About this role
What you’ll do
-
You’ll work directly with startups, founders, and strategic partners to help them build on Airwallex. This role blends hands-on integration work with demo engineering — you’ll build polished reference implementations independently, while also working side-by-side with partners to co-create integrations and applications that help them get started and build internal support for working with Airwallex.
-
A key part of the role is turning these engagements into high-quality reference builds and case studies that can be leveraged more broadly. You’ll identify patterns across this work, develop reusable approaches, and feed real-world insights back to Product and Engineering teams.
