We are a leading global digital asset and cryptocurrency exchange, serving tens of millions of users worldwide with a comprehensive suite of trading and wealth management services. As part of our strategic expansion across Europe, we are building out our regional hubs to support a fully compliant ecosystem under the newly granted Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. Operating with a high-autonomy and remote-first culture, we attract top-tier compliance talent who thrive in fast-moving, intellectually demanding environments. Join us to help shape the financial infrastructure of the next era of the internet.

The Role

This role is designed for an experienced AML professional who can take ownership of complex corporate onboarding and ongoing monitoring work across higher-risk client profiles within our European operations. You will play a key role in maintaining regulatory compliance while helping the business run scalable, risk-based onboarding processes in a live MiCA-compliant environment.

The position requires strong hands-on capability across CDD, EDD, KYB, Customer Risk Assessments, and transaction monitoring, with particular relevance to digital assets and fintech environments. You will also act as a subject-matter resource for junior analysts and partner closely with Compliance, Risk, and other internal stakeholders on AML matters.

Why Join Us

• High-Impact Footprint: Take on a high-impact AML role tied directly to European corporate onboarding quality, risk assessment, and ongoing monitoring for a world-class platform.
• Front-Row Compliance: Work on complex ownership structures, high-risk clients, and defensible financial crime assessments within a cutting-edge MiCA regulatory framework.
• Framework Evolution: Help strengthen global AML processes, controls, and technical documentation as our compliance architecture continues to mature and scale.
• Strategic Collaboration: Partner closely with Compliance, Risk, and escalation stakeholders while contributing your localized and technical expertise to junior team members.

What You'll Do

• CDD & EDD Ownership: Conduct rigorous CDD and EDD reviews for corporate and high-risk clients within the European market.
• Risk Scoring: Perform comprehensive Customer Risk Assessments, including detailed risk scoring and well-documented compliance compliance evaluations.
• KYB Management: Manage sophisticated KYB reviews by identifying and verifying Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) and assessing complex corporate ownership and control structures.
• Wealth Verification: Review Source of Funds (SoF) and Source of Wealth (SoW) documentation to support high-level onboarding and ongoing monitoring decisions.
• Transaction Monitoring: Investigate transaction monitoring alerts, identify suspicious fiat/crypto patterns, and elevate high-risk cases where required.
• Risk Documentation: Draft internal AML assessments and risk memos to support clear, defensible, and audit-ready compliance decision-making.
• Escalation & Reporting: Escalating suspicious activity and submitting internal reports to the MLRO or Deputy MLRO in strict accordance with internal procedures.
• Process Optimization: Proactively improve AML processes, operational controls, and documentation while supporting mentoring and training for junior analysts.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• Proven Experience: 4-6 years of solid, hands-on experience in AML, KYB, or Financial Crime Compliance.
• Core Competencies: Strong hands-on experience across CDD, EDD, corporate onboarding, KYB, Customer Risk Assessments, and transaction monitoring.
• Structure Assessment: Proven ability to assess complex corporate structures, offshore entities, and high-risk jurisdictions.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong analytical and investigative skills, with the ability to manage multiple complex cases independently.
• Communication: Excellent written English and the absolute ability to produce clear, defensible compliance assessments.
• Flexibility: Willingness to work night shifts or flexible schedules where required to align with global operations.

Strong-to-haves

• Web3 Context: Experience in high-growth digital asset platforms, virtual asset service providers (VASPs), or regulated fintech environments.
• Tool Proficiency: Familiarity with advanced AML tools, blockchain analytics, and monitoring systems such as SumSub, Elliptic, Chainalysis, or Checkout.
• Audit Exposure: Prior involvement in regulatory audits, central bank inspections, or MiCA-related compliance preparation.
