Job description

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We’re creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

In this role, you will support the detection, investigation, and mitigation of financial crime risks, with a strong emphasis on fraud-related activity.

• Conduct thorough reviews of customer activity, account behavior, and transaction patterns to identify red flags related to fraud and financial crime.
• Perform customer due diligence (CDD), enhanced due diligence (EDD), and ongoing monitoring reviews.
• Collaborate with Engineering and senior management to investigate complex cases and recommend risk mitigation actions.
• Maintain accurate documentation of investigations, findings, and decisions to support audit and regulatory examinations.
• Assist in the development, testing, and tuning of transaction monitoring rules and fraud detection scenarios.
• Stay current on emerging fraud typologies, AML regulations, and industry best practices; contribute to policy and procedure updates.
• Support internal and external audits, regulatory exams, and independent reviews of the BSA/AML program.
• Provide guidance and training to front-line staff on fraud and AML red flags as needed.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• Minimum of 2 years of direct experience in fraud investigation, fraud operations, or fraud risk management within the financial services or fintech sector.
• Working knowledge of BSA/AML regulations, OFAC sanctions, and related compliance frameworks.
• Experience using transaction monitoring systems, case management platforms, and fraud detection tools.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex data and identify patterns of suspicious or fraudulent activity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft clear investigative narratives and regulatory filings.
