About the role
- tl;dr: We're automating compliance for banks and fintechs with AI agents that work on existing systems like human analysts.
- BACKGROUND If you've worked in compliance, you've seen it firsthand: the endless reviews, duplicate alerts, and outdated systems that make even simple controls take hours.
- The rules make sense; the systems don't.
Responsibilities
- We build AI analysts that work inside browsers and internal systems just like humans - automating AML, KYC, KYB, and transaction monitoring end-to-end.
- Banks spend $50B a year hiring thousands of analysts to manage compliance operations.
- You'll design how financial crime prevention works in the age of AI - replacing checklists and manual reviews with robust reasoning systems that explain their logic.
- You'll collaborate with banks, fintechs, and MSBs to deploy automation that meets real-world standards.
- You'll work with engineers to design interpretable, auditable, and explainable AI systems that regulators can trust.
- You'll collaborate with engineering to make sure every product decision is explainable and compliant by design - ensuring regulatory adherence, technical precision, and customer success.
Requirements
- You've spent 3-5 years in AML, risk, or compliance roles at a bank, fintech, or regtech - and you know how investigations, onboarding, and escalations actually work.
Compensation
- 🗺️ Annual offsite (last one in Mexico!)
Benefits
- 🏥 Comprehensive healthcare
- 🏝️ Unlimited PTO
- Instead of replacing judgment, our agents replicate it - learning from analyst feedback, explaining their reasoning, and improving over time.
Company info
- You want to see your work move the company forward - every day.
- Partner with customers to understand how their compliance processes are actually done, then design products that remove the bottlenecks: mapping workflows, refining alerts, improving output quality & accuracy, and building transparency into every decision.
