Zyphe is a Compliance-as-a-Service company that combines AI agents with experienced human analysts to manage the full compliance lifecycle for regulated businesses. The company serves fintechs, banks, investment platforms, crypto firms and professional services companies across Europe, the UK and the US, offering KYC, KYB, AML screening, transaction monitoring, fraud prevention and SAR preparation.
In this role, you will be a human-in-the-loop analyst on real client portfolios, responsible for case review and decisioning on KYC and KYB files prepared by AI agents. You'll make final calls on approvals, rejections and escalations, analyse corporate structures, reconstruct ownership chains and confirm ultimate beneficial owners using official registers and supporting documents. You'll assess risk ratings and challenge them when evidence doesn't support the outcome.
You'll triage sanctions, PEP and adverse-media alerts, discount false positives with clear rationale and escalate true matches. You'll conduct enhanced due diligence on higher-risk customers, including source of funds and source of wealth assessments, and support investigations into unusual activity and SAR drafting.
You'll handle periodic reviews and trigger-event reviews across client portfolios, and review transaction monitoring alerts where clients use that service. Every decision must stand up to audit, so you'll write concise, well-reasoned case notes and maintain audit trails.
A key part of this role is working directly with the CTO and product team to define how AI agents should reason, what they should flag and what a "good" file looks like. You'll spot recurring failure patterns and turn them into concrete product improvements, test new features before client release and help write the playbooks agents follow. You'll also join client calls with compliance teams and MLROs to walk through complex cases and gather feedback.
You'll report to the founding team and work day-to-day with Manuel (CTO) and the product/engineering team, alongside Hendrik (Co-Founder & CRO) on client-facing work. You'll be one of the first compliance hires in London with real influence over how the function grows.
