About Altitude
Stablecoins crossed $300 billion in circulation. Real businesses now use them for cross-border settlements, contractor payments, treasury operations.
The fintech playbook assumed rails were fixed - you couldn't change ACH or SWIFT, only build better interfaces on top. Stablecoins change the rails themselves, creating an opening for a new generation of financial products.
Altitude is what we're building to capture it. Business accounts on stablecoin rails: global accounts, cross-border payments, cards, invoicing, yield. Over 500 businesses use it today. Built by Squads (Squads Multisig secures $15B+ on Solana). Backed by Haun, Multicoin, Solana, Coinbase, Electric Capital, Placeholder and others.

The Role
You’ll own Altitude’s compliance program from first principles. This isn’t a checkbox role, it’s designing the policies that govern how we onboard businesses, monitor transactions, and interface with regulators across jurisdictions. You’ll translate legislation (US, EU, and eventually UAE/Singapore) into operational reality.
What You’ll Do
• Build and maintain Altitude’s AML/CFT compliance framework
• Create KYB policies that balance fraud prevention with legitimate business onboarding speed
• Establish transaction monitoring rules and escalation protocols
• Own regulatory relationships and reporting obligations (SARs, required filings)
• Design policies that work across our multi‑PSP architecture
• Prepare the company for MTL licensing and evolving regulatory frameworks
• Work with legal to interpret new stablecoin and crypto‑asset regulations as they emerge
What We’re Looking For
• Deep understanding of AML/CFT legislation – US BSA/FinCEN, EU AMLDs, MiCA implications
• Experience building compliance programs, not just operating within them
• Ability to think systematically about risk vs. applying playbooks
• Comfort with ambiguity; stablecoin regulation is evolving, you’ll need to make judgment calls
• Prior experience in fintech, payments, or crypto preferred
• Strong written communication, policies need to be clear, defensible, and implementable
Not a Fit If
• You need every scenario pre‑defined before you can act
• Your instinct is to slow everything down rather than find compliant paths forward
• You’ve only operated compliance programs, never built one
