About us

We’re a fast-growing fintech on a mission to redefine how Latin America manages its finances and this is your opportunity to be a crucial part of that transformation. Join a team of top talent from the world’s leading fintech and tech companies, and help build a cross-border financial system that’s modern, accessible, and built to scale.

Who we’re looking for

A Compliance Lead to design and run our US compliance function from day one. This is a hands-on, operational role for someone who thrives in building programs from scratch - owning BSA/AML, fraud prevention, and partner oversight while working side-by-side with product and operations to make compliance a core part of how we scale. You’ll have the autonomy to shape our compliance strategy, the tools to execute it, and the opportunity to be the go-to compliance leader for our US business.

What you’ll do

  • Build and scale our compliance infrastructure by partnering with LATAM compliance teams to align US practices where needed.

  • Manage compliance oversight with US sponsor banks, auditors, and regulators, including reviews, examinations, and reporting.

  • Drive ongoing reviews of our compliance program by identifying gaps against regulatory requirements and shaping action plans to strengthen controls.

  • Own key pillars of the compliance program - from policy design and implementation to audits and continuous improvements.

  • Support regulatory filings and readiness for new product launches or market expansions.

  • Partner with product, engineering, and operations to embed compliance requirements into systems and workflows.

  • Act as the designated compliance officer for our Registered Investment Advisor (RIA).

  • Translate regulatory changes (Reg E, UDAAP, BSA) into updated policies, processes, and controls.

  • Leverage data and tooling to monitor compliance performance, detect risks, and produce meaningful reports.

  • Deliver compliance training and foster a “compliance-by-design” culture across teams.

What you’ll need to succeed

  • 5+ years in US compliance operations or payments compliance roles

  • Proven success building or scaling compliance programs at a fintech, neobank, or payments company.

  • Strong knowledge of US payments regulation, including Reg E, UDAAP, and BSA.

  • Experience working directly with banks, regulators, and auditors.

  • Comfort with data and compliance tooling to track performance and risks.

  • A builder mindset with the ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

Why join us?

  • Competitive salary and equity - you share in our success

  • Hybrid working role

  • Flexible PTO and a “trust-first” culture

  • Sign-on equity bonus

  • Access to the latest tech and a modern tool stack

  • Work with a high-calibre team building the future of finance across LATAM
