Responsibilities & more

About Kira: Kira’s mission is bold: to leverage blockchain to bank the 1 billion underbanked. We’ve built the first all-in-one infrastructure for launching embedded fintech products—supercharged by vertical AI agents and stablecoins. We’re led by payment executives from Stori Card and the founders of Littio and Arcus (sold to Mastercard). Backed by top-tier investors, we’re scaling fast—and we’re looking for a compliance powerhouse to help us expand in the U.S. The Role: We’re seeking an experienced U.S. Compliance Consultant with deep expertise in financial regulations, AML/KYB processes, and money transmitter licensing (MTL) to guide us through a critical phase of growth. You’ll be our strategic compliance partner—ensuring we meet (and exceed) regulatory expectations, keeping our payment partner relationships secure, and laying the groundwork for national expansion. What You’ll Do: * Strengthen AML & KYB Processes: Review, refine, and implement robust AML/KYB programs that satisfy both state regulators and payment partners—ensuring zero account disruptions. * Launch MTL Licensing Process: Lead the step-by-step process of obtaining Money Transmitter Licenses in key U.S. states. * Secure a Sponsor Bank: Leverage your network and expertise to identify and onboard the right sponsor bank for our business model. * Crypto Compliance: Advise on AML best practices for blockchain- and stablecoin-based products, ensuring compliance with FinCEN and state-level requirements. * Regulator & Partner Liaison: Handle inquiries, examinations, or sanctions notices from state banking departments with speed and precision. * Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify compliance gaps and implement measures to address them before they become issues. What We’re Looking For: * 5+ years of experience in U.S. fintech or payments compliance, preferably with crypto/virtual asset exposure. * Proven track record in MTL applications, sponsor bank onboarding, and regulatory relationship management. * Deep knowledge of AML/KYB frameworks, KYC technology, and risk management for money services businesses. * Hands-on experience navigating inquiries from state banking departments. * Strong understanding of FinCEN guidelines, OFAC sanctions screening, and state-by-state regulatory nuances. * Exceptional communication skills and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset. Why Work With Us? * Shape compliance for one of the most exciting blockchain-powered fintech companies in the Americas. * Directly influence how we scale in the U.S. without losing operational agility. * Work with a team that values speed, precision, and trust. * Enjoy a flexible, remote-first environment with competitive compensation.
