About Footprint
We build Percy, an agent that runs financial-crimes investigations for banks and fintechs. It clears false positives, escalates real risk, and writes the case narrative and audit record a regulator will read. Under it sits four years of identity infrastructure: verification, an AWS Nitro Enclave-backed vault for PII, and the APIs our customers call directly. The backend is written in Rust.
We are backed by QED, Index, and BoxGroup. Our customers include FDIC- and OCC-regulated banks, as well as Bilt, Nuvei, and MoonPay.
Open Roles
We are hiring three Members of Technical Staff:
- Backend: Focus on the Rust APIs and services behind verification, vaulting, and the checks Percy runs. Production Rust experience is ideal; deep systems experience plus a strong desire to learn Rust also works. A background in crypto or systems-security is highly valued.
- Infrastructure: Own agent compute, isolation, deploys, and observability across Rust services and long-running agents. Tech stack includes: Rust, Postgres/Aurora, AWS (ECS/Fargate), Pulumi/Terraform, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry.
- Security: Protect identity data we vault on behalf of regulated banks and fintechs, and prove to auditors that every step was performed correctly.
