Job description

We are developing payment services at the intersection of digital assets, stablecoins and financial technology. We are building the operational processes, systems and compliance framework that support a responsible and well-governed fintech business.We are looking for two motivated interns to join our team onsite in Vienna. This is an opportunity to gain practical experience in an international environment and learn how compliance, technology and financial operations work together.

The opportunity

You will support our Compliance and Operations teams with administrative, organisational and operational tasks, helping translate policies and requirements into everyday business processes. Your work will provide exposure to anti-money laundering (AML), the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). You do not need prior knowledge of these frameworks: curiosity, reliability and a willingness to learn matter more than specialist experience.This is a supervised junior role, with responsibilities developing as your knowledge and confidence grow.

What you will do

• Support documentation and coordination: Maintain document registers, organise supporting records, update action trackers and help prepare materials for internal reviews and meetings.
• Assist with compliance operations: Help organise customer due diligence documentation, check records for completeness and track outstanding information under the guidance of experienced colleagues.
• Contribute to operational resilience activities: Help maintain systems and supplier inventories, coordinate access review records and organise evidence relating to technology controls, training and business continuity exercises.
• Work with data and systems: Update spreadsheets, check data quality, prepare straightforward reports and help identify ways to improve recurring administrative tasks.
• Support process development: Assist with process maps, working instructions and checklists that make day-to-day activities clear and consistent.
• Help the team stay organised: Record meeting actions, follow up on deadlines and coordinate inputs across Compliance, Operations and Technology.

All activities will be carried out with appropriate guidance and review. Regulatory decisions, customer approvals and specialist assessments remain with the responsible staff.

What we are looking for

• A student, recent graduate or early-career applicant interested in fintech, digital assets, compliance or business operations.
• An organised and dependable approach, with strong attention to detail.
• A willingness to ask questions, follow instructions and take ownership of assigned tasks.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word, and an interest in learning new systems.
• Clear communication skills and a good working command of English; German is an advantage.
• Discretion and care when handling confidential business and customer information.
• Availability to work onsite at our Vienna office.

Relevant studies may include business, law, finance, economics, information systems or data analytics, but we welcome applicants from other backgrounds.

Helpful, but not essential

Any exposure to cryptocurrency, blockchain, payments or financial services would be valuable—including through personal interest, coursework or independent projects. Experience with administrative work, data analysis, reporting tools or basic automation would also be welcome.

Previous compliance experience is not required.

What you will gain

• Practical experience in a crypto and fintech business.
• Guidance from experienced colleagues and exposure to several business functions.
• An understanding of how AML, MiCAR and DORA requirements are supported through operational processes.
• Opportunities to develop skills in documentation, data handling, systems and cross-team coordination.
• Meaningful responsibilities suited to your experience, with room to learn and contribute ideas.
