Job Description Job Description About Monstro Monstro is the operating system for governed financial intelligence. We build the control layer that allows artificial intelligence to be deployed safely, explainably, and at institutional scale. We exist because the kind of guidance historically reserved for the wealthiest individuals shouldn't be limited to a small fraction of the world. By combining AI with deep institutional infrastructure, we help financial institutions deliver more personalized, responsible, and life-changing financial support to millions of people — not just a few. We're a team of builders who care about meaningful problems, high standards, and long-term impact.
