At Breeze, we're building the AI-powered infrastructure layer for global commerce, making it radically simpler for businesses to sell, get paid, and operate across markets.
We go far beyond traditional payment processing. Breeze combines global payments, AI, stablecoins, and a Merchant of Record-like model to take on the complexity businesses typically manage themselves, including compliance, risk, fraud, chargebacks, reconciliation, and customer support.
Our goal is simple: let businesses focus on building and selling great products while Breeze handles the complexity behind getting paid.
Backed by Sequoia Capital, Multicoin Capital, and The Chainsmokers, Breeze is a successful, rapidly growing, and exceptionally well-capitalized company. We have the runway to think long term while remaining early enough that every person joining today can have a meaningful impact on what we build.
Overview
We’re hiring a Head of Compliance to build and lead the compliance function that will help Breeze scale across products, markets, and geographies.
This is a high-impact leadership role with real ownership and a seat at the table. You’ll own Breeze’s compliance program end to end, from BSA/AML and financial crimes to licensing, regulatory examinations, and international expansion, while helping the business move quickly without taking on unnecessary regulatory risk.
You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Risk, Operations, and executive leadership to turn complex regulatory requirements into practical solutions that enable the business. As Breeze expands across the U.S., Europe, Singapore, and new markets, you’ll help determine how we enter, what we need to build, and how we scale responsibly.
We’re looking for a hands-on compliance leader who combines deep regulatory expertise with a builder mentality. Someone who can set the strategy, engage confidently with regulators and partners, develop a strong team, and still get into the details when needed.
If you’re excited to build, not just maintain, and want to shape the compliance foundation behind a fast-growing global payments company, we’d love to meet you.

Our Compensation Philosophy!
We believe compensation should be fair, competitive, consistent, and transparent. We benchmark compensation against the market and establish thoughtful bands for each role, with compensation reflecting experience, skills, location, role scope, and expected impact. We don't believe pay should primarily depend on how aggressively someone negotiates. Eligible employees receive meaningful equity, so the people building Breeze can participate in the long-term value they help create.
Benefits & Perks
Breeze is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees without regard to race, color, religion or creed, national origin, ancestry, citizenship or immigration status, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, marital or partnership status, caregiver status, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status, height or weight, sexual and reproductive health decisions, status as a victim of domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
Breeze considers qualified applicants with criminal histories in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, including the New York City Fair Chance Act, where applicable.
Why Join Breeze
In-Office Expectations
Employees based in our New York City, NY office follow a hybrid work model and are expected to work from the office three days per week. Employees based in our Singapore office are expected to work on-site five days per week.
In-office expectations may vary slightly depending on role, team, and business needs. Certain roles that require closer cross-functional collaboration or operational support may have additional requirements, which will be discussed during the interview process.
Our approach is designed to support meaningful in-person collaboration, team building, and real-time decision-making while providing flexibility where applicable. We believe this structure enables strong execution, close collaboration, and effective teamwork across our global offices.
Come Build With Us!
We offer a rare combination: the ownership and speed of an early-stage company with the traction, backing, and financial foundations of a successful business.
We're building at the convergence of AI, payments, stablecoins, financial infrastructure, and global commerce. The opportunity is much bigger than building another payment processor.
We're building the intelligent infrastructure layer for global commerce, and there's still an enormous amount left to build.
If you want meaningful ownership, hard problems, exceptional teammates, and the opportunity to help define what comes next, we'd love to hear from you!
