About the Company At Aplo, you won’t just do a job - you’ll own outcomes, grow every day, and work with a team that wins together. Aplo is the only EU-registered crypto prime broker for institutional investors offering transparent, conflict-free, self-service execution with fast asset listing across hundreds of coins. In October 2025, Aplo was acquired by Coincheck N.V. (Nasdaq CNCK), a publicly listed company. We combine the agility of a startup with the rigor of a regulated financial institution, giving institutional clients access to crypto markets with the reliability of traditional finance. About the Role We are hiring a Compliance & Internal Controller to join our Compliance & Risk Department, reporting to the COO and working closely with the Risk & Compliance team. You will operate as an independent Second Line of Defense, ensuring that Aplo scales fast, safely, and compliantly.
