Compliance Officer, Roma

About Roma :

Roma is building the stablecoin infrastructure layer for enterprise payments and treasury management. We enable businesses to move money globally in real-time at dramatically lower costs by bridging traditional finance with tokenized assets and stablecoins.

Founded by Amit Jain (former Managing Director at Sequoia Capital and APAC Head at Uber), Roma is backed by world-class investors and trusted by leading global enterprises including DoorDash, Binance, Solana Foundation, and Noon.

What We Do :

Roma provides three core infrastructure products:

• Stablecoin Orchestration: A single API to send, receive, convert, and store stablecoins across multiple blockchains and protocols

• Enterprise-Grade Payments: Unified global payouts API with 100+ bank and payment service provider integrations supporting both fiat and stablecoin rails

• Treasury Management: Consolidated visibility and control across all bank accounts, PSPs, stablecoin wallets, and tokenized investment accounts.

We're at an inflection point in financial infrastructure. Stablecoins and tokenized assets are transitioning from emerging technology to essential components of the global financial system. Roma is positioned at the forefront of this transformation, enabling enterprises to operate seamlessly across fiat and digital asset rails.
