KYC/AML compliance analyst with 6+ years in crypto and TON ecosystems.
BelarusWhat I'm looking for
I’m a crypto-native KYC/AML compliance professional with 6+ years across regulated CEX platforms and the TON blockchain ecosystem. I focus on identity verification, customer due diligence (CDD/EDD), transaction monitoring, suspicious activity escalation (SAR), and sanctions screening.
In risk and compliance work, I’ve queried production exchange databases with SQL to extract trading, volume, and user activity data for risk assessment and regulatory reporting. I built SQL-based trading activity dashboards and country-level risk maps that helped compliance officers monitor geographic exposure and flag anomalies.
I’ve handled high-volume, fully remote KYC/AML operations as a primary escalation point for cases, account restrictions, and suspicious activity reviews. I conduct risk-based account reviews, formally escalate suspicious transactions with structured case files, and coordinate investigation outcomes with compliance and product teams to ensure policy-aligned resolutions.
I’m also experienced in regulator-aware compliance practices, including FATF recommendations, EU AMLD directives, and the HTP framework governing crypto exchanges in Belarus. I’ve contributed to HTP regulatory reporting and audit-readiness, authored SOPs and KYC procedure guides, and mentored junior agents on AML red-flag identification and escalation protocols.
