Level: Senior Individual Contributor (this is not a management/leadership position)

Company Description:

Worthland Consulting Inc. is a premier quality recruitment agency based in Canada that specializes in the web3 and crypto space. Our mission is to connect the best candidates with the right jobs in these industries. Whether you are looking to hire new staff or find a new job, we are here to help.

About the Role

Our client is a globally ranked cryptocurrency exchange hiring a Senior AML Compliance Officer to join its compliance team. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role responsible for conducting anti-money laundering (AML) reviews, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity investigations, and regulatory compliance operations on a day-to-day basis.

You will report to the Head of Compliance based in Singapore and work closely with legal, risk, and operations teams to ensure the platform maintains the highest standards of regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions. This role requires deep, practical AML experience within the crypto exchange industry—not theoretical knowledge, but real operational expertise.

Mandarin proficiency is a hard requirement for this position due to the need for close collaboration with Chinese-speaking leadership and teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct day-to-day AML compliance operations including transaction monitoring, alert triage, and suspicious activity reporting (SAR/STR).

• Perform enhanced due diligence (EDD) on high-risk customers, transactions, and jurisdictions.

• Investigate flagged transactions and escalate findings in accordance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.

• Support the maintenance and continuous improvement of AML/KYC policies, procedures, and internal controls.

• Monitor regulatory developments across key jurisdictions and help assess their impact on the platform’s compliance framework.

• Collaborate with blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, Elliptic) for on-chain transaction analysis and risk scoring.

• Assist with regulatory examinations, audits, and information requests from authorities.

• Work cross-functionally with legal, risk, product, and customer support teams on compliance-related matters.

Requirements

Must-Have

• 3+ years of hands-on AML compliance experience within a cryptocurrency exchange (Tier 1 or top Tier 2 exchanges strongly preferred).

• Mandarin proficiency (spoken and written) — this is a hard requirement.

• Strong practical knowledge of AML/CFT regulations, KYC/CDD/EDD procedures, and transaction monitoring frameworks.

• Experience with blockchain analytics platforms (Chainalysis, Elliptic, Crystal, etc.).

• Familiarity with multi-jurisdictional regulatory requirements (e.g., MAS, VASP frameworks, FATF guidelines).

• Strong investigative and analytical skills with attention to detail.

• Ability to work independently in a remote, globally distributed team environment.

Strong Plus

• CAMS, ICA, or equivalent AML certification.

• Previous experience at exchanges such as Binance, OKX, Bybit, Huobi, KuCoin, Bitget, or similar.

• Experience working across multiple regulatory jurisdictions simultaneously.

• Familiarity with DeFi-related compliance challenges.

Not a Fit If You Prefer

• Management or leadership-track roles—this is a senior IC (individual contributor) position.

• Purely advisory or policy roles without hands-on operational execution.

• Environments with limited exposure to crypto-native compliance challenges.

What We Offer

• Annual compensation of approximately $136K–$152K USDT (monthly base + quarterly bonuses).

• Fully remote with no timezone restrictions—work from anywhere.

• Opportunity to work at a globally ranked exchange with real compliance challenges at scale.

• Direct collaboration with a Singapore-based compliance leadership team.
