About the role

🟢 About Greenlite

Greenlite builds AI agents for financial crime investigations. Fintechs and banks use Greenlite agents to automate workflows like suspicious activity investigations, entity due diligence and regulatory reporting.

We've raised >$4M, generate significant annual recurring revenue and serve financial institutions across three continents -- all in under 3 months since launching. We're on a high-growth trajectory and we're looking for people who want to join us on the journey to building a billion-dollar company.

🌎 The Problem we’re trying to solve

Over $2 trillion is involved in money-laundering every year - that's about the size of the Canadian economy. Laundered money is the direct proceeds of some of the most heinous crimes in the world - like human trafficking, child pornography and war profiteering.

Unfortunately, with the tools we have today, we only catch 1% of it. Increasing this percentage would dramatically dent the profitability of these industries and protect more people from the harms they create.

🧑‍💻 How we’re solving this problem

Greenlite brings large language models to the fight against financial crime. Our AI agents equip financial services companies with investigative capacity to review suspicious activity, conduct entity due diligence and regulatory reporting.

📈 Why we’re hiring

Demand for Greenlite has exceeded our expectations and outpaced our ability to build the product. We’re looking for our very first backend engineer to join us as we apply the latest in LLMs technology to one of the most meaningful sectors in the world.

About Greenlite

Greenlite creates AI financial crime investigators. Our LLM agents help fintechs and banks investigate money laundering and terrorism financing more efficiently.

Globally, over $2 trillion dollars worth of money is laundered every year - that's about the size of the Canadian economy. Laundered money is the direct proceeds of some of the most heinous crimes in the world - like human trafficking, child pornography and war profiteering.

Unfortunately, with the tools we have today, we only catch 1% of it. Greenlite brings LLMs to this sector, allowing financial crime teams to investigate more suspicious activity in higher quality ways.

Specifically, Greenlite equips financial services companies with LLM agents that review suspicious activity, conduct entity due diligence and write audit-ready reports of each investigation.

We add critical capacity to compliance teams, allowing humans to focus on higher-priority, more meaningful initiatives.
