Regulatory Compliance Associate

About Onyx.

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 day-to-day processes that support Onyx’s regulated business. You’ll work closely with compliance, legal, operations, product, and growth on monitoring and testing, policies and procedures, regulatory reporting, employee training, and examination preparation.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone with 2-5 years of compliance experience who wants broader ownership as the business grows. We’re open to backgrounds across financial services, fintech, crypto, sports gaming, and other regulated businesses. Direct experience with futures or prediction markets is helpful but not required.

The position is based in New York City, working from our NoHo office.

What You’ll Own:

• Conduct compliance monitoring and testing, document findings, and track issues through remediation.
• Maintain policies, procedures, internal controls, and compliance records, including scheduled reviews and updates.
• Support regulatory reporting, licensing obligations, and compliance calendars to keep recurring requirements on track.
• Assist with regulatory examinations, audits, and inquiries by gathering documentation and coordinating responses.
• Coordinate employee compliance training, certifications, and attestations.
• Review marketing materials and external communications alongside legal and growth.
• Partner with product and operations to incorporate compliance requirements into new products and day-to-day workflows.
• Identify gaps and improve processes as Onyx scales.

What We’re Looking For:

• 2-5 years of experience in compliance, regulatory affairs, or a related role within a regulated business.
• Experience as a Compliance Analyst, Senior Compliance Analyst, Compliance Specialist, Regulatory Affairs Associate, or in a similar position.
• Practical experience in areas such as monitoring and testing, policy administration, regulatory reporting, licensing, issue remediation, or audit and examination support.
• Clear writing skills and the ability to translate requirements into useful procedures and accurate documentation.
• Strong organization, sound judgment, and consistent follow-through.
• Ability to work across teams, manage competing priorities, and take ownership of recurring responsibilities.

Helpful, but Not Required:

• Experience at a broker-dealer, futures business, trading platform, crypto company, sportsbook, or payments platform.
• Familiarity with CFTC, NFA, FINRA, or state gaming requirements.
• Series 3 registration.

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 is $100,000-$130,000 pending on experience, impact, and scope, plus target bonus and equity.

Benefits include:

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

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.

Come build what’s next with us.
