About the role

  • Monitor activity across Paxos‑issued stablecoins using blockchain analytics tools, triaging alerts and escalating higher‑risk activity to senior investigators as appropriate.
  • Conduct first‑line investigations into potential suspicious activity, synthesizing KYC, transactional, and open‑source information into clear case files and recommendations.
  • Support quarterly forensic reviews of stablecoin transactions to identify trends, typologies, and emerging risks, documenting findings for leadership and auditors.
  • Assist with the intake and management of internal referrals, collaborating with real‑time monitoring, product, legal, and other cross‑functional stakeholders to resolve complex cases.
  • Help maintain information‑sharing workflows with law enforcement agencies, regulators, and industry partners, ensuring timely and well‑documented responses.
  • Draft clear, well‑structured investigation summaries, SAR/STR supporting documentation, and case narratives that meet regulatory and internal quality standards.
  • Use AI tools to speed up investigative workflows (e.g., triage, data summarization, drafting), while maintaining ownership and accountability for final decisions and outputs.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of procedures, playbooks, and training materials for transaction monitoring, investigations, and reporting.
  • Participate in the team’s rotating weekend/on‑call coverage and occasional travel to support training, audits, or regulatory meetings, as needed for the role.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in compliance, financial crime investigations, AML, sanctions, law enforcement, or a related risk function (experience with digital assets is a plus).
  • Comfort analyzing large volumes of transactional data, identifying red flags, and structuring end-to-end investigations, including SAR/STR considerations.
  • Exposure to blockchain analytics tools (e.g., transaction tracing, wallet clustering) or a demonstrated interest and aptitude to learn them quickly.
  • Experience working with information-sharing protocols, subpoenas, or other law-enforcement/regulatory requests is strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to produce clear, concise, and well-organized investigative reports and documentation that meet regulatory and internal standards.
  • Demonstrated experience using AI tools to improve how you work (e.g., research, drafting, quality checks) or a strong willingness to adopt them in daily workflows.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and operate in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in finance, criminal justice, law, data/analytics, or a related field—or equivalent professional experience in investigations or financial crime compliance.
