## Job Description

## What You’ll Do
- Translate regulatory requirements (AML, KYC, BSA, FinCEN, OFAC, and others) into clear technical specifications for engineering teams.
- Partner with product and engineering to design, build, and maintain compliance-related systems and controls, including transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and customer due diligence workflows.
- Review technical implementations for regulatory gaps, and own remediation efforts when gaps are identified.
- Develop and maintain compliance analytics, data quality controls, data reconciliation processes to support monitoring, regulatory reporting, and audit readiness.
- Serve as the technical subject-matter expert during regulatory exams, audits, and third-party assessments.
- Stay current on evolving regulatory requirements in the US and key international markets, and proactively surface changes that require engineering action.
- Write and maintain technical compliance documentation, runbooks, and policies.
- Support SARs, CTRs, and other regulatory reporting workflows from a systems and data integrity standpoint.

## You will likely be successful if you have
- 3–5+ years of experience in compliance engineering, fintech compliance, or a similar technical compliance role.
- Working knowledge of US financial regulations: BSA, AML, KYC, OFAC sanctions, and FinCEN requirements.
- Hands-on experience with transaction monitoring systems, identity verification workflows, or watchlist screening tools.
- Ability to read and reason about code (Python, SQL, or similar) — you don’t need to be a full-stack engineer, but you need to hold your own in technical conversations.
- Experience translating regulatory language into technical requirements or acceptance criteria.
- Strong written communication skills; you can write clearly for both engineering audiences and regulators.
- Experience using SQL, data analytics, and reconciliation techniques to validate compliance controls, investigate anomalies, and support regulatory reporting.

## Bonus Attributes
- Experience in crypto, digital assets, or payments compliance.
- Familiarity with international AML frameworks (FATF, EU AMLD, etc.).
- CAMS, CFE, or similar compliance certification.
- Prior work supporting regulatory exams or external audits in a technical capacity.
