- Act as a technology generalist, bringing our vision to life will be a challenge

- We strongly believe in a person's ability to grow but we would like to see at least 7-10 years of professional software engineering experience

- You will be architecting our customer facing portal which will be used by the largest Fintechs and financial companies in the world

- Workday must overlap by at least 5 hours with New York, NY, USA
Our take
The demand for financial compliance tools has increased dramatically since the Financial Crisis. Yet, current technology offerings fail to capture the way officials dealing with this issue actually work.
In response, Themis offers pay-as-you-go compliance for banks, fintechs, and crypto startups. In particular, Themis allows compliance-focused employees to manage workflows effectively while emphasizing collaboration amongst compliance staff both within firms and between them and their partners and regulators.
The company is now focused on expanding its compliance features to focus on crypto startups. In the opinion of Themis’s leadership, there is a great deal more work to be done in this area beyond just the current focus on know-your-customer and anti-money laundering efforts.

Company values
- Governance and risk is not a traditionally exciting space however the Themis founding team has a history together which makes building the product fun and approachable.
- By default, we believe in people and give them every opportunity to grow. We believe Themis will succeed when team members are given autonomy to solve problems creatively.
- We encourage people to research and leverage innovative tools that can be applied to a traditionally sleepy industry.
- We are focused on speed and quality and are not afraid to cut scope to uphold our standards. To achieve these standards we use modern tools with minimal processes and focus on the problems of the day.
- And most importantly, we want you to bring your personality to work and have fun!
