About
the team Our Sanctions Screening team keeps our merchants and their customers safe. We run and constantly improve the real-time screening that checks payments and customers against sanctions and watchlists. We're scaling it fast as we move into new markets and payment types.
The role This is an associate-level role for a sharp, data-minded analyst. You'll own the day-to-day running and improvement of our screening systems, making them faster, more accurate and more resilient. Sanctions of fincrime experience is a plus, not a must. Strong analysts from adjacent payments, fintech or similar fields are welcome.
What you'll do Own the day-to-day running of our screening platform (Fircosoft Continuity, the system that checks payments and customers against watchlists), keeping it healthy and reliable. Design and test rules that cut false positives and reduce manual case work. Manage watchlist updates and configurations to stay ahead of regulatory change. Extend screening to new payment types and build automated testing so improvements stick. What success looks like False positives and manual workload fall measurably, without weakening detection. Screening runs reliably and no longer depends on any single person. New payment types and controls are supported quickly as the business grows. What you'll bring 2–3 years' experience in an analytical or data-focused role. This is not a graduate or entry-level position. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. You turn data into decisions. Hands-on data skills with SQL and/or Python. You don't need to be an expert, but you'll get into the data. Experience working with rules, logic or system configuration, and testing them. Clear communication with technical and non-technical people. Comfort in a fast-moving, high-performance and high-growth environment.
