Principal Product Manager – Compliance (KYC/AML) Platform

KAST is redefining stablecoin banking for global citizens, crypto professionals, Web3-native businesses, and high-inflation markets hungry for USD-backed banking. Backed by top-tier global investors and led by the ex-APAC CEO of Circle, our leadership team spans Circle, Airwallex, Revolut, Wise, Grab, Zoom, AWS, and leading OTC desks. We’ve scaled from zero to nearly a million users at ridiculous speed.

By building directly on-chain, we deliver what traditional rails can’t: instant yield, flexible collateralized lending, and richer investment products. With a premium user focus and a culture built on velocity × excellence, we’re moving fast to outpace legacy players and build the next generation of financial services.

We’re hiring a Principal Product Manager – Compliance (KYC/AML) to own the systems that enable KAST to onboard users globally with speed and trust. You will be responsible for our entire identity verification and anti-money laundering infrastructure, ensuring we meet the highest global regulatory standards and the requirements of our financial partners.

Your mission: build a world-class compliance engine that balances a seamless user experience with robust, scalable controls. You will orchestrate a multi-vendor strategy, define our AML monitoring rules, and drive innovation to make KAST the gold standard for compliance in stablecoin banking.

At KAST, ideas are worth zero. Execution at ridiculous speed is everything. This is a role for a leader who can navigate complex regulations, build strong partnerships, and ship mission-critical infrastructure.

• Own the end-to-end KYC/CDD product, from initial identity verification to ongoing due diligence and risk scoring.
• Integrate and orchestrate multiple KYC/AML vendors (e.g., SumSub, Onfido, Chainalysis, ComplyAdvantage) to optimize for pass rates, cost, and regional compliance.
• Define and iterate on AML rules and workflows, including transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and risk-based alerting.

• 10-12+ years in product management, with at least 5+ years in compliance, KYC/AML, or identity for a fintech or crypto company.
• Proven track record building regulatory-grade compliance systems that scale globally.
• Deep, hands-on experience with compliance vendors (KYC: SumSub, Onfido, Jumio | AML: Elliptic, Chainalysis, ComplyAdvantage, etc.).
• Strong knowledge of global regulatory standards (e.g., KYC, AML, FATF, GDPR) and experience working directly with compliance officers and legal counsel.
• An entrepreneurial mindset: ruthless prioritization, a bias to ship, and the ability to innovate within a regulated environment.

• Build the compliance platform at the heart of a global, stablecoin-first challenger bank.
• Lead one of the most mission-critical functions in fintech and Web3.
• High ownership, zero bureaucracy, direct impact.
• Competitive comp + meaningful equity
