Hadrius automates and consolidates securities compliance for investment firms. To do this, we’re building the automated back office for financial firms, using AI to analyze millions of data points from emails to text messages, marketing copy, investment accounts, filings, and more to identify regulatory violations.

Today, over 300+ financial institutions managing $4T+ AUM rely on Hadrius to automate their regulatory compliance. We’re the fastest growing company in the space and the emerging category leader, going from our launch out of the YC W23 batch to $XMs+ ARR in under 24 months and haven’t slowed down since. We have a world-class team and product competing against legacy software that hasn't innovated in decades, and are looking for exceptional people dedicated to our shared mission to join.

This is a full-time role as a Founding Operator, located onsite in New York, NY.

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial, systems-minded operator to own and scale the backbone of Hadrius’ operations across the company. You’ll be the engine that keeps the company running smoothly, enabling the founding team to move faster and make better decisions.

You’ll be responsible for building the processes, tools, and reporting infrastructure that keep every team—sales, product, partnerships, and leadership—aligned and executing at peak speed. This is a role for someone who thrives on solving hard problems, building from zero, and wearing multiple hats. Your responsibilities will evolve quickly as the business does: expect to move across diverse tasks and own ambiguous, high-leverage projects end-to-end.

You will work directly with the founding team to design and build the future of the financial system. We pride ourselves on having a culture that rewards impact and success generously. We’re focused first and foremost on empowering each other to do our best work, today and into the future. You'll be on a team that works incredibly hard and seeks other exceptional people excited to do the same.
