Few people get to build a bank from scratch. Even fewer get to build one at a moment when banking itself is being reinvented.
The dollar is the best product in the history of the world with practically infinite global demand but distribution is broken. Global clearing runs on legacy banks that are closed 115 days a year built for humans and take two days to settle. Augustus is the update to the internet era. We received conditional approval from the OCC to charter Americas first stablecoin-native clearing bank that is always open made for machines at the speed of compute.
We are a group of operators unicorn early employees ex-founders and people who walked away from degrees because they believe this is an industry and career defining opportunity. Were backed with $40M from Peter Thiels Valar Ventures Creandum and founders of Ramp Deel and Circle.
We are regulated in Europe and live with Euro and Stablecoin clearing today. Now we are building the US team from the ground up while continuing to grow rapidly in Europe.
The Role
You sit inside the CEO office and work directly with the founders and senior leadership team on the most important topics at Augustus: strategy new opportunities and getting high-impact projects from idea to execution.
You own independent analyses drive strategic projects end to end and coordinate across the organisation to make things happen. The scope shifts with the companys priorities. One week youre deep in a market entry analysis the next youre pulling together the business case for a new product.
The Path Forward: Get deep into how the company works today - strategy operations product - and you are positioning yourself to own a P&L or product line as we scale.
Who Will Thrive At Augustus
We believe that throwing smart people with high agency at big problems produces the best outcomes. The people who succeed here share the following traits:
Relentless: You cant leave something broken. You dont stop because it got hard or because no one is watching.
Set The Bar: Youre harder on yourself than anyone else would be. You dont need external accountability to care about quality.
Shape The Game: You dont wait for a playbook and you dont need one. You walk into genuinely new territory and figure it out. You move before anyone asked you to.
Systems First: You dont solve problems by adding people or effort. You build systems that make the problem smaller. Your first instinct is to automate not to handle it manually.
This role is for you if:
You do the work yourself before you delegate it. Youre as comfortable in the details as you are in the room where the decision gets made.
You can walk into a conversation with senior leadership hold your own and leave with a clear next step.

Youre comfortable going from a blank page to a board-ready analysis without hand-holding.
You move fast communicate clearly and follow through without being chased.
You want broad exposure early: strategy product operations and everything in between.

You need a clearly defined scope to do your best work.
You prefer depth in one area over breadth across many.
Youre not comfortable presenting your work and defending your reasoning directly to senior leadership.
You want to work 9-5.
