Sobre este puesto de Compliance Operations Analyst, Sanctions and Financial Crimes en Funxyz
Capital markets are undergoing a fundamental shift. Assets that live in fragmented systems and manual workflows are moving onto blockchains – systems designed to move and store value more transparently and efficiently. While this unlocks more open and programmable financial systems, it also introduces significant complexity, and for most people, moving money into this new world is still far too hard.
Fun builds the infrastructure that powers consumer-facing fintech applications – handling onboarding, account access, and powering money movement so users can interact with blockchain-based systems as seamlessly as they do with traditional finance. For fintech builders, Fun provides a best-in-class onboarding and deposit stack that drives conversion and unlocks growth. We operate at the intersection of financial infrastructure, complex engineering, and product experience.
We're looking for a Compliance Operations Analyst, Sanctions and Financial Crimes to handle the sanctions and financial crimes casework behind that infrastructure – the screening, investigations, and day-to-day judgment calls our partners rely on.
Compliance here is a design input, not a checklist bolted onto a finished product. Our architecture is non-custodial, our rails span fiat and crypto, and our mandate is global – which means sanctions screening has to be reasoned from first principles rather than copied from a bank or an exchange. This is a hands-on role: you will work the alerts, the investigations, and the edge cases yourself.
This role reports to the Head of Compliance (General Counsel in the interim) and works closely with Finance and Operations, Engineering, Partnerships and Customer Support.
What You'll Own
Sanctions and financial crimes casework. Day-to-day operation of wallet and transaction screening and monitoring – working the alert queue across sanctions, scam, and address-poisoning flags, investigating and deciding escalations, and documenting a clear rationale for every block, reject, and release.
Reporting, licenses, and recordkeeping. Blocked and rejected transaction reports to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), implementation of new designations and Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) special measures as they land, identifying when a general or specific license may apply and escalating to Legal, and records that hold up to a bank, partner, or regulator review.
Screening tuning and quality assurance. Tuning matching logic, risk thresholds, and exposure rules in our blockchain analytics and screening tools – testing changes, reducing false positives, and holding providers to measurable performance rather than to their sales decks.
Rule specifications. Writing clear, testable rule specifications for our in-house rule engine – including the automated rules that keep the review queue manageable – and working with Engineering, Product and Customer Success so sanctions controls live inside the product, not around it.
Procedures and partner questions. Keeping sanctions procedures current, supporting partner and bank due diligence, and explaining our non-custodial architecture – and what it does and does not implicate – to counterparties who have never seen one.
Metrics and coverage. Meeting defined alert-handling service levels, tracking alert volume and false-positive rates, and taking part in a coverage rotation for weekends and off-hours.
