About the role
About Luthor
Luthor builds AI-powered marketing compliance agents for fintechs, banks, investment advisors, and broker-dealers. Our AI streamlines approvals, helping teams publish content faster—without compliance bottlenecks.
In regulated industries, every piece of marketing—tweets, LinkedIn posts, blogs—requires compliance approval, often delaying go-to-market by weeks. These slowdowns cripple growth. We’ve found that 60-75% of compliance checks can be quickly automated with AI. The challenge now is achieving a model with 95%+ accuracy, and that’s what we’re building.
Our vision is to be the marketing compliance layer for the entire internet.
Today, Luthor is already trusted by leading firms with $5.7B+ in AUM, backed by strong capital, and growing fast. Join us at the ground floor.

This is startup life in its truest form: fast-paced, challenging, and immensely rewarding. You’ll take ownership of your work, see the immediate impact on customers, and help define the engineering culture for years to come.
