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
