Catena Labs is building the first AI-native financial institution to provide the new financial infrastructure and services AI
systems need to conduct commerce. We’re giving AI agents the tools to identify themselves and use money safely and efficiently. At
the same time, we’re providing businesses with a trusted, licensed financial partner with the capability to manage risk and
compliance. By building a financial institution with AI and stablecoin infrastructure, we are breaking down the legacy financial
system barriers that prevent an AI-driven economy.
Backed by leading venture investors, we’re assembling a team of engineers, designers, data scientists, and finance professionals
working together to build a stronger, more resilient global economy that creates broad prosperity. We’re looking for people with
the talent, curiosity, and passion to invent an entirely new category of financial services.
We're looking for a Head of Applied AI to lead our AI Platform team. This role combines AI engineering and data science. You'll
build systems directly while setting technical direction for how AI works across Catena, both in our products and our operations.
The AI Platform team sits alongside Product Development and Banking Core, and reports to the CTO. You'll own the tools, models,
frameworks, and eval processes we use internally and within our products. Product Development relies on your team's capabilities,
and you'll ensure AI integrates reliably with Banking Core via APIs, MCP, and other interfaces. You'll also build AI tools that
make the company itself more effective.
This spans product AI (agent interactions, identity, risk), operational AI (compliance workflows, automation), and corporate AI
(how the team works with AI daily). We care more about good judgment on what to build than rigid adherence to categories.
Initially, this is an 80/20 maker/manager role. You'll build on an existing foundation while growing the team.
current LLM paradigm
We work primarily in Python and TypeScript, deploy on AWS and CloudFlare, and use multiple models. You'll have opinions on this
stack and the latitude to evolve it.
If you're passionate about pushing the boundaries of what AI agents can do in financial services and want to be part of building
the trusted financial infrastructure for the agentic economy, we want to hear from you. You'll have the opportunity to work on
challenging problems that have never been solved before, with a team that's defining an entirely new category of financial
services.
This is more than a job; it's a chance to be part of the startup team that makes the AI economy possible. Your work will directly
enable millions of AI agents to participate safely in commerce, unlocking trillions in economic value and increasing prosperity
around the world.
At Relax Gaming, we’ve seen firsthand how AI and automation can genuinely change the way we work in day-to-day operations across the business. We’re now looking for a Head of AI & Automation to help us build on that momentum. This is a role for someone who enjoys working close to the business: understanding how things actually work today, spotting opportunities to improve them, and turning those ideas into structured, real-world solutions that make a difference. You’ll lead our AI & Automation function and collaborate with teams across the company: from Support and Compliance to Finance, Legal, IT and beyond, helping us scale what’s already working and explore what’s possible next. This role is open in our Stockholm office in Urban Escape, Regeringsgatan 25. What you’ll be doing Working closely with teams across the business You’ll spend time with different departments to understand their workflows, challenges, and goals and help identify where automation or AI can create real value. Turning ideas into clear, actionable plans You’ll take insights from the business and turn them into detailed project specifications (e.g., workflow descriptions, pain points, feasibility assessments, and expected outcomes), giving our development team everything they need to build effectively. Building and prioritising our pipeline You’ll own and continuously evolve our AI & Automation roadmap, balancing impact, feasibility, and readiness across the organisation. Supporting adoption and understanding You’ll help teams feel confident using AI tools and solutions through workshops, demos, and by showcasing what’s already been achieved. Leading and growing the team You’ll support and guide a small, growing team, but your primary output isn't management. It's the project specs and pipeline that drive what gets built next. You'll create clarity around priorities and make sure the team always knows what to build and why. A quick clarification: This role is focused on business process automation and applied AI across the organisation. It is not about building AI features for games. We think you’ll enjoy this role if you: Have experience writing technical specifications, project briefs, or requirements documents that development teams actually used to build from Have 10+ years of experience in technology, business analysis, systems analysis or similar Have worked closely with business stakeholders, not just in purely technical roles Have hands-on experience delivering automation end-to-end Are comfortable working across different business areas Communicate clearly and enjoy making complex topics easy to understand Feel comfortable presenting to senior stakeholders Are based in (or open to relocating to) Stockholm It’s a plus if you also have Experience with applied AI tools (e.g. GPT, Azure OpenAI, Copilot, Power Automate) Experience in regulated environments (e.g. iGaming) Experience managing or mentoring a team Worked with process improvement or maturity frameworks Experience showcasing work through demos, training, or presentations A habit of measuring impact (efficiency gains, cost savings, etc.) What success could look like In your first months, you’ll start building relationships across the business, shape a clear pipeline of opportunities, and help bring several initiatives into development, while creating visibility and understanding at the leadership level. Why this role matters A small team at Relax has already delivered meaningful impact through automation and AI: from reducing manual work to improving response times and enabling teams to focus on higher-value tasks. This role is about helping us scale that impact thoughtfully across the company. Life at Relax Are you ready to join a creative, forward-thinking team shaping the future of iGaming?
