About Truss

Truss is a banking and payments network for blue-collar trades. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We're hiring a Junior Compliance Analyst to work our compliance case queue — reviewing documents, running KYC/KYB checks, and researching customers, following policy set by our fraud and risk team. This is a hands-on role for someone with at least a year of detail-heavy compliance, KYC, or fraud ops experience who wants to grow inside a payments company. This role is in person in Austin, TX starting January 1, 2027. Until then, it's remote. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 1+ years in compliance, KYC/KYB, AML, fraud operations, or banking operations
  • Strong attention to detail — you notice when a name, address, or date is slightly off
  • Clear written judgment: you can explain why you approved, declined, or escalated a case
  • Comfort working a queue with both speed and accuracy
  • Curiosity and good research instincts
  • Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship)
