About the role

Every dollar that moves through AngelList starts with a verified investor. KYC is not a back-office checkbox here; it sits on the critical path of every close, and it has to be fast enough that investors feel no friction and rigorous enough to defend to an auditor. We're hiring a KYC Operations Associate to help own that standard.

What they're looking for

  • Run KYC/KYB/CDD reviews end to end. Verify individual and entity investors, including identity, beneficial ownership, and sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening, accurately and within SLA, through volume spikes
  • Make the hard calls. Disposition screening hits and layered ownership structures, escalate cases needing enhanced due diligence, and document every decision well enough that an auditor could reconstruct it
  • Be the expert. Serve as a consistent, reliable KYC resource for internal teams and external stakeholders, with answers people can build on
  • Fix the system. Turn queue pain points into shipped product improvements with engineering and adapt to compliance policy changes
  • Design the system that replaces the queue. Build agents and automations against real KYC volume, watch where they fail, and iterate. You'll be expected to contribute to architecting this, not adopting it
More about this role

Private markets are the new public markets. The most important companies of this era are private, and almost no one can own them. What's missing is the financial system public markets spent a century building: exchanges, custodians, brokers, and ways for ordinary people to buy in. Private markets, now $28T, never had the equivalent. AngelList is building it.

The last decade of structural innovation in venture happened here: syndicates, SPVs at scale, Rolling Funds, scout programs. Today we have $200B+ in assets and 30,000+ startups funded on our platform. The rest of private markets is next. Funds is the software and services behind private funds, Nova is the banking network, Meridian is the wealth platform for accredited investors, and USVC is the brand behind a registered fund that lets anyone invest in venture.

Working here means an unusual amount of agency on a problem that matters. Titles are closer to suggestions, and there are about 200 of us building what private markets never had. Come build it with us.
