Our infrastructure makes stablecoins usable in the real-world by powering card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient. You will have the opportunity to deliver massive impact at a hypergrowth company that is funded by some of the top investors in fintech, crypto, and SaaS, including Sapphire Ventures, Norwest, Galaxy Ventures, Lightspeed, Khosla, and several more. If you're curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial future, we'd love to talk.

We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.

The Regulatory Compliance team is responsible for ensuring that Rain's products, operations, and customer-facing practices meet the requirements of applicable laws, regulations, and card network rules. We work closely with product, legal, operations, and customer experience teams to build compliant-by-design programs and resolve issues before they become regulatory problems. Our work spans the full lifecycle of a payment card product from how it's marketed and onboarded to how disputes are handled and complaints are resolved.

The Regulatory Compliance Specialist will report directly to the Manager of Regulatory Compliance and will serve as a key contributor on card network rules compliance, consumer protection requirements, and complaint support. This is an analyst-level role well-suited for someone early in their compliance career who wants broad exposure to the regulatory obligations of a card-issuing fintech.
