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 You own the heart of the programmable bank: Payments and Accounts. The full global payment stack - US rails (ACH, FedWire, FedNow), international Swift, European schemes (SEPA, SEPA Instant, FPS), and the programmable accounts layer: DDAs, FBOs, and virtual accounts. Each is both a technical layer and a commercial product. The end state: enterprise customers plug into Augustus via API and move money anywhere in the world, instantly, 24/7. Your job is to challenge the status quo - to understand what's possible on these rails and push further. Every product you ship should offer our customers something they've never been able to get from a bank before. You'll work on Marble, our proprietary bank core. Your product decisions directly shape what robust, scalable, and fast means in practice. You'll get deep into the use cases our customers are building: how a stablecoin operator structures flows, how an OTC desk runs settlement, how a co
