We are a dynamic organization specializing in payment, crypto-asset and financial services, ensuring strict adherence to regulatory requirements, including AML, safeguarding customer funds, and maintaining robust internal controls. The group consists of authorized entities capable of providing payment services under Payment Institution Authorization, Crypto-asset services under CASP Authorization and financial services under Investment Firm Authorization, supervised by the FIN-FSA. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and efficiency in our operations.

• Transaction Monitoring: Assist in the daily monitoring of fiat and crypto-asset transactions to identify and investigate unusual or suspicious activities.
• Alert Investigation: Review system-generated alerts and accelerate potential Anti-Money Laundering (AML) or Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) risks to senior team members.
• Regulatory Support: Support the 1LoD team in maintaining robust internal controls and ensuring continuous compliance with FIN-FSA regulations.
• Data Management: Ensure all compliance documentation, risk assessments, and customer profiles are accurate, up-to-date, and safely stored.
• Continuous Improvement: Stay informed on the latest trends in crypto-assets, traditional finance, and regulatory shifts to help optimize our internal compliance processes.

What We Are Looking ForRequired:

• Background: A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or currently completing one) from a University/University of Applied Science in Finance, Law, Business, or a related field.
• Experience: 0–2 years of experience in AML, KYC, compliance, or a related operational role (relevant internships are highly valued!).
• Industry Interest: A genuine curiosity and interest in crypto-assets, payment services, and modern financial infrastructure.
• Mindset: A highly analytical, detail-oriented self-starter. You possess a strong entrepreneurial spirit and the drive to take ownership of your tasks.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Proficiency in Finnish is mandatory given our FIN-FSA supervision.
• Adaptability: The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, scale-up environment where things change quickly and no two days are the same.
• Technology: Real-world experience and ability to use and leverage modern AI tools.

Beneficial:

• Experience or interest in technologies such as XML schemas and Python.
• Proficiency with database technologies and monitoring tools such as Solidus Labs and Chainalysis.
• Interest or experience in blockchain, crypto, and the fintech space.
