Affiniti is building the financial operating system for small businesses across America, and we're doing it the right way. As our first dedicated compliance hire, you'll work directly with the Head of Legal to build the regulatory infrastructure from the ground up: covering customer onboarding, transaction monitoring, marketing reviews, regulatory filings, and everything in between. This isn't a box-checking role. You'll be embedded in a fast-moving team that treats compliance as a competitive advantage, not a speed bump. You’ll be collaborating with product, support, marketing, and external bank partners to keep us moving fast without cutting corners. If you want to be in the room when decisions get made and leave your fingerprints on how a scaling fintech builds its compliance foundation, this is for you.
Affiniti is building the financial operating system that allows small businesses to run their finances like a Fortune 500 company: through AI automation, smarter banking, and real time cash flow visibility. We’re passionate about leveling the financial playing field for SMBs. We have raised over $40M from investors such as SignalFire, Soma Capital, Indicator Ventures. We are a rapidly growing team having more than doubled our revenue in every year of operation.
