Deputy BSA Officer

• You find it more satisfying to build an AML program from scratch than to maintain a legacy manual in a corporate basement.

• You enjoy diving into raw transaction data and building logic to catch suspicious patterns, rather than just checking boxes on an audit list.

• You thrive in the gray area where traditional banking regulations meet programmable money and real-time payments.

• You approach compliance as a product feature, not a cost center - and you want to understand the technical nuances of how programmable money actually moves.

• You prefer shipping high-quality policy updates in days, not months of committee meetings.

• You get energized by making compliance a competitive advantage that enables growth rather than a bottleneck that stops it.

• You prefer a quiet office environment where your primary job is to review alerts and check boxes from a pre-defined manual.

• You need a large compliance team or an external consultant to tell you how to interpret new regulatory guidance.

• You are uncomfortable with ambiguity or feel stressed when compliance workflows haven't been built yet.

• You think of 'the business' and 'compliance' as two opposing teams rather than a single product goal.

• You prefer managing people and processes over getting your hands dirty in the data and transaction logs.

• You believe 'that’s how it’s always been done' is a valid justification for a compliance requirement.

• You want to work alone and set your own timelines against well-defined requirements and stable priorities.

• 8+ years of experience in BSA/AML compliance, specifically at a fintech, neobank, or sponsor bank.

• Deep expertise in US regulatory frameworks, including the Bank Secrecy Act, USA PATRIOT Act, and OFAC requirements.

• Direct experience managing and scaling filing alert and investigation workflows, KYC/CIP programs, and high-risk customer due diligence.

• Proven track record of managing regulatory examinations (OCC, FDIC, or Fed) and independent AML audits.

• Proficiency with modern compliance tooling and data analysis.
