What Atheneo stands for

Atheneo AI is a modern athenaeum — a house of knowledge built for everyone, not the few. We build artificial intelligence the conscious way: safe by design, made with conscience, and pointed at human flourishing. We're a woman-led company, and that vantage point is the point — we build so the instruments of advantage reach the people the old systems overlooked, not just the already-powerful.

Safe by design

Safety is the first constraint we build under — not a feature bolted on at the end.

Built with conscience

We weigh the human consequences of what we make before we ship it.

Power to the overlooked

We build for the people the old systems overlooked — because who can use a tool shapes the future.

Elevate, never replace

Our AI works for you, within the rules you set — a steward, not a master.

What we're building

Our first work is Henry — a trading intelligence that puts institution-grade capability in everyone's hands. It's how we prove the mission in practice, not just on a page.

We're moving from private beta toward public launch, building the company and the product in parallel. You'd be joining founding-team early, with real ownership over what Atheneo becomes.

The role

As founding CCO, you'll stand up our compliance program from the ground up and serve as the firm's designated Chief Compliance Officer as we register and operate as an RIA.

What you'll own

  • The compliance program — policies, procedures, and the code of ethics
  • RIA registration and ongoing obligations — Form ADV, filings, and recordkeeping
  • Risk disclosures, marketing-rule compliance, and client agreements
  • Data security and privacy posture (SOC-2 readiness)
  • Serving as the firm's designated Chief Compliance Officer

What we're looking for

  • Deep compliance experience at an RIA, broker-dealer, or asset manager
  • Fluency with the Investment Advisers Act, Form ADV, and SEC / state rules
  • CFA charter (required)
  • Series 65 — or a CFA-based exemption — to register as an investment adviser representative
  • High integrity, and comfort building the function from zero

Logistics

  • Founding team, direct partnership with the founder
  • Remote-first
  • Meaningful equity
  • Full-time

Sound like you?

We're early, and the right person rarely fits a job description perfectly. If this resonates, we want to hear from you.
