The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

About the Role

This is an end-to-end ownership role over a core operational domain, reporting directly to the COO at an AI-native, stablecoin-based clearing and banking platform built for global fintechs and financial institutions. You will design, automate, and scale the systems that make operations run hands-off, measuring success by volume growth with flat headcount rather than team size.

What You'll Do

• Own one operational domain end-to-end: customer operations, payment operations, or fincrime operations, running it like a product team from day one.

• Perform the manual work yourself in the first couple of months, sitting in the queue to identify exactly where processes break and defining the KPIs that prove the system works.

• Ship the first wave of automations within a few months, proving the operating model on a live cohort and driving measurable volume lift.

• Scale agents across your domain so that humans handle only the highest-risk decisions while the long tail runs hands-off.

• Spec agents and shape tooling directly alongside Engineering and Product, collaborating on real decisions rather than filing tickets.

• Draft, defend, and continuously improve escalation paths, SOPs, and operational metrics.

What We're Looking For

• 3 or more years building products or processes at a bank, fintech, payments, or crypto company, or tier-1 consulting experience with regulated financial services exposure.

• Production automations or agents shipped and running in live environments today, not proofs of concept.

• Hands-on experience performing operational work such as queue management, case handling, or transaction processing to understand process pain points firsthand.

• Experience designing end-to-end operational domains including process design, SOP creation, KPI definition, and tooling selection.

• Strong background working directly with engineering and product teams to spec and build operational tooling and systems.

• Familiarity with compliance, risk, fincrime, payment operations, clearing, or settlement workflows is a strong plus.

• Experience with AI agents, LLMs, or intelligent automation systems is a plus.

• Automation-first mindset: your first instinct is to build a system, not to add headcount.

• High agency, ownership mentality, and comfort operating in ambiguity without an established playbook.

• Based in New York or willing to relocate.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 4 points (from 68 before penalties). Reviewed 23 Sep 2026.
