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 have some tooling, but no one has owned the big picture and thought things through from 0 to 1 to 100. You'll design and run the internal tech stack that the entire company works on every day. IAM, MDM, hardware lifecycle, office connectivity, access controls, onboarding - end to end. You make sure every employee has exactly what they need to move fast and work securely, from anywhere. You'll work across every team to understand how people actually work and build the systems around that. You treat IT as a product and employees as your users. You give the company an internal experience that's as seamless as the platform we ship to customers. TEAM MISSION Ivy is building The Dark Bank - a bank run by agents. Our infrastructure team (DevOps, Security, Data, IT) builds the foundation for that. We are a
