Quick Summary

Overview

Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented. The dollar is the best product in the history of the world, with practically infinite global demand, but distribution is broken.

Key Responsibilities

You are the second credit hire at Augustus. You will build the credit function from zero alongside the Chief Credit Officer: the framework, the products, the workflows, and eventually the team.

Technical Tools

  • You communicate clearly and concisely.

  • You notice an issue and solve it before it becomes a problem - you don't wait to be told.

  • You're detail oriented and data driven - you care about getting the small details right.

  • You're AI native - you're already using the latest tools in your work and want to build on top of these platforms.

  • You want to build a lending business from zero to one.

  • You want to work with the most cutting edge companies in the blockchain space.

  • You want to use a modern technology stack in a banking context.

  • You want to create new lending products and launch them.

  • You want a front row seat on how decisions are made at a regulated bank.

  • You want to follow old playbooks or do things the way they've always been done.

  • You'd rather manage a team than do the work yourself.

  • You want to do everything in Word and Excel and not leverage AI.

  • You like to take weeks to underwrite a new deal.
