About the team

Our Sanctions Screening team keeps our merchants and their customers safe. We run and constantly improve the real-time screening that checks payments and customers against sanctions and watchlists. We're scaling it fast as we move into new markets and payment types.

The role

This is an associate-level role for a sharp, hands-on data analyst. You'll help with the day-to-day running and improvement of our screening systems, making them faster, more accurate and more resilient. Sanctions screening, compliance and fincrime experience is a plus, not a must.

Strong data analysts from adjacent payments, fintech or similar fields are welcome to apply.

What you'll do

• Support the day-to-day running of our screening platform (Fircosoft Continuity, the system that checks payments and customers against watchlists), keeping it healthy and reliable.

• Design and test rules that cut false positives and reduce manual case work.

• Manage watchlist updates and configurations to stay ahead of regulatory change.

• Extend screening to new payment types and build automated testing so improvements stick.

What success looks like

• False positives and manual workload fall measurably, without weakening detection.

• Screening runs reliably and no longer depends on any single person.

• New payment types and controls are supported quickly as the business grows.

What you'll bring

• 2-3 years' experience in a data analyst or data-focused role.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You turn data into decisions.

• Hands-on data skills with SQL/BigQuery and/or Python. You don't need to be an expert, but you'll need to be comfortable extracting, compiling, querying data and presenting insights.

• Clear communication with technical and non-technical people.

• Comfort in a fast-moving, high-performance and high-growth environment.

Nice to have

• Experience in sanctions screening, AML, fraud or transaction monitoring.

• Experience configuring screening tools and designing screening rules.

• Exposure to crypto or other emerging payment types.
