About the role
Footprint's AI agent, Percy, investigates financial crime for the largest fintechs and financial institutions. Percy is only as good as the data behind it, and the best data isn't easily accessible. Somebody has to find those sources, figure out which vendors are real and which are noise, negotiate the terms, and get signed agreements to engineering.
What they're looking for
- 1-4 years of analytical work under real time pressure: investment banking, consulting, private equity, a startup, or an operating seat at a fast-growing company
- You're a high-agency operator: you've spotted a gap nobody owned, filled it without being asked, and can point to what changed because you did
- You've owned an ambiguous, cross-functional problem end to end and driven it to an outcome you can walk us through
- Excellent written and verbal communication, you can run a vendor call and write the recommendation memo afterward
- You're intellectually curious and learn fast: you can get up to speed on a completely unfamiliar domain within weeks
More about this role
Footprint is the agentic platform that learns your compliance program and runs it end to end.
Compliance teams at banks and fintechs are drowning in financial crimes investigations. Transaction volumes are surging, regulators keep raising the bar, and the work still runs on manual review queues stitched together from legacy vendors. Percy, our agentic system, learns each team's procedures and makes the same calls their analysts would: clearing false positives, escalating real risk, writing the case narrative, and documenting every decision for audit. It cuts review workloads by 70%+.
The harder problem is underneath. Every investigation is grounded in the data sources compliance teams already trust, and every case commits to an organizational memory that compounds — so a pattern one analyst caught in March surfaces automatically in October, across KYC, EDD, sanctions, and monitoring. Whether the team is five analysts or 500, they share one brain. Every memory carries provenance. Agents propose; humans approve. That's four years of identity infrastructure sitting under the agent, and it's the part nobody can bolt on later.
