We also provide additional flexibility throughout August with remote working opportunities, allowing colleagues to remain productive while staying connected with their teams.

As part of a globally distributed organization, you'll collaborate with colleagues across multiple ING locations and contribute to solutions used across the bank.

• Understanding of AML/CFT, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, and suspicious activity reporting.
• Familiarity with blockchain analytics, wallet risk scoring, transaction tracing, on-chain investigations, and crypto typologies.
• Awareness of Travel Rule requirements and the importance of originator and beneficiary information in crypto-asset transfers.
• Understanding of EU digital asset regulation, including MiCA and related AML/CFT expectations for crypto-asset service providers.
• Ability to work in a regulated banking environment where traceability, auditability, control evidence, privacy, security, and governance are essential.

• Experience with blockchain analytics platforms such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic, Merkle Science, Scorechain, Crystal, or similar tools.

• Experience working with Travel Rule controls, originator and beneficiary information validation, or crypto-asset transfer reviews.
• Knowledge of tokenization, digital assets, stablecoins, CBDCs, tokenized deposits, custody, settlement, and wholesale banking use cases.
• Knowledge of DeFi protocols, decentralized exchanges, mixers, bridges, privacy-enhancing tools, and smart contract risk.
• Experience interpreting blockchain analytics, transaction tracing, entity attribution, and risk exposure information.
• Experience with data governance, retention, privacy, access control, and audit evidence.
• Experience working with global teams, multi-country regulatory requirements, and enterprise governance standards.
