## Job description

The Opportunity

This is a backfill on a payments and payroll platform's financial crime program, and the team needs someone who can step in and hold a full caseload from day one, not ramp slowly into it. Success in the first 90 days looks like fluency in the monitoring and case management tools plus the blockchain analytics platform, and by month six you should be independently drafting SAR narratives that need little rework and have flagged at least one pattern worth feeding back into detection rules. This is a good fit for someone who wants real ownership over investigative work.

## What You'll Own

- Carry a caseload of transaction monitoring alerts across both crypto and fiat rails, deciding to escalate or clear each one with a documented rationale
- Trace funds across multiple blockchains, surfacing exposure to mixers, sanctioned wallets, darknet markets, and high risk exchanges
- Reconcile on chain findings against KYC, KYB, and fiat banking records to reach a defensible conclusion on incomplete information
- Draft SAR narratives and supporting evidence that hold up without heavy rework from the compliance lead
- Disposition sanctions and adverse media alerts, including wallet screening, and escalate true matches with a recommended account action
- Spot recurring typologies or false positive patterns and push them back into the monitoring rules and risk scoring
- Build working relationships across onboarding, legal, risk, data, and support so investigations move without friction

## What We're Looking For

- 2 to 4 years in AML or CFT investigations, or an FIU role, with at least 2 years directly in sanctions or AML work
- Fintech experience, early stage fintech background is a plus
- Hands on experience with a transaction monitoring system and case management tool, not just exposure to one
- Practical experience with at least one blockchain analytics platform such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, or Elliptic, including what you actually traced with it
- Familiarity with BSA and FinCEN guidance, EU AML directives and MiCA, and FATF recommendations including the Travel Rule
- A track record of writing SAR narratives yourself, not supporting someone else's filing
- Full professional English

## Nice to Have

- Experience at a virtual asset service provider or crypto native platform
- Comfort across more than one blockchain analytics tool
- Experience supporting SAR filings in more than one regulatory jurisdiction

Tools and Stack

Blockchain analytics platforms such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, or Elliptic, alongside a transaction monitoring and case management system.

Details

- Location: Remote, Latin America
- Time Zone: US business hours overlap required, particularly Eastern Time
- Salary: $2,000/month USD to start
- Type: Full-time
- Benefits: Unlimited PTO
