ABOUT GREENBOARD

At Greenboard, we're building the future of financial compliance. Greenboard is the unified, AI-native compliance operating system for RIAs, fintechs, private funds, hedge funds, and more. It replaces the fragmented mix of legacy tools and automates more than previously possible. By centralizing data and workflows, Greenboard helps firms reduce regulatory risk, simplify their technology stack, modernize how they run compliance, and save money.

Our founding team includes engineers who have scaled products at Amazon, Google, and multiple unicorn startups. We're backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Base10, and other top-tier investors, and have raised over $20M to date. Brand-name financial institutions already rely on Greenboard, and we're growing fast.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll be our first dedicated Automation engineer. Our customers are regulated financial institutions, which means a missed bug is not just a bad user experience. It can mean an incomplete books-and-records archive, a marketing review that never routed for approval, or an attestation that quietly failed to send. Quality is part of the product we sell.

You'll own how we test: the framework, the automated suites, and the release process, built from scratch and then embedded with the engineers who ship. You'll also help us solve something most automation engineers have never had to solve, which is how to test AI systems whose output is not deterministic.

There is no existing playbook here. If you like defining the standard rather than enforcing someone else's, this is the seat.
