Jose has exceptional full-stack and infrastructure engineering chops with proven ability to build production systems at scale, plus relevant experience with compliance-adjacent work (emergency response, KYB-adjacent fraud prevention at Mycelium). However, he lacks direct experience with business identity verification, KYB/compliance domain knowledge, and agentic systems at the compliance level—his agent work has been data analytics and counseling focused rather than compliance orchestration. His founding engineer background suggests he may be overqualified for individual contributor roles and better suited for a leadership track.
Hook: Your background shipping real-time agents and compliance-critical systems at scale—plus hands-on infrastructure and customer-facing work—maps directly to building Middesk's agentic compliance platform.
Missing: KYB/compliance domain expertise, business identity verification systems, financial crime/fraud prevention specialization, regulatory compliance automation experience

Middesk | Full-time | NYC / SF | Hybrid | middesk.com At Middesk, we're building the business identity infrastructure that banks, fintechs, and platforms rely on to know who they're doing business with — powering KYB (Know Your Business) compliance, fraud prevention, and entity verification at scale. We're expanding beyond verification into a full agentic compliance platform — orchestrators and specialist agents that automate what used to be manual compliance review. Backed by YC, Sequoia, and Accel (Series B). We're a small, sharp team with high ownership — engineers work closely with customers and leadership, and get to see their work ship fast.
