Mesh is a fintech infrastructure company enabling consumers to pay and be paid with any asset, particularly tokenized crypto assets. The company combines an orchestration engine with a consumer app to unlock liquidity for everyday commerce. Backed by leading investors including SBI, Money Forward, Paradigm, Dragonfly, Galaxy, and PayPal Ventures, Mesh is at the forefront of making crypto payments reliable and ubiquitous.
You will be the Founding PM for Agentic Commerce—a new, exploratory initiative at Mesh. This is not a traditional PM role with an existing product to ship. Instead, your mission is to pioneer how AI agents will fundamentally change commerce and payments. Today's payment flows assume a human is present to review and confirm transactions. Agents break that assumption, and the industry has no established playbook for what replaces it. Mesh needs to be at the front lines discovering the answer.
Key responsibilities:
• Serve as the center of gravity for agentic commerce at Mesh. You become the go-to expert on what's real versus hype in agent-driven payments. Every question about agents touching money movement routes to you.
• Build deep domain expertise the company doesn't yet have: understand emerging protocols, standards bodies, AI model capabilities, relevant startups, and failures in the space. When customers ask "what is Mesh's agent story?", you provide the authoritative answer.
• Build proof hands-on. You write code, wire up protocols, and run live experiments on actual payment rails—not decks or memos. You recruit customers from Mesh's existing base to validate hypotheses with real transactions.
• Represent Mesh at the frontier. Participate in protocol working groups, hackathons, and standards-setting forums. Establish Mesh as a recognized name in agentic commerce before the product exists.
• Make the case for what Mesh builds first. When a hypothesis survives validation, you write the business case, size the opportunity, and defend it to the SVP of Product. The quality of your evidence drives the company's speed and direction.
You will work directly with the SVP of Product to translate learnings into strategic bets. The role demands both thinking and doing: forming strong hypotheses, then proving or killing them through experimentation.
Requirements:
• Experience building something real without being told what to build: a very early-stage startup, a side project with real users, an AI agent that can buy/book/trade, or similar. You must have learned something from this experience that most people don't know.
• Builder mindset: you can take an idea to a working prototype yourself using code, APIs, and AI tools. You don't wait for permission or resources to start. You will be asked to demonstrate something you built and walk through the design decisions.
• Strong opinions, loosely held: you form positions before having complete information and change them when evidence warrants. You can articulate a conviction you held, what disproved it, and what you did next.
• Genuine curiosity about how money moves. Crypto or payments experience is a plus but not required.
