Description

  • Design and develop technical solutions for compliance platform projects across KYC onboarding, identity verification and refresh, sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening, transaction monitoring, travel-rule enforcement, case management, and regulatory reporting.
  • Build AI/ML-powered capabilities such as intelligent screening disambiguation, document verification, anomaly detection, automated risk scoring, and analyst-assist agents.
  • Organize resources, lead research and development work, troubleshoot issues, and ensure timely, high-quality delivery of projects.
  • Partner with Data Science, Risk, and Legal teams to productionize models and maintain reliable, auditable inference infrastructure.
  • Define the boundary between probabilistic AI and deterministic logic to preserve auditability and enforcement integrity.
  • Establish AI engineering best practices across the compliance engineering team, including agentic coding patterns, prompt libraries, eval suites, and human-in-the-loop review.
  • Improve code quality and collaboration across teams while supporting broader technical talent development in the organization.

Requirements

  • AI fluency is required, including daily use of modern AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, or equivalents.
  • Production experience integrating AI/ML inference into Java services, including REST/gRPC model serving, feature engineering pipelines, latency optimization, graceful degradation, and drift/rollback playbooks.
  • Hands-on experience with LLM application patterns such as RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, or LLM-based classification/extraction shipped to production.
  • Strong discipline around AI output, including evals, hallucination tests, prompt regression suites, and human-in-the-loop review for high-stakes decisions.
  • A compliance-first systems mindset with familiarity in state machines, idempotency keys, exactly-once semantics, reconciliation jobs, and immutable audit logs.
  • Prior experience in KYC, AML, sanctions, fraud, or payments is a strong plus.
  • Experience surviving a regulatory audit is an even stronger plus.
  • Exposure to LLM integration or AI agent frameworks is a strong plus.
  • Good understanding of software engineering fundamentals and distributed systems principles, including CAP, consistency, idempotency, and exactly-once versus at-least-once semantics.
  • Clear logic, quick thinking, and strong communication skills, including the ability to write clearly for non-engineers such as compliance officers, auditors, and regulators.

Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package.
  • Learning and development programs with an education subsidy, including budget for AI tools, courses, and conferences.
  • Team-building programs and company events.
  • Wellness and meal allowances.
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage for employees and dependants.
