Role Overview
Cyclops builds the infrastructure layer that lets payment companies offer crypto and stablecoin products to their merchants and end customers. As our Product Manager for Compliance and Onboarding, you will own compliance and onboarding across our entire payment product suite: who gets onto the platform, how fast, and how every transaction stays compliant, in every jurisdiction we operate.
You will own onboarding for our clients, their merchants, and individual end customers, with KYB and KYC flows that satisfy regulators and convert well. Cyclops acts as a KYB orchestrator between our clients and the downstream providers we route through, always reusing existing KYB and KYC data to reduce friction. You also own the compliance suite running under every transaction: sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, risk scoring, fraud prevention, and Travel Rule, across crypto and fiat, built into our products.
This is a high-ownership role at a fast-moving startup. You will partner closely with the Product Director on strategy, and work daily with Compliance and Legal to translate regulatory requirements (MiCA, US MTLs, and emerging-market rules) into product decisions. You use automation and AI to make compliance workflows faster, while handling sensitive data responsibly.

  • Experience designing or working with KYC/KYB reliance, data-sharing, or reusable verification models to reduce onboarding friction.

  • Experience owning compliance products such as sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, risk scoring, or fraud prevention, ideally spanning both fiat and crypto rails.
  • Familiarity with Travel Rule requirements and how they apply across products and jurisdictions.
  • Working knowledge of the regulatory landscape affecting compliance products: MiCA, US state money transmitter licensing (MTLs), sanctions regimes, and AML requirements.
  • Proven ability to work through regulatory trade-offs with Legal and Compliance teams and turn them into shippable product requirements.
  • Strong analytical skills, with comfort in defining and tracking compliance and onboarding performance metrics.
  • Effective communicator who can drive alignment across compliance, engineering, and executive stakeholders.
