Job description

About the Company

Rain makes the next generation of payments possible across the globe. We're a lean and mighty team of passionate builders and veteran founders. Our infrastructure makes stablecoins usable in the real-world by powering card transactions, cross-border payments, B2B purchases, remittances, and more. We partner with fintechs, neobanks, and institutions to help them launch solutions that are global, inclusive, and efficient. You will have the opportunity to deliver massive impact at a hypergrowth company that is funded by some of the top investors in fintech, crypto, and SaaS, including Sapphire Ventures, Norwest, Galaxy Ventures, Lightspeed, Khosla, and several more. If you're curious, bold, and excited to help shape a borderless financial future, we'd love to talk.

Our Ethos

We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.

The role

We're hiring a Product Compliance Manager to make sure every product Rain ships is compliant by design. You'll sit between Product, Engineering, Legal and Compliance, turning regulations and card network rules into clear product requirements before code is written, not after launch.

Rain moves fast: partners go live in weeks, and new products like embedded wallets, credit and prepaid programs, and agent-issued virtual cards keep coming. You'll own the compliance review that lets that speed hold up with regulators, the networks, our bank partners and auditors.

What you'll do

• Own product compliance reviews. Assess new products, features and partner programs end to end, from PRD to launch, and sign off on the compliance requirements each one needs.
• Translate rules into requirements. Turn regulations and network rules into concrete specs, controls and acceptance criteria that Product and Engineering can build against.
• Keep card programs network‑compliant. Own adherence to Visa and Mastercard operating rules as a Principal Member, including program approvals, network registrations and periodic attestations.
• Cover consumer protection. Apply Reg E, Reg Z, TILA, UDAAP, ECOA and state requirements to cardholder agreements, disclosures, fees, rewards and dispute flows.
• Review partner programs. Assess partner use cases, marketing materials, cardholder terms and onboarding flows before launch, and monitor them after.
• Partner with Financial Crimes. Make sure KYC/KYB, sanctions screening and transaction monitoring requirements are built into products such as wallets, payouts, onramps and offramps.
• Track the landscape. Follow stablecoin, payments and money transmission developments in the US and abroad, including federal stablecoin rules and MiCA, and flag what changes our roadmap.
• Build the program. Maintain product compliance policies, the review process, a product risk inventory and the evidence trail that bank partners, networks, regulators and auditors ask for.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years in product compliance, regulatory compliance or a similar role at a fintech, card issuer, program manager, sponsor bank or payments company.
• Hands‑on knowledge of card issuing: Visa and/or Mastercard operating rules, prepaid and credit programs, and the issuer‑processor‑program manager model.
• Working knowledge of US consumer financial regulation, including Reg E, Reg Z, UDAAP and state money transmission rules.
• A track record of reviewing products before launch and writing requirements that engineers actually build from.
• Sound judgment on risk: you know when to say "yes, if" and when to say no, and you can explain both.
• Clear writing for very different readers, from an engineer's ticket to a bank partner's due diligence questionnaire.

Nice to have, but not mandatory

• Experience with stablecoins, digital assets or crypto‑linked card programs.
• Exposure to international regimes such as MiCA, UK FCA rules or APAC payments licensing.
• Background at a Principal Member issuer or sponsor bank, including network audits or bank partner exams.
• Familiarity with BSA/AML, OFAC and FinCEN requirements.
• A JD or a certification such as CAMS or CRCM.
• Comfort reading API docs and working inside tools like Linear, Jira or Notion.

Things that enable a fulfilling, healthy, and happy experience at Rain:

• Unlimited time off Unlimited vacation can be daunting, so we require Rainmakers to take at least 10 days off.
• Flexible working We support a flexible workplace. If you feel comfortable at home, please work from home. If you'd like to work with others in an office, feel free to come in. We want everyone to be able to work in the environment in which they are their most confident and productive selves. New Rainmakers will receive a stipend to create a comfortable home environment.
• Easy to access benefits For US Rainmakers, we offer comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents, as
