Compliance Officer — Crypto / Fintech

Paybis is a global fintech company operating in crypto and payments — helping users and businesses buy, sell, and move crypto across 180+ countries. We are regulated, profitable, and compliance is central to how we operate every day.

We are hiring a Compliance Officer to join our global compliance team. This is a fully autonomous, hands-on role — you will be expected to independently handle AML/CFT cases, apply blockchain monitoring tools, and contribute to process improvements as you grow in the role.

This is not a support or coordination position. From day one, you own your case queue and make compliance decisions independently.

• Independently handle AML, sanctions, and compliance cases within assigned scope
• Conduct CDD/EDD reviews, corporate onboardings, and risk assessments
• Perform sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and SAR escalations
• Use blockchain analytics tools (e.g. Chainalysis, Elliptic) and KYC/KYB platforms (e.g. Sumsub) daily
• Identify and escalate suspicious activity and red flags in line with internal procedures
• Review and maintain compliance policies and internal documentation
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Fraud, Legal, Operations, and Customer Support
• Propose improvements to speed, automation, and compliance processes from month six onward
• Reduce backlog, improve delivery speed, and remove operational bottlenecks

Must-have

• 3+ years in AML, compliance, or risk management within a regulated EU entity — crypto, fintech, or blockchain
• Strong knowledge of AML/CFT, sanctions, and EU regulatory frameworks (MiCA, AMLD, Travel Rule, PSD2)
• Hands-on daily experience with blockchain monitoring and KYC/KYB verification tools
• Strong analytical skills and direct experience conducting risk assessments
• Fluency in English — written and verbal

Nice-to-have

• Experience across multiple jurisdictions (US, CA, UK, AUS)
• CAMS, ICA or equivalent certification
• Experience in a scale-up or high-growth environment

This role will fit you if:

• You take full ownership of your work without needing to be chased
• You are comfortable making decisions in ambiguous situations
• You treat compliance as a business enabler, not a blocker
• You adapt fast and prefer low-bureaucracy environments

• HR interview
• Chief of Compliance & Compliance Officer interview
• Reference check

• Exciting and challenging work in the fast-growing fintech & cryptocurrency sector.
• Friendly, supportive, and skilled colleagues.
• Competitive salary plus bi-annual performance bonuses.
• Professional development budget for courses, seminars, and conferences.
• Cozy, modern office in the center of Riga.
• Free snacks, fruits, coffee, and more in the office.
• Paid lunch in the office and free parking.
• Health insurance after the probation period.
• Corporate events, team-building activities, and a supportive work environment.
