CustomerDueDiligence

Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken. Global clearing runs on legacy banks that are closed 115 days a year, built for humans and take two days to settle. Augustus is the update to the internet era. We received conditional approval from the OCC to charter America’s first stablecoin-native clearing bank that is always open, made for machines, at the speed of compute. We are a group of operators, unicorn early employees, ex-founders and people who walked away from degrees because they believe this is an industry and career defining opportunity. We're backed with $40M from Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures, Creandum and founders of Ramp, Deel and Circle. We are regulated in Europe and live with Euro and Stablecoin clearing today. Now, we are building the US team from the ground up, while continuing to grow rapidly in Europe. THE ROLE You own the end-to-end customer due diligence program for the US market. You design the logic that allows Augustus to move money safely at scale without compromising on speed. You build the due diligence framework from the ground up: defining risk profiles, setting the standards for verification workflows, and making the final call on complex entities. You partner closely with Operations, who builds and runs the systems that execute your framework. You decide where we automate and where we intervene. Your goal is a frictionless yes for legitimate builders and a quick, hard no for bad actors.   YOUR FIRST SIX MONTHS - Months 1-2: You dive deep into our compliance framework and the systems Ops runs to execute it. You'll master our internal CDD workflows, handle your first batch of complex entity reviews, and identify where manual intervention makes sense versus where encoded risk decisions can run themselves.
