Job description

Onyx is building the market for people who enjoy being right. Our consumer platform lets people take positions on what happens next across sports, prediction markets, crypto, financial markets, politics, culture, and real-world events.

More than one million users have already found Onyx, driving over $2 billion in monthly notional volume across our social sports platform. Now, we’re bringing that same energy into regulated financial markets through Onyx Predictions, a CFTC-registered introducing broker and NFA member.

In June 2026, we raised a $20 million Series A led by Payward, the parent company of Kraken, valuing Onyx at $220 million less than one year after emerging from beta. Our team comes from Jane Street, DraftKings, Robinhood, xAI, SIG, HRT, and Harvard.

We’re building Onyx in New York with a small team, serious momentum, and no interest in moving slowly. The product is live. The market is growing. The category is still ours to define.

The Role.

We’re looking for a Regulatory Compliance Associate to help build and run the processes that support our regulated business. You’ll work across compliance, legal, operations, product, and growth to turn regulatory requirements into clear procedures and reliable day-to-day controls. The work spans monitoring and testing, policy administration, employee training, record keeping, examination preparation, and review of external communications.

This is a hands-on role for someone who likes getting the details right and wants ownership as the compliance function grows. The position is based in New York City and requires working in person from our NoHo office.

What You'll Own:

• Conduct compliance monitoring and testing, document findings, and track issues through remediation.
• Assist in maintaining policies, procedures, controls, and records, including version control and scheduled reviews.
• Coordinate employee compliance training, certifications, and attestations.
• Help maintain regulatory calendars, reporting support, evidence, and examination ready documentation.
• Support regulatory examinations, audits, and inquiries by gathering records and coordinating responses.
• Work with legal, product, operations, and growth to build practical controls for new products and workflows.
• Identify gaps and improve repeatable processes as Onyx scales.

What We're Looking For:

• 2–5 years of experience in compliance, regulatory operations, or risk at a regulated financial services company, trading platform, fintech, or related environment.
• Experience with compliance monitoring, policy administration, regulatory record keeping, examination support, or similar operational work.
• Familiarity with CFTC and NFA requirements or a strong interest in developing expertise in regulated derivatives and prediction markets.
• Clear writing skills and the ability to maintain accurate policies, procedures, and control documentation.
• Strong organization, judgment, and follow-through across recurring obligations and fast-moving projects.
• Ability to work closely with teams outside compliance and turn requirements into processes people can use.

Location and Schedule:

• This role is based in our NoHo, Manhattan office, with core in-office days Tuesday through Thursday.
• This position includes participation in an on-call rotation and may require support during major sporting events, market-moving news, or production incidents.
• Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States. Onyx is unable to provide employment sponsorship for this position.

Compensation and Benefits:

• The anticipated base salary range for this position is $100,000 - $130,000 depending on experience, impact, and scope, plus target bonus and equity.

Benefits include:

• Fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Meaningful equity ownership.

Why Onyx?

Onyx is for people with conviction. We hire talented people, give them meaningful ownership, and expect them to use it. Our teams stay small, the work stays visible, and the distance between an idea and production stays short.

Onyx moves quickly because our markets move quickly. Titles matter less than judgment, initiative, and the quality of what you ship. Good ideas can come from anywhere, but the person willing to make the call is expected to follow it through.

We value people who are ambitious without ego, intellectually honest, comfortable with uncertainty, and energized by hard problems. We debate openly, decide quickly, and take responsibility for the result.
