About this role

About Altitude

Stablecoins crossed $300 billion in circulation. Real businesses now use them for cross-border settlements, contractor payments, treasury operations.

The fintech playbook assumed rails were fixed - you couldn't change ACH or SWIFT, only build better interfaces on top. Stablecoins change the rails themselves, creating an opening for a new generation of financial products.

Altitude is what we're building to capture it. Business accounts on stablecoin rails: global accounts, cross-border payments, cards, invoicing, yield. Over 500 businesses use it today. Built by Squads (Squads Multisig secures $10B+ on Solana). Backed by Haun, Multicoin, Solana, Coinbase, Electric Capital, Placeholder and others.

The Role

You'll own Altitude's compliance program from first principles. This isn't a checkbox role, it's designing the policies that govern how we onboard businesses, monitor transactions, and interface with regulators across jurisdictions. You'll translate legislation (US, EU, and eventually UAE/Singapore) into operational reality.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain Altitude's AML/CFT compliance framework from

  • Create KYB policies that balance fraud prevention with legitimate business onboarding speed

  • Establish transaction monitoring rules and escalation protocols

  • Own regulatory relationships and reporting obligations (SARs, required filings)

  • Design policies that work across our multi-PSP architecture

  • Prepare the company for MTL licensing and evolving regulatory frameworks

  • Work with legal to interpret new stablecoin and crypto-asset regulations as they emerge

What We're Looking For

  • Deep understanding of AML/CFT legislation - US BSA/FinCEN, EU AMLDs, MiCA implications

  • Experience building compliance programs, not just operating within them

  • Ability to think systematically about risk vs. applying playbooks

  • Comfort with ambiguity, stablecoin regulation is evolving; you'll need to make judgment calls

  • Prior experience in fintech, payments, or crypto preferred

  • Strong written communication, policies need to be clear, defensible, and implementable

Not a Fit If

  • You need every scenario pre-defined before you can act

  • Your instinct is to slow everything down rather than find compliant paths forward

  • You've only operated compliance programs, never built one
