About the role
Alternative Payments is building the financial operating system for SMBs, consolidating the disconnected tech stack that holds service-based businesses back. Starting with MSPs, we've spent five years perfecting accounts receivable, and we're now expanding into accounts payable, AI-powered analytics, and beyond. We're at an inflection point: closing the loop on money movement and laying the foundation for a platform that will reshape how service businesses operate financially.
We're growing fast, thinking big, and building a global team that wants to be part of something that lasts. We believe the best solutions come from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and a shared obsession with customer impact. If you're energized by real problems, real customers, and real impact, we want to hear from you!
What we’re looking for
We’re seeking an Applied AI Lead to join our team and own the AI layer powering our internal operations.
This is not a typical AI role. You’ll work alongside our bizops, finance, support and engineering teams to identify where AI can eliminate manual work, reduce cycle time and surface better decisions. You’ll also serve as the technical guardrail for AI work happening across the company, setting the architecture, security standards and integration patterns that let teams build with confidence.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on technical problem-solving with real business context, and wants to take a hands-on role in shaping how an AI-native fintech platform gets built from the inside out.
This role is available to candidates eligible to work in the US, hybrid in New York.
What you’ll do
- Act as the operational owner of AI at the business; partner with functional leaders to identify high-leverage areas where AI tooling can dramatically reduce effort, increase quality, or accelerate timelines
