What we're looking for

We’re hiring a FinCrime Lead to work directly with our founders and build our financial crime product function from the ground up. You’ll lead a cross-functional product team focused on fraud prevention, AML/CTF, and transaction monitoring, and delivering measurable impact through smart, data-driven analyses.

You’ll thrive in this role if you love solving complex problems, can translate regulatory and operational needs into product solutions, and enjoy working at the intersection of product, data science, and engineering.

What you'll be doing

• Own the product vision and roadmap for fraud detection, AML, and transaction monitoring.

• Lead a team of engineers and data scientists to design, deliver, and refine detection models, rule sets, and monitoring systems.

• Define and track KPIs like true positive rate, false positive rate, and time-to-detection.

• Turn fraud patterns, typologies, and compliance requirements into clear product specifications.
