Position Summary

The KYC/AML Specialist owns the day-to-day identity verification, customer due diligence, and transaction monitoring that keep our onboarding and funding operations compliant. You'll clear and elevate alerts, run enhanced due diligence on higher-risk accounts, file suspicious activity reports, and keep the documentation clean enough to stand up to regulators and outside counsel. This is a hands‑on compliance seat with real ownership of the function, working closely with our payments and operations teams and reporting directly to compliance leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the day-to-day KYC/CDD process: identity verification, document review, and account onboarding checks for new and existing users.
• Run enhanced due diligence (EDD) on higher‑risk accounts and elevate what needs a closer look.
• Monitor activity for red flags, investigate alerts, and document your findings clearly enough that they hold up under review.
• Draft and file suspicious activity reports and internal escalations, and keep clean records of every decision.
• Screen against sanctions, PEP, and watchlists (OFAC and the rest), and clear or elevate hits.
• Work alongside our payments and operations teams on anything that touches onboarding, funding, or payout risk.
• Help keep our AML program, policies, and procedures current as the business and the regulatory picture change.
• Support exam and audit readiness, including recordkeeping that stands up to regulator and outside‑counsel scrutiny.

Required Qualifications

• 2+ years in KYC, AML, CDD/EDD, or financial crimes work.
• A working knowledge of BSA/AML obligations, sanctions screening, and SAR processes.
• Sharp judgment. You can tell the difference between a real red flag and noise, and you know when to elevate.
• Comfort operating in a fast‑moving environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience at a brokerage, FCM, IB, or other registered firm. You've seen how compliance works inside a regulated trading business, not just a bank.
• Series 3 (National Commodity Futures Examination). Series 30 or other NFA-related registrations are welcome too.
• Exposure to futures, derivatives, or prop trading
• Familiarity with NFA and CFTC requirements.
• Experience with screening/onboarding tooling, including SumSub
