• Develop, enhance, and maintain complex data processing systems, including interface definitions with vendor platforms, upstream and downstream data integrations, workflow orchestration, and multi-system data dependencies.
• Analyze data across AML technology platforms to identify trends, validate business logic, and support regulatory and operational reporting.
• Define, document, and maintain critical data elements, source-to-target mappings, transformation rules, reconciliation logic, and data validation controls to ensure completeness, accuracy, and traceability of AML data.
• Monitor and investigate data quality issues, perform root cause analysis, coordinate remediation efforts with technology and business teams, and help prevent recurring data gaps or control failures.
• Apply domain knowledge of AML, KYC, transaction monitoring, customer risk, and financial crime compliance processes to interpret data requirements and support effective detection, reporting, and analytics capabilities.
• Apply knowledge of relational databases, large-scale data platforms, and cloud analytics environments to assess data patterns and strengthen AML detection, reporting, and analytics.

What Will Help You Succeed

• An engineering mindset and a practical approach to solving complex data and compliance challenges.
• Strong self-motivation, critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Hands-on experience developing large-scale, multi-tenant applications.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to engage effectively with business partners and senior leaders.
• The ability to learn and adapt quickly to new tools and technologies.

Education and Qualifications
