About the role
Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken. Global clearing runs on legacy banks that are closed 115 days a year, built for humans and take two days to settle. Augustus is the update to the internet era. We received conditional approval from the OCC to charter America’s first stablecoin-native clearing bank that is always open, made for machines, at the speed of compute. We are a group of operators, unicorn early employees, ex-founders and people who walked away from degrees because they believe this is an industry and career defining opportunity. We're backed with $40M from Peter Thiel’s Valar Ventures, Creandum and founders of Ramp, Deel and Circle. We are regulated in Europe and live with Euro and Stablecoin clearing today. Now, we are building the US team from the ground up, while continuing to grow rapidly in Europe.
The Role You'll join one of our core teams - CEO Office, Operations, Product, Growth, or Talent - and own real work from day one. Like everyone at Augustus, you'll run day-to-day work in parallel with one or two larger projects. Recent projects run by interns: Rebuilt our talent engine and cut time-to-fill from 82 days to 34. Took a new product from first customer call to production launch. Relaunched our CRM to drive data accuracy. Built the sales case behind our largest deals. Who Will Thrive At Augustus We believe that throwing smart people with high agency at big problems produces the best outcomes. The people who succeed here share the following traits: Relentless: You can't leave something broken. You don't stop because it got hard or because no one is watching. Set The Bar: You're harder on yourself than anyone else would be. You don't need external accountability to care about quality. Shape The Game: You don't wait for a playbook and you don't need one. You've walked into genuinely new territory and figured it out. You move before anyone asked you to. Systems First: You don't solve problems by adding people or effort. You build systems that make the problem smaller. Your first instinct is to automate, not to handle it manually. This role is for you if: You are low ego and ready to jump in where you are needed most. You build your personal AI stack that optimises your productivity and you treat new AI tools as defaults, not curiosities. You can build workflows in n8n/zapier/make. You are comfortable talking to senior leaders, external partners, and candidates from day one. You are genuinely excited about what we are building. This is not for you if: You only want to work on strategic projects. You need to know exactly what you will be working on before you join. You are looking for a 9-5 role. Hard
