Job description

Who we are looking for

The position focuses on hands-on involvement in model development, data analysis, and enhancement of monitoring capabilities across public blockchain and digital asset use cases.

This is a highly technical role requiring strong SQL and Python expertise, with practical experience in data analysis, model development, or feature engineering, rather than a reporting or AML operations-focused position. The successful candidate will contribute to building scalable models and analytical solutions, while leveraging experience in crypto/digital asset AML to strengthen monitoring of emerging financial crime risks. You will collaborate closely with business, data, and technology teams to support the delivery of data-driven solutions across the model lifecycle.

  • Support AML and business stakeholders with the hands-on development and documentation of suspicious activity monitoring models

  • Support model owner responsibilities, including involvement in model development, testing, tuning, implementation, and ongoing monitoring

  • Be involved in designing and building features, scenarios, and analytical logic to enhance detection of suspicious digital asset activities

  • Contribute to the development of user stories and requirements to improve monitoring of digital transactions and entities

  • Contribute to improving efficiency in Financial Crimes Compliance processes through development of analytical and investigative tools

  • Work with large datasets and partner with data teams to support data sourcing, transformation, and pipeline design (e.g. ETL processes)

  • Collaborate with broader AML Compliance teams including policy, risk assessment, and KYC teams, ensuring alignment of data and model requirements

  • Support validation and testing to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of models and processes

Education & Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in suspicious activity monitoring within Financial Crimes Compliance, with proven hands-on experience in data analysis and/or model development coupled with experience in digital assets sets you up for success in this role

  • Hands-on experience with SQL, including querying, data manipulation, and working with large datasets is required

  • Working knowledge of Python for data analysis, feature engineering, or model development is required

  • Understanding of cryptocurrency transaction flows, blockchain data, and AML typologies in digital assets, or demonstrated interest in developing expertise in this area is required

  • Familiarity with AML transaction monitoring frameworks, including exposure to model development, scenario design, or alert tuning

  • Experience working with large datasets and data environments (e.g., Databricks, Spark, Snowflake)

  • Experience utilising blockchain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic) is preferred

  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Finance) or related field; advanced degree preferred
