About Crossmint

In the 2000s, the world came online. Now, it’s coming onchain—and we’re making it happen, faster.

Crossmint is a one-stop-shop developer platform for companies building onchain. We completely remove the complexity of building and using blockchain applications. Our platform provides all of the infrastructure companies need to build apps that scale to millions, without needing to orchestrate multiple vendors. It lets them create experiences that mirror the traditional web with familiar features like FaceID and email sign-ups, while eliminating gas fees and other friction points.

Our suite includes wallets, payments, onboarding, on/off ramps, tokenization, AI agent infrastructure, and other essential onchain building blocks, across 40+ blockchains.

We’re building a world where companies can get their entire blockchain backend, through a few lines of code, to build the next generation of the internet. Join us!

Regulatory Compliance & Risk Management

Continuously research and interpret evolving regulations (MiCA, DORA, GDPR, etc.) to integrate them into our internal control frameworks.

Develop and maintain risk assessment protocols, ensuring timely detection and mitigation of financial, operational, and compliance risks.

Implement second-level permanent controls and maintain real-time monitoring dashboards (KPIs) for effective internal oversight.

Process Optimization & Collaboration

Analyze existing compliance and operational processes, identifying opportunities to optimize and increase efficiency.

Partner with Finance, Legal, and Security teams to integrate new regulatory requirements and best practices seamlessly.

Support training and quality assurance for both in-house and external teams, ensuring consistent adherence to control standards.

Reporting & Stakeholder Engagement

Prepare detailed reports on control findings, suspicious activity analyses, and regulatory updates for senior management.

Act as a liaison with regulators, external auditors, and internal teams, communicating compliance priorities and risk exposures clearly.

Escalate critical compliance or control issues to leadership and propose data-driven solutions.

What We’re Looking For

4+ years of experience in compliance, internal controls, risk management, audit, or a related field (public accounting or consulting background a plus).

Demonstrated expertise in KYC/KYB, AML, sanctions screening, and fraud detection, with the ability to translate findings into actionable improvements.

Familiarity with SOC 2, GDPR, VASP, MiCA, DORA, ISO, and other relevant frameworks, plus exposure to blockchain or crypto regulations.

Strong analytical and communication skills, capable of engaging stakeholders with varying levels of technical expertise.

Experience with on-chain analysis and blockchain security tools is highly desirable (e.g., Elliptic, Chainalysis, Persona Identities, Notabene).

Relevant certifications (e.g., CAMS, CISA, CIA) are a plus.

Self-driven, highly organized, and passionate about building secure, compliant financial ecosystems.
