We're building a
kyc/kyb onboarding copilot
and
corridor-specific aml/kyt "pre-flight" checks
for stablecoin & cross-border payments. Targets:
≤30-minute
compliance approval tat and
~15% false-positive
screening rate without under-catching—so compliance teams can ship new flows faster and safer.
role focus (what you'll own)
* end-to-end latam compliance program:
kyc/kyb standards, sanctions/pep continuous screening, transaction-risk policies, evidence trails, audit logs.
* corridor risk registers:
define & maintain risk controls for key routes (e.g.,
usmx, brar, mxco
), including fiat–crypto on/off-ramps and travel rule obligations across vasp fi.
* screening quality & speed:
set measurable targets for
false-positive rate, reviewer agreement, and tat
; design playbooks to hit them.
* regulatory readiness:
map applicable latam regulations and supervisor expectations; lead audit/readiness checks; maintain policy library and control testing cadence.
* vendor & data controls:
own selection and governance of aml/kyc vendors (e.g., sanctions/pep, kyb corp data, travel rule), define data-retention, sar/str processes, and access controls.
* partner enablement:
collaborate with product/engineering to embed controls into onboarding, payments, and off-ramp flows; write clear reviewer guidance and exception paths.
* training & incident response:
run periodic training; chair fincrime incident reviews and corrective-action plans.
responsibilities (day-to-day)
* draft/own
policies & procedures
(cdd/edd, kyb for multi-layer ownership, sanctions, adverse media, tm thresholds).
* calibrate and monitor
sanctions/pep screening
; tune match logic; document overrides with defensible rationale.
* design
kyt "pre-flight" checks
per corridor, including counterparty risk, travel rule data sufficiency, and trigger-based reviews.
* define
qa & evals
: fp/fn sampling, reviewer agreement, and audit-ready evidence snapshots.
* lead
regulatory interactions
and support external audits; prepare artefacts (risk assessment, customer-journey maps, control matrices).
* drive
issue management
: raise findings, assign owners/slas, verify remediation.
* report monthly metrics to leadership: tat, fp%, escalations, sar/str volume, key incidents, and remediation status.
qualifications
* 8+ years
in aml/compliance/fincrime within payments, cross-border, or crypto/fiat on-off-ramp; prior
head/cco/mlro
ownership preferred.
* hands-on with
kyc/kyb (multi-jurisdictional), sanctions/pep, adverse media, travel rule
, and audit prep.
* comfortable with tools/data (can read dashboards; basic sql/excel a plus); experience with vendors like trm/elliptic/chainalysis/notabene a plus.
* language:
professional
english
plus
spanish or portuguese
.
* certifications (e.g.,
cams/ica
) are a plus.
what we offer
* competitive comp (cash +
advisory/equity
options), remote-first, high-ownership.
* direct influence on a product used by leading cross-border & stablecoin teams.
* a pragmatic, metrics-driven culture (ship controls that measurably reduce risk and time-to-revenue).
