[Hiring] Full-Stack Software Engineer - Compliance @Ondo Finance

Role Description

As a Full-Stack Engineer focused on Compliance, you will own a critical product area spanning customer onboarding, identity verification, KYC/KYB, compliance reviews, transaction monitoring, and the internal tools our Operations and Compliance teams use every day.

This is a product engineering role in a regulated domain. You might:

• Trace a customer blocked in onboarding across the interface, vendor responses, decision logic, and operational workflow.
• Redesign the experience and improve the data model and audit trail behind it.
• Work directly with operators to understand what should change next.

You will move between:

• React and Next.js interfaces
• TypeScript and Node.js APIs
• Data workflows and third-party integrations

You will work closely with Compliance, Legal, Risk, Operations, Product, and Design, often turning ambiguous policy or operational problems into precise product behavior and durable technical design.

The best solution is rarely the most elaborate one. We are looking for an engineer who can:

• Understand the rule, risk, and user need.
• Identify the invariants that must hold.
• Build the simplest system that is secure, explainable, and resilient in production.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience building and operating production full-stack applications with React, Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript.
• Strong fundamentals in API and data-model design, relational databases, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, testing, observability, and third-party integrations.
• Hands-on experience building KYC/KYB, identity verification, onboarding, or similarly sensitive workflows.
• A record of owning complex product work end to end.
• Product and technical judgment: translating ambiguous policy into precise system behavior.
• High standards for security, correctness, reliability, usability, and maintainability.
• The ability to communicate clearly, learn unfamiliar domains quickly, and create alignment across technical, legal, compliance, and operational partners.
• High agency and low ego: moving important work forward and inviting strong critique.

Requirements

• Familiarity with financial-crime controls and frameworks such as BSA/AML, OFAC, FinCEN, KYC/CDD, SEC, or FATF.
• Experience building fintech, payments, trading, crypto, or other products where correctness, trust, and regulatory obligations are essential.
• Experience with systems that combine offchain identity and compliance data with onchain activity.
• Experience supporting audits, regulatory examinations, control testing, or compliance reporting.
• Experience applying AI or machine learning to regulated operational workflows.

Benefits

• Challenging, high-impact work building the trust and control layer for a new category of financial infrastructure.
• Competitive compensation including salary, future token rights, and/or equity, according to your preferences.
• Full medical, vision, and dental benefits, plus a flexible vacation policy.
• A remote-first environment with meaningful autonomy and influence over product and technical direction.
• Exceptional colleagues from leading companies.
• Backing from leading crypto experts and investors.
