San Francisco, CA · On-site · Full-time Compensation: $120,000–$300,000 + competitive equity

About the Company

Our client builds AI compliance analysts that work inside browsers, APIs, and internal systems just like human analysts — automating AML, KYC, KYB, and transaction monitoring end to end for banks and fintechs. The thesis: compliance is a large, broken, underserved market, and the client is building the intelligence layer that protects the financial system. It's deployed with banks and fintechs across the US, Canada, Europe, and LatAm, reports ~90% less manual work and ~4× lower costs for customers, and claims to have won every competitive RFP.

Founded 2024 · 1–10 people (Seed) · Industry: FinTech

The Role

A backend-leaning Member of Technical Staff building the end-to-end systems that power the client's production AI compliance workflows — high-performance infrastructure, reliability, and backend architecture supporting mission-critical automation.

Tech stack: Python, AWS (distributed inference, caching, queue orchestration, self-healing pipelines); browser automation, computer vision, LLM systems.

Requirements

• Experience with backend development and/or ML, especially in Python and AWS
• Hands-on experience deploying software to production environments
• Strong communication skills and willingness to interact with clients

Nice to Haves

• Experience with browser automation and computer vision
• A background in distributed inference and optimization on AWS
• Familiarity with LLM systems and deep-research pipelines
• Experience building systems that process millions of transactions at scale
• Knowledge of compliance, AML, KYC, or financial-crime domains
• A competitive coding background, or open-source / personal projects on GitHub
• Prior experience as a founder or at an early-stage startup

Why Join

• Frontier AI agents in production: build browser-based agents for the "invisible web" — computer vision, DOM understanding, robust error handling at scale, and novel agentic workflows with no Stack Overflow answers
• A massive, unsexy market: banks spend ~$50B/year on manual compliance analysts, with little innovation and frustrated customers
• Strong traction and backing: live across four regions with measurable customer wins
• Vertical ownership on a small team: own features end to end — agent behaviors, backend systems, ML pipelines, and product — often in the same week
