Job description

Why Casca?

Casca is building AGI for banking. We’re replacing decades-old legacy systems with AI-native technology that automates 90% of the manual work humans once had to do.

The Mission

Casca was founded by a team of Banking IT experts and AI researchers from Stanford University, Georgia Tech, and Goldman Sachs who believe that the future of banking is AI-native. Backed by Canapi, Y Combinator and top 100 US Banks, we're revolutionizing the $7T lending industry through GenAI systems - killing traditional lending software as we know it.

This is your chance to lead the digital transformation of America's largest financial institutions. You'll bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI innovation and traditional banking operations, orchestrating implementations that turn months-long loan processes into minutes-long decisions.

Join us in building something unprecedented – where deployment drives industry revolution.

What you’ll do:

Ship AI That Rewrites How Banks Work

• Deploy Casca's AI loan origination platform inside Tier 1 banks — you'll be the person on the ground when legacy systems that took decades to build get replaced in months
• Translate cutting-edge AI capabilities into real bank workflows, bridging the gap between what our models can do and what compliance, operations, and IT teams need to see
• Partner with our forward deployed team on technical delivery: environment setup, core banking integrations, API specifications, data mapping — you're not coordinating from afar, you're in it
• Partner directly with engineering to shape how our platform evolves — your client deployments feed the product roadmap

Build the Playbook

• You're not following a deployment methodology — you're writing it. The frameworks you create will scale across every bank we onboard
• Drive cross-functional coordination across engineering, compliance, legal, and bank leadership simultaneously
• Surface risks early, kill blockers fast, and keep complex multi-stakeholder programs moving

Be the Expert in the Room

• Walk into rooms with C-suite banking executives as the authority on AI-powered lending — you'll know their systems, their pain points, and how to move them forward faster than anyone else
• Own ambiguity. When stakeholders conflict or requirements are murky, you resolve it — not elevate it
• Become fluent in the regulatory, legacy, and organizational landscape that makes banking hard, so you can make our AI land anyway

What you bring:

• 4+ years of management consulting experience at a leading firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc.) or deployment leadership experience at a top tech company
• Proven track record managing large-scale software development and / or implementation projects ($5M+)
• Strong cross-functional team leadership skills (business & engineering)
• Outstanding communication and presentation abilities

Bonus points:

• Background in fintech or lending industry
• Experience with AI‑related projects
• Previous experience at a high‑growth startup
• MBA from a top‑tier program

What you’ll get:

• Impact & Ownership: A unique opportunity to shape the future of banking through AI, owning end-to-end product initiatives.
• Collaborative Environment: Work alongside a talented and passionate team that values continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.
• Competitive Compensation: Includes salary, benefits, and potential equity in a fast-growing startup.
• Professional Growth: Access to resources and mentorship to expand your skill set, influence strategy, and accelerate your career.
• Culture of Innovation: We encourage risk-taking, learning from failures, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in fintech.

As an early‑stage company building at the frontier of AI, we work with high intensity and commitment. While schedules can vary by role/team, many weeks will demand extra focus, flexibility and time particularly during major launches and high impact sprints. We're seeking those who are aligned to and able to commit to that expectation.
