Job Description

FIU Analyst investigating AML, sanctions, and blockchain activity for a cross-border payments and payroll platform. Drafting SARs and improving transaction-monitoring rules.

Responsibilities:

  • Carry a caseload of transaction monitoring alerts across crypto and fiat rails, deciding whether to escalate or clear each one with a documented rationale
  • Trace funds across multiple blockchains, identifying exposure to mixers, sanctioned wallets, darknet markets, and high-risk exchanges
  • Reconcile on-chain findings against KYC, KYB, and fiat banking records to reach defensible conclusions on incomplete information
  • Draft SAR narratives and supporting evidence requiring little rework from the compliance lead
  • Disposition sanctions and adverse media alerts, including wallet screening, and escalate true matches with a recommended account action
  • Identify recurring typologies or false-positive patterns and feed them back into monitoring rules and risk scoring
  • Build working relationships across onboarding, legal, risk, data, and support teams so investigations progress smoothly

Requirements:

  • 2 to 4 years in AML or CFT investigations, or an FIU role, with at least 2 years directly in sanctions or AML work
  • Fintech experience; early stage fintech background is a plus
  • Hands on experience with a transaction monitoring system and case management tool
  • Practical experience with at least one blockchain analytics platform such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, or Elliptic
  • Familiarity with BSA and FinCEN guidance, EU AML directives and MiCA, and FATF recommendations including the Travel Rule
  • Track record of writing SAR narratives yourself
  • Full professional English
  • Experience at a virtual asset service provider or crypto native platform is a nice to have
  • Comfort across more than one blockchain analytics tool is a nice to have
  • Experience supporting SAR filings in more than one regulatory jurisdiction is a nice to have

Benefits:

  • Unlimited PTO
