About Vinyl Equity

We're building the next generation of capital-markets infrastructure, starting with a modern, digital-native transfer agent designed for today's public companies. Our platform replaces slow, manual processes with secure, automated workflows — delivering the first API-driven, real-time infrastructure for public companies.

Backed by Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Jump, MUFG, and Infinity Ventures, our team includes veterans from NYSE, Equiniti, Computershare, and AngelList. Our Engineering team is headquartered in Mangaluru.

About the Role

The role demands expertise in SEC 17Ad-17, Schedule TO mechanics, DEF 14A timing, DTC settlement workflows, and restricted-securities removal from lived experience. Requires 20% travel to Chicago and customer sites.
