📋 Description

• Own and continuously improve the AML and financial crime transaction monitoring SOPs, keeping them aligned to current regulatory requirements, evolving typologies, and operational reality • Own the feedback loop into Lithic's monitoring engine: partner with your Analytics, Engineering, and Product peers to evaluate alert logic, assess rule and scenario effectiveness, and tune thresholds to reduce false positives while preserving coverage • Lead the testing, deployment, and tuning of agentic transaction monitoring and investigation solutions, including documenting the investigative context the tooling needs to produce repeatable, examiner-ready output • Investigate complex suspicious activity independently and prepare high-quality SARs and UARs; own escalations and the judgment-heavy cases automation cannot close unattended • Supervise and quality-check alert review and investigative output, including AI-assisted output, so decisions hold up to bank partner and regulatory scrutiny • Synthesize monitoring performance data, operational trends, and emerging financial crime risks into actionable program insights, and define and influence AML KPIs and KRIs • Lead governance preparation for relevant oversight forums and support bank partner and exam-readiness deliverables • Train and mentor analysts on investigations, money laundering typologies, and the agentic tooling, so program knowledge scales beyond any one person

• 3+ years of AML/BSA and transaction monitoring experience in fintech, payments, or a bank-partnered environment • Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end AML programs or work streams with limited guidance, including authoring and maintaining SOPs and preparing governance materials • Deep knowledge of money laundering typologies and emerging financial crime trends, with the ability to investigate complex activity and prepare high-quality SARs and UARs independently • Hands-on experience evaluating alert logic and assessing or tuning transaction monitoring rules and scenarios for effectiveness • Comfort working with AI-assisted or agentic tooling, including how to test, tune, document, and defend AI-assisted decisions to bank partners and regulators • Self-starter who can create structure where none exists and knows when to escalate and collaborate • Strong written and verbal communication • Solid grasp of the BSA/AML regulatory framework (USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC and sanctions, SAR requirements)

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited PTO • 12-weeks fully paid parental leave • 4-Week Fully Paid Sabbatical (earned at your 5-year anniversary) • Work From Anywhere: work from anywhere in the world 4-weeks each year • 3% cashback on card purchases with your complimentary Privacy.com employee account • Health, vision, and dental insurance; HSA Contribution Match • 401(k) match • Voluntary Life Insurance and STD/LTD
