Senior Product Engineer, Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Location: Canada

Department: Engineering

Location Type: REMOTE

Employment Type: FULL_TIME

Your opportunity


Our client is a well-financed, seed-stage startup building a platform of agents that automate financial crime investigations and compliance workflows. The company is a Delaware corporation that currently operates with remote teams distributed across the United States and Canada. They are a hard-charging startup that has raised $6.2M, grew to $1M in ARR in under one year, and has marquee clients around the globe including Kraken (US), Koho (Canada), and Viva (EU).

Their product enables customers to invoke (or “hire”) agents that automate AML, sanctions screening, adverse media monitoring, KYC, and transaction screening and monitoring. The solution combats revenue losses that result from high-friction customer onboarding and the rising costs of compliance missteps, and allows growing businesses to scale revenues rapidly without making compliance tradeoffs. The product is not versioned for customers, and the engineering team deploys daily.

The company is led by an experienced founder who has raised more than $100M to date and has grown their last venture to a $1.5B valuation. Both the founder and CTO have led fintechs that required large compliance teams and have had outlier experience in the domain. As of November 2025, the company does not yet have any direct competitors in its space.
