The case for the build-out is operator-driven. Partners scaling into regulated lanes need a responsive counterparty, with engineering and compliance working closely together. The expanded team is that counterparty.
The first wave covers platform engineering and the AI-risk team — the people who ship pricing, exposure and market-making models that touch a number every second. A compliance-and-KYC team lands in Q2, followed by an AI-risk lab and a payments-rails team across the year.
This is a build-out of teams we have run for years, not a standing start. Roles are open at /careers.
