Full Job Description
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.

You own committee reporting, the dashboards and escalation pathways that make risk visible, standardized, and tied to real decisions. The end state is a single, coherent risk operating model: inv
