Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO)

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 from

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
