About Aplo

At Aplo, you won’t just do a job - you’ll own outcomes, grow every day, and work with a team that wins together.

Aplo is the only EU-registered crypto prime broker for institutional investors offering transparent, conflict-free, self-service execution with fast asset listing across hundreds of coins.

In October 2025, Aplo was acquired by Coincheck N.V. (Nasdaq CNCK), a publicly listed company.

We combine the agility of a startup with the rigor of a regulated financial institution, giving institutional clients access to crypto markets with the reliability of traditional finance.

About the role

You’ll join our Compliance & Risk team as a Junior Compliance Analyst, reporting directly to Simon, our Chief Operating Officer. You will work closely with Axelle (Junior Compliance Analyst), & Justine (Regulatory Compliance & Financial Crime Manager) and other key stakeholders - including Sales, Brokerage, Operations, and Quant Engineering.

Your mission

Help us build and maintain world-class AML / CFT controls as we scale a regulated crypto business across Europe.

As part of the first line of defense, you’ll perform day-to-day operational checks and support strong internal controls.

You’ll handle KYC, transaction monitoring, and risk analysis using tools like Chainalysis, Comply Advantage, and Dotfile, while learning how compliance drives both security and business impact.

This is a hands‑on, detail-driven role in a fast-moving environment where curiosity, precision, and accountability are key.

What you’ll do

• Manage end-to-end client onboarding, including documentation collection, sanctions / PEP screening, and regular KYC refreshes / risk reassessments.
• Perform first‑level alert reviews, transaction monitoring (KYT), and execute recurring compliance checks as part of the 1st line of defense.
• Conduct EDD for high‑risk clients and complex cases, and prepare the factual analysis required for Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) under the guidance of MLRO.
• Contribute to internal SOPs, alert management and compliance workflows improvements.
• Contribute to regulatory monitoring efforts and support implementation projects for new EU requirements (e.g., MiCA, TFR).
• Work closely with sales, brokerage, operations, and engineering teams to ensure compliant client experiences and support ad‑hoc projects.

We’d love to hear from you if you :

• Have a Master’s degree (or final‑year student graduating soon) in Law, Finance, Business, or a related field.
• Are looking for your first or second professional experience in compliance, finance, or crypto.
• Have a basic understanding of AML / CFT and KYC / KYT principles.
• Are detail‑oriented, structured, and eager to learn.
• Enjoy collaborating across teams : Sales, Operations, Quant etc.
• Communicate clearly and effectively in both French and English (C2 level), and show curiosity in a fast‑moving environment.

Why Aplo?

At Aplo, we’re not just building a crypto company - we’re building the future of institutional finance.

Here’s what you can expect :

• The chance to build strong knowledge of crypto‑assets and advanced KYB / C.
• Real responsibility from day one.
• A regulated and innovative environment.
• Collaboration with Sales, Brokerage, and Engineering.
• Strong learning and continuous feedback.
• A supportive, team‑focused culture.
