## 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
