  • Blockchain Forensics: Utilize on-chain analytics tools (e.g., Chainalysis, TRM Labs, Elliptic) to trace cryptocurrency flows, identify high-risk wallet interactions, and assess illicit finance risks.
  • KYC / EDD: Assist with escalated Know Your Customer (KYC) / Know Your Business (KYB) reviews, Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and OFAC sanctions screening.
  • Rule Tuning & Optimization: Collaborate with the CCO and compliance engineering to refine and tune transaction monitoring rules, ensuring false positives are minimized while capturing actual risks.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with customer support, engineering, and product teams to integrate compliance controls seamlessly into the Alpaca API ecosystem.

What You Need (Qualifications):

  • Experience: 2–5 years of experience in AML, transaction monitoring, or financial crimes compliance within a cryptocurrency exchange, fintech, or traditional financial institution.

  • Tools: Hands-on experience with blockchain analytics tools and traditional fiat transaction monitoring vendors.
  • Autonomy: High level of self-motivation and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, 100% remote startup environment.
  • Bonus: Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CAMS, CGSS, or crypto-specific certifications like CCAS/Chainalysis Reactor Certification) are a strong plus
