[Hiring] AML Analyst @Lucinity

Role Description

Lucinity is the Human AI company fighting financial crime — blending human judgment with AI to help compliance teams increase capacity and strengthen oversight without giving up control. Most AML analysts review alerts. You'll review alerts — and help build the AI that changes how that work gets done. This is a 6-month contract on Lucinity's operations team. The role is hands-on: real alerts, real investigations, real escalations. But it comes with an unusual twist. As you work through cases, you'll collaborate directly with the team developing Luci, our AI agent — helping shape how AI and human analysts work together to cut investigation time without cutting corners. Your real-world feedback directly informs how we train, tune, and deploy AI-assisted workflows.

What You’ll Do

• Review transaction monitoring alerts generated by Lucinity’s platform, assess them for suspicious activity, and escalate cases where warranted.
• Help tune and improve detection scenarios using our no-code configuration tools to reduce false positives without missing the real risks.

Responsibilities

• Review and triage AML alerts in line with applicable AML policies and risk appetite.
• Conduct initial investigations into potentially suspicious activity, documenting findings clearly and completely.
• Escalate cases requiring SAR filing, ensuring reports are accurate, timely, and regulatory-defensible.
• Provide structured feedback on alert quality, investigation workflows, and tooling — your observations feed directly into how we develop AI-assisted investigation capabilities.
• Collaborate with the compliance and product teams to improve investigation efficiency and consistency.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of relevant AML regulations and typologies — FATF guidance, local financial intelligence unit requirements, and emerging financial crime trends.
• Contribute to quality assurance processes and help build internal knowledge on emerging typologies.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in AML compliance, financial crime operations, or a closely related role at a bank, fintech, or payment institution. Transaction monitoring experience is strongly preferred.
• Solid understanding of AML typologies, alert investigation workflows, and SAR filing requirements.
• Experience working within a risk-based approach and comfort applying regulatory frameworks in practice.
• Clear, accurate written communication — your case notes and SAR narratives speak for themselves.
• A collaborative working style; you share what you know and ask when you don’t.
• Familiarity with transaction monitoring or case management platforms.

Desirable

• ICA, ACAMS, or equivalent certification; experience with multiple monitoring platforms or multi-entity compliance structures.

Benefits

• Be part of a mission-driven company helping the world fight financial crime.
• Work at the frontier of Human AI operations — your day-to-day investigation work directly shapes how Luci, our AI agent, is built and deployed.
• Collaborate with a curious, international, and impact-focused team spread globally.
• Work fully remotely from anywhere in the world.
• Have a genuine say in how AI-assisted compliance evolves — not from a product roadmap, but from the investigation floor.
