Be highly hands-on, fast and execution-oriented
• Be AI-native and use tools such as Cursor, Copilot, Claude, etc. to significantly accelerate development
• Have the ambition to build and lead an engineering team

The opportunity

• Base salary: market or below-market
• Significant % of EBITDA — real profit sharing, not just illiquid equity
• Clear, performance-based path to CTO
• Become the first technical hire and have real ownership from day one

If you’re looking for a comfortable corporate role, this is probably not for you.

If you want to build something from the ground up, shape the architecture, build the team and participate directly in the profits — let’s talk.

Hiring process

1. CV + relevant experience review
2. Initial screening
3. Culture alignment
4. Technical deep dive + architecture review
5. Final interview with the Founder

We move fast and respect everyone’s time.
