About The Position

Our USA Regulatory Compliance team ensures Augustus' programmable banking rails outpace the speed of modern finance without breaking. You will work directly with our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Risk Officer to translate complex federal and state statutes into scalable code and airtight controls. Your mission is to turn compliance from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage, giving our growth, product, and engineering teams the confidence to deploy products that are both boundary-pushing and fully covered. You'll navigate the complexity of US banking laws and consumer protection regulations to translate them into clean, automated code and scalable processes. You decide how we manage risk without killing product velocity. You'll build the systems that ensure every product, service, account, and transaction is compliant at scale, moving us from manual oversight to real-time, algorithmic governance. Success means Augustus is the gold standard. You will build a compliance engine so robust and transparent that regulators use us as the blueprint. You own the outcomes, you set the bar for what "great" looks like, and you make sure our greatest competitive advantage is our ability to do difficult things with excellence.

Requirements

5+ years of regulatory compliance experience, specifically involved with US banks or mature fintech.
Deep, working knowledge of Reg E, Reg Z, the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and GLBA.
Direct experience developing, drafting, and operating compliance policies, assurance testing, and risk assessments.
Based in New York City or the Dallas area, or willing to relocate.

Nice To Haves

You thrive in high-stakes environments where your judgment directly determines whether a product ships.
You are obsessed with precision and get frustrated when regulatory interpretations lack a clear path to execution.
You want to be the primary architect of a compliance engine that will scale globally as we expand.
