About this role

TL;DR

The next wave of stablecoin adoption is payments. We’re building a stablecoin clearinghouse to make stablecoins move like money, not a trading asset. We’re building for the long-term, and that means focusing on compliance from day one. Help us come build out and scale our program.

About Us

We believe stablecoins are better money and will be the backbone of better payments. We see key structural problems hindering stablecoin adoption, and we’re going to fix them – starting with building a clearinghouse. We’re a small, scrappy team based in NYC, we’ve raised $10M from a16z Crypto and other excellent partners, and we’re going to bring better money to the world.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and manage our compliance program, including BSA/AML, KYC, and sanctions screening frameworks

  • Lead money transmitter license (MTL) applications at the state level

  • Develop, maintain, and operationalize compliance policies, procedures, and controls

  • Hire and build out the compliance team over time

  • The dishes.

What We’re Looking For

  • You’ve been the head of compliance or CCO of a licensed money transmitter or bank.

  • You’ve led preparation and filing of MTL applications across multiple states.

  • Strong working knowledge of BSA/AML, KYC/KYB, OFAC, and state money transmission regulations.

  • Familiarity with stablecoin, crypto, or digital asset regulatory landscape is a plus.

  • You are creative and a problem solver. You approach problems with solutions.

Our Values

  • Be offended by the status quo - a payment taking 3 days and costing 3% is offensive. Every day that people interact with legacy financial infrastructure costs humanity time and money. Bring the future forward with righteous indignation.

  • Be all over it - operate with extreme urgency and accountability. Know the numbers, meet the right people, answer every email, go the extra mile. Ask yourself: can it be done today?

  • We sell trust - trust is easy to lose. Security and integrity are our foundation. Use every interaction and every product as an opportunity to build trust. This is non-negotiable.

  • Do the dishes - we are all owners. Put ego aside and get shit done.

  • Be the glue - pick each other up and make each other better. Be direct, be helpful, and assume positive intent. Win as a team.

  • We enjoy the crucible! We are on a mission to change money. It takes a lot of optimism to attack such an ambitious goal. Our opportunity is a privilege and we don’t forget that. Especially when the journey is hard.

If these values speak to you, come talk to us!
