Join our mission as our next Compliance Analyst, helping safeguard our company's future. As a key member of our Compliance team, you'll protect our business while enabling innovation and growth.

We are looking for a Compliance Analyst to join our growing team at UGLYCASH. This isn’t your typical compliance role — we need someone passionate about both compliance excellence and technological innovation.

This is a fast-paced, high-impact position that requires exceptional attention to detail, sound judgment, and strong communication skills in both English and Spanish, as you’ll collaborate with global teams and partners.

We’re seeking a candidate with a strong foundation in compliance and analytics who also brings curiosity and hands-on experience with emerging AI technologies and automation systems. You should be excited about applying these tools to improve compliance workflows, enhance efficiency, and scale operations.

An engineering background or data science skills are a major plus, especially if you’re comfortable working with structured and unstructured data, interpreting detection models, and partnering with product and engineering teams.

You’ll be expected to leverage AI-based tools to streamline core processes such as transaction monitoring, alert triage, case management, and reporting, while also identifying opportunities to enhance and refine our existing systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Run KYC procedures during onboarding to ensure compliance with our policies and regulations.
• Perform CDD and EDD reviews depending on user risk.
• Monitor transactions using our internal systems and flag suspicious patterns.
• Investigate and escalate red flags related to fraud, sanctions, anti-money laundering (AML), or terrorist financing, including Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) filings as necessary.
• You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with our Product and Engineering teams to continuously improve our detection systems, applying data-driven thinking and AI-powered tools to refine existing logic and propose new risk indicators.

Requirements

• Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish is required.
• Full-time availability, Monday through Friday.
• The ability to work from our office in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, Monday through Thursday.
• At least 1 year of compliance experience or proven basic knowledge in the field (risk mitigation, KYC, CDD, EDD, monitoring systems).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Self-driven, adaptable, and possess an innovative mindset.
• Strong interest in (or experience using) AI to optimize compliance workflows.
• Bonus: An engineering background and/or data science knowledge are highly preferred and will help you succeed in this role.

Benefits

• Compensation: We offer competitive compensation; salaries are 100% USD-denominated
• Location: Convenient and centrally located office in Buenos Aires (Belgrano)
• Lunch: Take advantage of having a daily lunch brought directly to the office with a 70% subsidy
