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 Youāll own Altitudeās compliance program from first principles. This isnāt a checkbox role, itās designing the policies that govern how we onboard businesses, monitor transactions, and interface with regulators across jurisdictions. Youāll translate legislation (US, EU, and eventually UAE/Singapore) into operational reality. What Youāll Do ā¢ Build and maintain Altitudeās AML/CFT compliance framework ā¢ Create KYB policies that balance fraud prevention with legitimate business onboarding speed ā¢ Establish transaction monitoring rules and escalation protocols ā¢ Own regulatory relationships and reporting obligations (SARs, required filings) ā¢ Design policies that work across our multiāPSP architecture ā¢ Prepare the company for MTL licensing and evolving regulatory frameworks ā¢ Work with legal to interpret new stablecoin and cryptoāasset regulations as they emerge What Weāre Looking For ā¢ Deep understanding of AML/CFT legislation ā US BSA/FinCEN, EU AMLDs, MiCA implications ā¢ Experience building compliance programs, not just operating within them ā¢ Ability to think systematically about risk vs. applying playbooks ā¢ Comfort with ambiguity; stablecoin regulation is evolving, youāll need to make judgment calls ā¢ Prior experience in fintech, payments, or crypto preferred ā¢ Strong written communication, policies need to be clear, defensible, and implementable Not a Fit If ā¢ You need every scenario preādefined before you can act ā¢ Your instinct is to slow everything down rather than find compliant paths forward ā¢ Youāve only operated compliance programs, never built one
