Customer Due Diligence

• You look past the surface of documents to find the why behind a transaction, and view every edge case as a puzzle to solve rather than a box to check.

• You move fast enough to keep up with an engineering team but have the discipline to ensure a mistake never makes it into production.

• You are curious about how companies operate and connecting their use case to Augustus' risk appetite.

• You'd rather build the programmable back-office of a fintech startup than maintain the paper-heavy workflows of a legacy bank.

• You are comfortable making firm 'go' or 'no-go' decisions on high-risk accounts and defending your reasoning with data.

• You get an adrenaline rush from spotting small inconsistencies in a KYC file that others would gloss over.

• You thrive in high-volume environments where moving fast is the default, but precision is non-negotiable.

• You need a playbook to start your day. We are building the world's first programmable bank, and you'll often define the process while executing it.

• You prefer to check the boxes and move on. CDD at Augustus requires deep investigative curiosity and the ability to spot patterns that automated systems miss.

• You find frequent pivots in compliance tech or regulatory focus frustrating. Our roadmap moves fast, and your workflow will change with it.

• You go silent when you're stuck. We move at a fintech pace and rely on you to flag bottlenecks or ambiguous edge cases immediately.

• You view compliance as a hurdle rather than a product feature. You’ll be working closely with engineering teams to make onboarding both secure and seamless.

• You are uncomfortable making high-stakes decisions with incomplete data. You'll need to trust your judgment and own the risk outcomes you sign off on.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in CDD or KYC within a US fintech or bank.

• Deep working knowledge of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), USA PATRIOT Act, and OFAC regulations.

• Direct experience performing deep-dive enhanced due diligence (EDD) the AML programs of other financial institutions and on complex corporate structures and UBOs.

• Proven track record of using and improving automated onboarding verification flows using tools like Alloy, Middesk, or others.

• Based in New York City or the Dallas area, or willing to relocate.

Compensation packages at Augustus include base salary, equity, and benefits. New hire offers are made based on a candidate's experience, expertise and geographic location. The annual US base salary range for this role is $80,000-$120,000 + equity.
