Backed by Index.
About the role
For four years, our backend systems helped answer one question: should this company onboard this user? The clear cases were automated; the ambiguous ones went to a human who worked each case by hand. That's where the fraud worth catching tends to be.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years designing, building, and operating backend systems under real load - including debugging them when they broke
- You've shipped and operated an API that engineers on other teams or outside your company build against, and handled the compatibility problem when it had to change
- Privacy, security, and trust show up in your first design sketch
- You reason clearly about tradeoffs and chase failure modes other people call unlikely
- You've owned a service in production, including being the person paged for it
- You've conceded your own design to a better one and shipped it
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.
