Why this role exists
AngelList is building the financial infrastructure for private markets. As the platform grows, traditional compliance approaches don't scale. Static policies and manual checklists cannot keep pace with complex software systems.
We are hiring a technical builder to design and implement automated assurance systems — tools and agentic systems that continuously verifies that our platform behaves as intended.
Instead of writing policies, you will build systems that test systems.
This role sits at the intersection of:
-
software engineering
-
financial regulation
-
systems reliability
-
AI-driven automation
If you enjoy building testing infrastructure, verification frameworks, and intelligent monitoring systems, this role is for you.
What You’ll Do:

- compliance professionals at leading edge leveraging agentic coding
-
