Jose is an exceptional match for this role. He has deep founding engineer experience building AI products from scratch (Addie, Rubercubic), strong hands-on technical chops across the full stack (FastAPI, Next.js, LLM agents, infrastructure), and 12 years shipping production systems at scale. The role sits perfectly at his wheelhouse of exploration-meets-exploitation, and his experience with real-time AI systems, data pipelines, fine-tuning models, and cost-optimization aligns directly with Adyen's need to transform fintech through applied AI on their $1.65T dataset.
Hook: Your founding engineer experience shipping real-time AI products end-to-end and optimizing production systems at scale makes you an ideal fit for Adyen's Member of Technical Staff role bridging research and production fintech innovation.
Missing: payments domain expertise, fraud detection or risk modeling experience, direct experience with high-volume transaction systems
