We work in-person at our San Francisco office five days a week, believing the best ideas and fastest learning happen through side-by-side collaboration. We challenge each other daily and build innovative products together.

Greenlite builds AI agents that help financial services companies manage risk and compliance and fight financial crime. We serve major clients like Ramp, Mercury, and other major U.S. financial institutions, helping them grow while maintaining financial system integrity. Backed by Greylock, Y Combinator, and Thomson Reuters, we're among the fastest-growing AI companies globally.

We value people who:

Take action quickly, learning by doing rather than seeking perfection

Think boldly to reimagine financial services

Deeply understand customer needs to build elegant solutions

Show potential and continuous growth, not just experience

We've brought together exceptional builders from Palantir, SpaceX, Stripe, Airbnb, Meta, Uber, and Databricks to tackle financial system challenges. Our AI agents fight financial crime by automating suspicious activity investigations, entity due diligence, and regulatory reporting, helping banks and fintechs protect the integrity of the global financial system.

Our team combines technical excellence with practical problem-solving, low-ego collaboration, relentless curiosity, and autonomous work. We're seeking diverse perspectives that elevate our collective capabilities. Greenlite is an equal opportunity employer welcoming applicants from all backgrounds.

About the role

As a Platform Engineer at Greenlite, you'll build core infrastructure and services that power AI agents helping banks and fintechs fight financial crime at massive scale. You'll work directly with our biggest customers—institutions serving over a billion people—creating scalable, reusable systems that enable rapid development across our product suite. Your infrastructure work is informed by real customer needs and ships to everyone, so you need to build reliable systems, work effectively with engineering and product teams, understand enterprise security requirements, and adapt quickly.

You're an exceptional platform engineer who understands that financial institutions need rock-solid infrastructure when deploying AI for compliance workflows. You'll focus on creating regulated platforms for AI agents, scaling alongside rapid growth, and laying the foundation of trust that financial institutions require. You're not just building infrastructure—you're architecting systems based on what our most sophisticated customers actually need for security, reliability, and performance.
