Why this grade
This listing scored 64/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 51 listings that did publish a figure, median $161k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.

Infrastructure, Security)| New York, San Francisco | ONSITE | VISA (case by case) | $180K-$260K + equity
We build Percy, an agent that runs financial-crimes investigations for banks and fintechs. It clears false positives, escalates real risk, and writes the case narrative and audit record a regulator will read. Under it sits four years of identity infrastructure: verification, an AWS Nitro Enclave-backed vault for PII, and the APIs our customers call directly. The backend is Rust.
We're hiring three Members of Technical Staff:
- Backend: the Rust APIs and services behind verification, vaulting, and the checks Percy runs. Production Rust is ideal; deep systems experience plus a real wish to learn it also works. Crypto or systems-security background counts for a lot.
- Infrastructure: own agent compute, isolation, deploys and observability across Rust services and long-running agents. Rust, Postgres/Aurora, AWS (ECS/Fargate), Pulumi/Terraform, Datadog, OpenTelemetry.
- Security: protect identity data we vault on behalf of regulated banks and fintechs, and prove to auditors every step was done right.
Small, senior team. Backed by QED, Index and BoxGroup. Customers include FDIC- and OCC-regulated banks plus Bilt, Nuvei and MoonPay.
