kite
San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | In-Person
Kite AI is building the trust framework for the next phase of the agentic internet.
We’re creating the transaction layer for the AI-native economy: a programmable system where agents can coordinate, pay, and interact autonomously with guardrails. We’re laying the foundation for an interoperable network of autonomous AI services - our infrastructure includes real-time payments, identity management, attribution, and programmable governance running on a custom blockchain built for AI.
We’re looking for an AI Product Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, moves quickly, and builds with conviction. You’ll design, prototype, and help productize the SDKs, APIs, and interfaces used by agent developers and service providers.
Backed by General Catalyst, Paypal Ventures, 8VC, Temasek’s Vertex Ventures and others, Kite AI is led by veterans from Databricks, Uber, and Salesforce, with research roots at UC Berkeley, Oxford, Harvard, and MIT.
What You’ll Do
Prototype → Validate → Spec → Build. You’ll own key flows from agent identity to payment coordination, iterating fast to define UX, SDK behavior, and backend logic.
Design for Agentic Developers: Build SDKs and interfaces for developers creating AI agents. Define how they generate agent IDs, delegate permissions, and track usage.
Developer Portal + Marketplace: Create the GUIs for agents to register, transact, and explore services (models, APIs, datasets) from the broader ecosystem.
Architect agent and asset onboarding flows that are intuitive, modular, and enforce verifiable permissions and usage rules.
Measure & Iterate: Design against activation KPIs.
Help define new standards for agent safety, attribution, and decentralized monetization.
