Location Anywhere Employment Type Full time Location Type Remote Department Altitude 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 $15B+ on Solana). Backed by Haun, Multicoin, Solana, Coinbase, Electric Capital, Placeholder and others. More on the thesis here. The Role Youâll own Altitudeâs compliance program from first principles. This isnât a checkbox role, itâs designing the policies that govern how we onboard businesses, monitor transactions, and interface with regulators across jurisdictions. Youâll translate legislation (US, EU, and eventually UAE/Singapore) into operational reality. What Youâll Do ⢠Build and maintain Altitudeâs AML/CFT compliance framework ⢠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 multiâPSP architecture ⢠Prepare the company for MTL licensing and evolving regulatory frameworks ⢠Work with legal to interpret new stablecoin and cryptoâasset regulations as they emerge What Weâre Looking For ⢠Deep understanding of AML/CFT legislation â 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, youâll 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 preâdefined before you can act ⢠Your instinct is to slow everything down rather than find compliant paths forward ⢠Youâve only operated compliance programs, never built one
