Crossmint is the leading enterprise-grade, all-in-one stablecoin and wallet infrastructure platform enabling fintechs and enterprises to integrate stablecoin rails and smart wallets with speed, compliance, and scale.
Backed by Ribbit Capital, Franklin Templeton, NYCA, First Round, and Lightspeed Faction, with $23.6M raised in 2025. Trusted by more than 40,000 clients including global leaders such as MoneyGram, WireX, Toku, and more, Crossmint provides embedded smart wallets, on/offramps, cross-chain stablecoin orchestration, tokenization, and other blockchain primitives through simple, developer-friendly APIs that integrate in minutes and scale to millions of users.
In January 2026, Crossmint secured MiCA authorization from Spain's CNMV, becoming one of a select few stablecoin infrastructure providers fully licensed to operate across all 27 EU member states and held to the same regulatory standards as traditional financial institutions. Crossmint also powers the Republic of the Marshall Islands' first digital UBI program, backs MoneyGram's new stablecoin cross-border experience launching in LATAM, and recently partnered with WireX to expand multichain stablecoin payment infrastructure to non-EVM networks like Stellar.
The future of finance is stablecoin-native. Crossmint makes it easy to get there.
Location
We have offices in Madrid, and we are also open to a full remote setting from Spain.
Type of Employment
Full-time, indefinite contract.
The Role
We are looking for an EU AML Lead to take full ownership of Crossmint’s anti-money laundering framework across Europe. This is a senior, high-impact role with direct exposure to regulators, auditors, and executive leadership, reporting directly to the General Counsel.
You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and continuously improving Crossmint’s AML program as we scale across the EU under MiCA and beyond. This includes ensuring readiness for regulatory supervision, strengthening internal controls, and embedding AML best practices across products, operations, and partnerships.
The candidate will be immediately appointed AMLRO with SEPBLAC, becoming the named individual responsible for AML matters in Spain while supporting Crossmint’s broader European regulatory strategy.
Crossmint is a scale-up. This role combines strategic ownership with hands-on execution. You will set direction, but you will also personally review escalations, oversee complex onboardings, and ensure the program works in real-world conditions. If you want to build and lead AML at the center of programmable finance, this is that role.
What You’ll Do
Own EU AML Strategy and Execution Design, implement, and maintain Crossmint’s AML framework in line with EU directives, MiCA requirements, and local regulations. Partner closely with Legal to ensure policies, procedures, and controls scale with the business.
