SANDBAR:

Sandbar’s mission is to improve the health of the global financial system by fighting money laundering and other financial crimes.
By law, financial institutions must monitor transactions for illicit activity. However, most institutions find it difficult to do so effectively. Roughly $6T is laundered every year and $180B is spent on anti-money-laundering efforts by US institutions. Despite this, less than 1% of laundered money is identified correctly. We are also seeing many systems produce false-positive rates of over 95%. Consequently, banks and the government must spend extra time and resources on extraneous investigations, taking away resources from finding criminals.

YOU:

We are looking for engineers who are excited about building a company from the ground up. As a founding engineer at Sandbar, you’ll be responsible for defining and building features in our product to enable our customers to model and detect suspicious activity on their platforms. You’ll work cross-functionally, collaborating with members of the team who have expertise in the subject matter, product management, design, infrastructure and security, to solve real-world problems our customers face. You’ll have a lot of autonomy and freedom. You will learn and touch every part of the stack; we need someone who is comfortable being a “Swiss Army knife”. As we grow, you will be able to determine your own path and build skills you want to develop by directing your career growth and specialization.

• Work with a broad range of technologies and systems to own and solve problems end-to-end.
• Work closely with engineers, designers, and product managers to build new features in our product and data platform.
• Contribute to our technical vision and uphold our high engineering standards.
