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. 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 From day one, you own real parts of our core banking infrastructure. We are throwing you into the cold water intentionally so that you grow in the quickest way possible by solving hard problems. You'll design, build, and ship production systems that handle high-value financial flows at global scale. APIs, transaction processing, client integrations, you work on the same problems as the most senior engineers in the team. You learn by doing things that matter. You're part of the product engineering team building the Programmable Bank - a bank for the new age of money movement, built around Digital Assets and AI. Your team builds the banking core across bare metal central bank infrastructure and blockchain infrastructure. We are building a "swiss clock", your job is precision engineering to translate a complex system into simple and clean code which runs highly reliable way at scale. You'll join a small, senior team that trusts you wit
