Our client is a well-financed, seed-stage startup building a platform of agents that automate financial crime investigations and compliance workflows. The company is a Delaware corporation that currently operates with remote teams distributed across the United States and Canada. They are a hard-charging startup that has raised $6.2M, grew to $1M in ARR in under one year, and has marquee clients around the globe including Kraken (US), Koho (Canada), and Viva (EU).
Their product enables customers to invoke (or “hire”) agents that automate AML, sanctions screening, adverse media monitoring, KYC, and transaction screening and monitoring. The solution combats revenue losses that result from high-friction customer onboarding and the rising costs of compliance missteps, and allows growing businesses to scale revenues rapidly without making compliance tradeoffs. The product is not versioned for customers, and the engineering team deploys daily.
The company is led by an experienced founder who has raised more than $100M to date and has grown their last venture to a $1.5B valuation. Both the founder and CTO have led fintechs that required large compliance teams and have had outlier experience in the domain. As of November 2025, the company does not yet have any direct competitors in its space.

What you need to know about the Calgary Tech Scene
Employees can spend up to one-third of their life at work, so choosing the right company is crucial, not just for the job itself but for the company culture as well. While startups often offer dynamic culture and growth opportunities, large corporations provide benefits like career development and networking, especially appealing to recent graduates. Fortunately, Calgary stands out as a hub for both, recognized as one of Startup Genome's Top 100 Emerging Ecosystems, while also playing host to a number of multinational enterprises. In Calgary, job seekers can find a wide range of opportunities.
