Compliance Officer (Crypto / Fintech)


Location: Remote (LV/EU Timezone)


Compensation Package: €2,000–3,500 gross per month



About the Company


We’re looking for a hands-on Compliance Officer to join a global crypto fintech operating across 180+ countries.


The business is regulated and compliance is embedded in how it operates day to day, supporting users and businesses to buy, sell, and move crypto globally. This is a fast-moving, high-volume environment where compliance plays a critical operational role.



The Opportunity


This is a fully autonomous, operational compliance role where you will be expected to independently handle AML/CFT cases, apply blockchain monitoring tools, and support continuous improvement of compliance processes.


From day one, you will own your case queue, make independent decisions, and ensure compliance obligations are met across multiple jurisdictions.



What you'll be doing:


  • Independently handle AML, sanctions, and compliance cases
  • Conduct CDD/EDD reviews, corporate onboardings, and risk assessments
  • Perform sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and SAR escalations
  • Use blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis and Elliptic, alongside KYC/KYB platforms like Sumsub
  • Review and maintain compliance policies and documentation
  • Collaborate closely with Legal, Fraud, Operations, Sales, and Customer Support teams
  • Identify opportunities to improve speed, automation, and operational efficiency



We're looking for professionals who have:


  • 3+ years of AML, Compliance, or Risk experience within a regulated EU crypto, fintech, or blockchain environment
  • Strong knowledge of AML/CFT frameworks, sanctions, MiCA, AMLD, Travel Rule, and PSD2
  • Hands-on experience with blockchain monitoring and KYC/KYB tools
  • Strong analytical skills and experience conducting risk assessments
  • Fluency in English



Nice to have:


  • Multi-jurisdictional exposure (US, UK, CA, AUS)
  • CAMS or ICA certification
  • Experience in high-growth or scale-up environments



You'll thrive in this role if you:


  • Take ownership without needing constant direction
  • Are comfortable making decisions independently
  • Treat compliance as a business enabler rather than a blocker
  • Adapt quickly and enjoy low-bureaucracy environments



Why Apply?


This is a hands-on opportunity to join a global crypto fintech where compliance sits at the centre of day-to-day operations.


You will work closely with experienced compliance professionals across the business, gaining direct exposure to AML/CFT casework, regulatory processes, and blockchain-based compliance tools in a fast-moving, regulated environment.


If you're an experienced compliance professional looking for an opportunity to shape the future of a growing global crypto business, we'd love to hear from you.
