Job description

This is a remote position. AML (Anti-Money Laundering) Fraud Configuration Specialist is a specialized technical-compliance role focused on designing, tuning, and maintaining the automated systems used to detect financial crime. Unlike an investigator who reviews alerts, a configuration specialist works 'under the hood' of transaction monitoring software to optimize detection parameters, reduce false positives, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure AML and fraud platforms (e.g., Navaera, Featurespace)
• Analyze false positive rates and adjust rules to improve the efficiency and accuracy of AML alerts, reducing the noise for investigators.
• Translate new AML regulations (e.g., Bank Secrecy Act, PATRIOT Act, OFAC) into technical requirements and system rules
• Conduct testing and validation of configurations

Requirements

• 4-8 years of experience in AML/fraud systems
• Strong knowledge of AML transaction monitoring systems (e.g., Verafin, Actimize) and data analytics tools.
• Ability to act as a bridge between technical teams (IT) and non-technical stakeholders (compliance officers, investigators).
