Full Job Description
About the Role

We are looking for a sharp, motivated Compliance Analyst to join our Compliance team with a primary focus on transaction monitoring, alert review, and case investigation. This is a do-er role - you will be working the alert queue daily, conducting investigations, making SAR recommendations, and contributing directly to the quality and effectiveness of our TM program. You are expected to think critically, document thoroughly, and move with urgency without cutting corners.

This is not a policy or advisory role. You are in the work every day - reviewing alerts, building cases, and helping ensure that suspicious activity is identified, investigated, and reported accurately and on time.

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 We're Looking For
  • 3 to 5+ 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
  • Your alert queue is current - SLA compliance above 95% consistently
  • Your case documentation is complete and independently reviewable
  • Your SAR narratives meet internal and FinCen quality standards on the first draft - minimal rework required from senior reviewers
  • You are identifying patterns and typologies across your alert population and bringing those observations to the team proactively
