You should be excited about applying these tools to improve compliance workflows, enhance efficiency, and scale operations. An engineering background or data science skills are a major plus, especially if you’re comfortable working with structured and unstructured data, interpreting detection models, and partnering with product and engineering teams. You’ll be expected to leverage AI-based tools to streamline core processes such as transaction monitoring, alert triage, case management, and reporting, while also identifying opportunities to enhance and refine our existing systems. Key Responsibilities:
- Run KYC procedures during onboarding to ensure compliance with our policies and regulations.
- Perform CDD and EDD reviews depending on user risk.
- Monitor transactions using our internal systems and flag suspicious patterns.
- Investigate and escalate red flags related to fraud, sanctions, anti-money laundering (AML), or terrorist financing, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) filings as necessary.
- You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with our Product and Engineering teams to continuously improve our detection systems, applying data-driven thinking and AI-powered tools to refine existing logic and propose new risk indicators.
Requirements
- Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish is required.
- Full-time availability, Monday through Friday.
- The ability to work from our office in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Monday through Thursday.
- At least 1 year of compliance experience or proven basic knowledge in the field (risk mitigation, KYC, CDD, EDD, monitoring systems).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Self-driven, adaptable, and possess an innovative mindset.
- Strong interest in (or experience using) AI to optimize compliance workflows.
- Bonus: An engineering background and/or data science knowledge are highly preferred and will help you succeed in this role.
