Remote (US)

Job Blurb

Join Expensify’s Compliance Team and solve real problems for customers as we expand into new markets. You’ll help us work through regulatory requirements in a way that supports product growth, protects the business, and keeps things moving. This is a role for someone who likes hard problems and wants to be leading conversations that shape how we design new features.

Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept

Join our passionate team of compliance experts to help people spend less time managing expenses and more time pursuing their real goals. As we revolutionize the way people manage their expenses, being part of the Expensify team means building the easiest, fastest, and most efficient platform to automate everything expense-related.

Compliance & Risk Generalist Overview

At the beginning you’ll spend your time owning the recurring chores already in place that keep Expensify operating: working through banking partner audits, maintaining certifications, completing due diligence, preparing regulatory filings, reviewing feature proposals, and handling new operational tasks that come as we launch new features.

As you settle in, you’ll collaborate cross functionally on projects and eventually lead through the initial design to launch. Some projects will be large, others will be small, but success in this role comes from making the entire team and product more effective over time rather than simply maintaining the status quo. Our goal on this team is to find practical, defensible ways to move the product forward.

What Makes This Opportunity Special

Operate with autonomy. We’re a small team. You’ll be trusted to prioritize your work, exercise judgment, and solve problems without waiting for someone else to tell you what to do

Own meaningful work. From regulatory reporting and vendor oversight to transaction monitoring and product reviews, your decisions will directly impact how Expensify operates and grows

Join during a period of growth. As we continue expanding our money transmitter licensing footprint, this team is building and scaling the compliance program that supports operating under our own MTLs

Help bake compliance in from the start. You’ll partner on work across teams at Expensify when features and processes are designed, making sure compliance is part of the conversation early instead of layered on after launch

Build compliance into how we operate. You’ll work directly with teams across Expensify as new features and processes take shape, helping make the right compliance calls early without slowing things down

About You

You’ve worked on a compliance team in a fast-moving fintech, payments, or similarly regulated technology company and are ready to dive into a role where compliance is a strategic partner, not just a control function

You enjoy rolling up your sleeves and doing the work. You’re not looking to manage a team or spend all day in meetings

Repetitive work doesn’t bother you because you see it as an opportunity. Once you’ve mastered a process, your instinct is to simplify it, automate it, or eliminate unnecessary steps

You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, documenting your reasoning, and asking for help when the research you’ve done still doesn’t bring certainty

You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical teammates alike, explaining regulatory requirements in a way that helps people make better decisions rather than just follow rules

You thrive in a highly autonomous environment where priorities change, new problems appear, and nobody is dictating what your top priority should be
