Our Ethos
We believe in an open and flat structure. You will be able to grow into the role that most aligns with your goals. Our team members at all levels have the freedom to explore ideas and impact the roadmap and vision of our company.
About the Role
We are looking for a hands-on Compliance Analyst to join our Compliance team with a primary focus on KYC and KYB onboarding operations. This is a do-er role - you will be in the queue every day reviewing applications, making risk decisions, and working directly with partners and customers to move onboarding forward without sacrificing compliance quality. You will be expected to own your work end to end, exercise sound judgment on complex cases, and contribute to building and improving the processes that support our onboarding program.
This role sits at the intersection of compliance and operations. You are not here to advise - you are here to execute, and to do it well.
What You Will Do
Review and disposition transaction monitoring alerts and KYC/KYB onboarding applications end to end - including customer profile review, document verification, beneficial ownership analysis, sanctions and PEP screening, adverse media assessment, and transactional activity analysis
Conduct enhanced due diligence on High Risk applicants - including source of funds and source of wealth assessment, business model review, and full beneficial ownership chain documentation
Make well-reasoned SAR recommendations - clearly articulating why activity is or is not suspicious and documenting your analysis in a manner that is complete and defensible to a regulator
Draft SAR narratives that meet FinCEN quality standards
Send RFIs to customers or partners where additional information is needed to resolve an alert or application and follow through to receipt and documentation of the response
Support periodic KYC refresh reviews on existing customers as part of the Company's ongoing due diligence program
Contribute to onboarding and investigation policy development - if you see a gap, flag it and propose a solution
Stay current on FinCEN advisories, FATF typologies, and emerging financial crime trends relevant to Rain's product set - including stablecoin, virtual asset, and agentic payment typologies
What You Bring
Minimum 3 years of experience in a compliance, KYC, AML Investigations or onboarding role at a FinTech, payments company, or crypto company
Demonstrated experience reviewing KYB applications for business entities including beneficial ownership analysis, entity structure review, and corporate document verification
Experience with OFAC, PEP, and adverse media screening tools - comfortable making independent screening determinations and documenting your reasoning
Demonstrated experience conducting end-to-end AML investigations and preparing SAR-quality case documentation
Working knowledge of BSA/AML program requirements and FinCEN SAR filing rules
Experience with transaction monitoring platforms
Familiarity with blockchain analytics tools and on-chain transaction analysis
Strong written communication skills
Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment where you manage multiple applications simultaneously without losing attention to detail
A do-er mentality - you are self-directed, take ownership of your queue, and do not wait to be told what to do next
CAMS certification or progress toward certification is a plus
What Success Looks Like
Applications are reviewed thoroughly, dispositioned accurately, and documented completely - every time
Your SLA compliance rate is consistently above 95%
Escalations are well-supported - when you escalate, the reviewer has everything they need to make a decision without coming back to you for more information
You are identifying process gaps and bringing solutions, not just flagging problems
