Ondo Finance

3d • Remote

About The Position

Ondo Finance is building the products and infrastructure to bring capital markets onchain. We create institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. The Web team owns the product layer between Ondo's financial infrastructure and its users, building experiences for onboarding, eligibility, money movement, trading, minting/redeeming, portfolio management, and cross-chain interactions. Engineering on this team involves product taste, end-to-end ownership, speed with confidence, security and correctness, and high agency with low ego.

As a Full-Stack Engineer focused on Compliance, you will own a critical product area covering customer onboarding, identity verification, KYC/KYB, compliance reviews, transaction monitoring, and internal tools for Operations and Compliance teams. This is a product engineering role in a regulated domain where you will trace customer issues, redesign experiences, improve data models and audit trails, and work with operators. You will work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js APIs, data workflows, and third-party integrations, collaborating closely with Compliance, Legal, Risk, Operations, Product, and Design. The goal is to translate ambiguous policies into precise product behavior and durable technical designs, building the simplest secure, explainable, and resilient system.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience building and operating production full-stack applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript.
• Strong fundamentals in API and data-model design, relational databases, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, testing, observability, and third-party integrations.
• Hands-on experience building KYC/KYB, identity verification, onboarding, or similarly sensitive workflows, with a strong understanding of access controls, data protection, auditability, and secure system design.
• A record of owning complex product work end to end—not only implementing requirements handed to you.
• Product and technical judgment: you can translate ambiguous policy into precise system behavior, identify consequential edge cases, and make pragmatic tradeoffs without compromising critical controls.
• High standards for security, correctness, reliability, usability, and maintainability.
• The ability to communicate clearly, learn unfamiliar domains quickly, and create alignment across technical, legal, compliance, and operational partners.
• High agency and low ego. You move important work forward, invite strong critique, surface risk early, and care more about getting the system right than being right.

Nice To Haves

• Familiarity with financial-crime controls and frameworks such as BSA/AML, OFAC, FinCEN, KYC/CDD, SEC, or FATF.
• Experience building fintech, payments, trading, crypto, or other products where correctness, trust, and regulatory obligations are essential.
• Experience with systems that combine offchain identity and compliance data with onchain activity.
• Experience supporting audits, regulatory examinations, control testing, or compliance reporting.
• Experience applying AI or machine learning to regulated operational workflows.
• Curiosity, sound engineering judgment, respect for the domain, and the ability to become effective in unfamiliar regulatory and technical terrain quickly.

Responsibilities

• Own compliance-focused product areas from problem definition and architecture through implementation, launch, production operation, and iteration.
• Build clear, maintainable interfaces with React, Next.js, and TypeScript, along with the Node.js APIs, data models, workflows, and integrations that make them work.
• Turn complex regulatory and operational requirements into intuitive, testable product behavior for customers and internal users.
• Integrate identity, sanctions, blockchain analytics, fraud, and case-management providers while maintaining strong data quality, privacy, observability, and auditability.
• Design for real-world failure modes, including delayed and reordered vendor events, manual review, partial outages, retries, and conflicting state across systems.
• Work directly with Compliance, Legal, Risk, Operations, Product, Design, and users to understand the domain and make sound product and technical tradeoffs.
• Apply AI and machine learning where they can safely reduce manual work or improve decision support, with appropriate security, human review, explainability, and audit trails.
• Raise the level of the team through clear design work, thoughtful code review, strong operational ownership, and effective use of modern AI engineering tools.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation including salary, future token rights, and/or equity, according to your preferences.
• Full medical, vision, and dental benefits, plus a flexible vacation policy.
• A remote-first environment with meaningful autonomy and influence over product and technical direction.
