Who we are

Bitpanda simplifies wealth creation. Founded in 2014 in Vienna, Austria by Eric Demuth, Paul Klanschek and Christian Trummer, Bitpanda exists to help people trust themselves enough to build financial freedom for their future. Our user-friendly, trade-everything platform empowers both first-time investors and seasoned experts to invest in the cryptocurrencies, crypto indices, stocks, precious metals and commodities they want — all possible with any sized budget, 24/7. With more than 700 team members and more than 4 million customers, our company is one of Europe's most successful fintechs.

Headquartered in Austria but operating across all of Europe, our products are built by fast-moving, talented, “roll-up-your-sleeves-and-make-it-happen” kind of people who represent more than 50 nationalities. If you’re someone who thinks big, moves fast and wants to make an impact right from day one, then get ready to join our industry-changing team. Let’s go!

Your mission

As a member of Compliance Operations, your mission will involve balancing the delivery of an exceptional Proof of Funds experience with ensuring robust compliance, while also mitigating any risks of non-compliance to the applicable rules in the anti-money laundering framework. Being a domain owner, you will constantly seek for improvements in our workflows and detect any technical issues that might affect the Proof of Funds and the AML transaction monitoring flows.

What you’ll do

  • Conduct the first line of defence (1LoD) in reviewing the Source of Funds and / or Source of Wealth (crypto and fiat) on both B2C and B2B customers, also delivering feedback to the relevant stakeholders, remediating detected issues and preparing internal reports.
  • Oversee customers’ financial activity on a transaction-based model, spotting any red flags on users' accounts or related to users’ behaviour and applying relevant measures.
  • Investigate Fiat and / or Crypto cases using a variety of tools (i.e. Chainalysis), databases and OSINT, prepare investigation reports and, if necessary, escalate cases to the AMLO, suggesting if a SAR has to be filed or not.
  • Provide insight and recommendations for streamlining and enhancing the various activities related to the Proof of Funds and Transaction Monitoring processes.
  • Be proactively involved in the ongoing projects aiming at automating the workflows and documenting the processes.

Who you are

  • Proven prior work experience in a FinTech company or in management consulting firms or in VASPs with non-face-to-face customers, specifically within the Compliance, AML, Fraud Prevention or Customer Due Diligence departments.
  • Comprehensive understanding of all types of financial crime patterns and of the AML / CTF landscape, with proven analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Knowledge of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain.
  • Keen interest in automation to reduce manual work, Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) and Process Design and Documentation (PDD).
  • Preference to work afternoons and evenings (3:30pm until midnight), Tuesday to Saturday.

What’s in it for you

  • Competitive total compensation package including participation in our stock option plan
  • Market-leading Flex-Ben approach and package (see our careers page)
  • Exclusive premiums when trading on Bitpanda
  • Occasional company-wide and team events - both in-person and virtually!
  • Bitpanda swag to keep you living the brand
  • A diverse team of fast-moving, talented, “roll-up-your-sleeves-and-make-it-happen” kind of people who are united (across cultures and time zones) by our unique way of working

And, above all, the opportunity to learn and grow as part of Bitpanda’s incredible journey towards being Europe’s future #1 investment platform.

Bitpanda is committed to fostering a fair and equal environment based on trust and mutual respect. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workplace is paramount to our success and we are committed to building a team that represents a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
