Anti-Money Laundering Specialist Full Time

Join KuCoin EU and help strengthen our AML operations as we build compliant crypto infrastructure for Europe.

As part of our AML Investigations team, you’ll play a hands-on role in detecting unusual activity, investigating potential financial crime, and supporting customer onboarding reviews. You’ll work closely with KYC, Compliance, and Operations teams to identify suspicious behavior, conduct Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and prepare narrative information for SAR filings.

This is an operational role with real impact, contributing directly to the integrity and security of KuCoin EU’s platform.

Your work will include investigations, KYC reviews, sanctions screening follow-ups, and ad-hoc compliance projects – all within a fast-paced, international environment.
