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 escalate 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 escalate 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 escalate 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.
