About Flagright

Flagright is Stripe for AML Compliance. It’s a risk-based transaction monitoring API that helps fintech startups quickly set up their compliance infrastructure. We are on a mission to make compliance a commodity and enable startups prevent financial crime globally.

About the role

Skills: Node.js, React, TypeScript, Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Regulatory compliance is often a challenging entry barrier for fintech startups. There are no providers that can deliver a high quality product focusing on startup pain points and constraints. As a result, fintech startups end up developing primitive tools in-house and invest time, money, and engineering resources in a fundamental need that doesn’t generate revenue.

We believe in enabling businesses to compete and innovate. We are on a mission to eliminate compliance-related entry barriers for startups globally and looking for an experienced Fullstack Software Engineer to join our team as a founding member.

Flagright helps fintech startups prevent financial crime and remain AML compliant while enabling them to grow revenue and manage risk appetite in real-time. It’s an API-first solution with a no-code back office portal. We provide real-time responses even for data-intensive, complex rules via a simple and extensible API on a usage-based pricing model. Flagright is a Y Combinator-backed company serving startups from four continents.
