- Design, develop, and enhance OFAC & sanctions screening systems, list management tools, and alert workflows.

- Build and optimize name screening, fuzzy matching, entity resolution, and risk scoring algorithms.

- Integrate OFAC SDN lists, global sanctions lists, PEP lists, and internal watchlists into screening solutions.

- Ensure real-time and batch screening processes run efficiently, with minimal false positives.

Compliance System Engineering :

- Develop and maintain applications for AML, sanctions monitoring, KYC checks, and compliance reporting.

- Implement data ingestion pipelines for sanctions lists, adverse media, and external compliance feeds.

- Work with APIs, microservices, and ETL pipelines to deliver reliable compliance data workflows.

- Ensure systems maintain strict audit trails, logging, and regulatory documentation standards.

Alert Management & Workflow Automation :

- Build and enhance alert review workflows, investigator tools, and case management integrations.

- Automate risk scoring logic, escalation rules, disposition tracking, and reporting.

- Implement role-based access controls, reviewer queues, and workflow performance dashboards.

Data Quality, Matching Logic & Optimization :

- Improve fuzzy matching, phonetic matching (Soundex, Metaphone), and entity resolution logic.

- Reduce false positives through algorithm optimization, machine learning models (optional), and custom rule logic.

- Ensure data quality, enrichment, and normalization across internal and external data sources.

Testing, Validation & Compliance Assurance :

- Conduct UAT validation of newly published sanctions lists or matching logic changes.

- Perform accuracy, precision, and performance testing on screening logic.

- Ensure systems meet regulatory expectations from OFAC, FinCEN, FATF, EU/UN, etc.

- Prepare documentation for audits, compliance reviews, and regulatory exams.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Coordination :

- Work closely with compliance teams (AML, sanctions, fraud) to gather requirements.

- Collaborate with DevOps for deployment, monitoring, scaling, and availability.

- Partner with risk and legal to understand regulatory updates and convert them into technical requirements.

- Support investigators, analysts, and operational teams with enhancements and issue resolution.

Qualifications & Skills :

Must-Have :

- 3-7+ years of experience as a Developer / Software Engineer in FinCrime, AML, OFAC, sanctions screening, or compliance technology.

- Experience with :

OFAC SDN list integrations
Sanctions list management
Fuzzy matching, entity resolution algorithms
Compliance platforms (Fircosoft, Accuity, Actimize, Oracle FCCM, etc.)

- Knowledge of AML/KYC regulations, OFAC guidelines, and sanctions risk principles.

- Strong experience with SQL, data modeling, ETL pipelines, APIs, microservices.

- Familiarity with message queues, REST APIs, and event-driven architecture.

Good to Have :

- Experience with ML-based name matching / anomaly detection systems.

- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).

- Experience working with Kafka, Spark, Airflow, or other data engineering tools.

- Knowledge of case management systems (i.e. Actimize IFM, FCRM, Mantas)
