Why Easy Pay Direct

Easy Pay Direct (EPD) is building the payment tools that power agentic commerce — where intelligent software agents can discover, evaluate, and transact on behalf of businesses and consumers.

We’re not just processing payments. We’re creating systems that allow autonomous and AI-assisted workflows to move money safely and reliably in a fast-evolving payments world.

Our operating principle is win win win: clients win, partners win, and team members win. If anyone isn’t winning, we’re doing it wrong.

Your Mission

Explore, prototype, and implement high-leverage solutions using Vibe Coding and modern automation tools — turning ideas, friction points, and opportunities into working systems that make EPD easier to operate and easier to scale.

What Success Looks Like

30 days

  • Understand EPD’s systems, workflows, internal tools, and client experience
  • Ship at least one useful internal automation or tool
  • Identify several high-impact opportunities for improvement or experimentation

60 days

  • Independently design and deploy multiple Vibe-coded solutions
  • Improve at least one internal workflow with measurable impact (speed, reliability, clarity)
  • Collaborate effectively on special projects across ops, product, and leadership

90 days

  • Own a steady pipeline of experiments and implementations
  • Deliver tools used weekly by staff and/or clients
  • Be known internally as the person who turns ideas into working systems — fast

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and implement tools, automations, and features using Vibe Coding
  • Experiment with new platforms, tools, and workflows — then apply what works
  • Reduce manual work, friction, and complexity across internal operations
  • Build internal tools that teams actually use and rely on
  • Create client-facing enhancements when there’s clear, validated value
  • Move quickly from idea → prototype → iteration → deployment
  • Document solutions clearly so others can understand and extend them
  • Balance speed with good judgment and reliability

Must-Haves

  • Hands-on experience with Vibe Coding and modern automation tools
  • Clear evidence you’ve shipped real, working systems
  • Strong problem-solving instincts and bias toward action
  • Comfort operating without detailed specs
  • Open, direct communication (especially in writing)
  • High ownership: you see problems and take responsibility for fixing them

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience building internal tools or workflow automations
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted or agentic workflows
  • Exposure to fintech, payments, or regulated environments
  • Product thinking: understanding users, tradeoffs, and impact
  • Startup or fast-moving environment experience

Traits That Win Here

  • Self-taught, relentlessly curious builder
  • Pragmatic and experimental — not precious about tools
  • Comfortable shipping imperfect versions and iterating
  • Strong judgment about what matters most
  • Motivated by making things easier for other people

This Role Is NOT for You If…

  • You need detailed instructions before taking action
  • You prefer maintaining existing systems over building new ones
  • You enjoy theory more than shipping real tools
  • You resist feedback or iteration
  • You’re uncomfortable being accountable for outcomes

How We Work

At EPD, we hire and exit based on core values and KPIs. We’re not looking for people who aspire to our values — we’re looking for people who already live them: making things easier, communicating openly and effectively, doing the right thing, persisting through challenges, and growing quickly.
