Kraken, one of the world's longest-standing crypto exchanges with over 10 million users, is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to architect and deploy AI-powered solutions within its Global Compliance team. This is a full-stack ownership role spanning opportunity identification, solution design, deployment, governance, and capability transfer across multiple jurisdictions and products (spot trading, margin, futures, staking, OTC, payments, equities, custody).
You will design and deploy AI-powered compliance solutions using n8n, Claude API, Python, and MCP to automate high-impact workflows including alert pre-screening, case narrative generation, regulatory change summarization, EDD report drafting, and audit-ready documentation. You'll build scalable analytics solutions delivering risk insights for compliance leadership and regulators, applying AI techniques for text analysis, transaction pattern recognition, and workflow automation. Every production system will include error handling, audit trails, regulatory-calendar awareness, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
You will own governance and risk for compliance AI systems by classifying automations by risk tier, maintaining audit logging for regulated data and SAR workflows, and halting builds that introduce unacceptable regulatory, legal, or data privacy risk. You'll serve as the compliance domain representative in cross-functional governance standards and model risk management.
You will multiply the compliance team's capability by producing documentation, workflow templates, and runbooks that compliance professionals can use independently, training team members on AI-assisted tools, and tracking automation impact metrics (alert review time, case throughput, regulatory report cycle time, analyst capacity unlocked).
Required: 8+ years in compliance operations, financial crime, regulatory technology, or combined compliance/technical roles; strong fluency with AI and workflow automation tools with demonstrated production deployments; hands-on experience designing AI-powered workflows; deep knowledge of AML/CFT, sanctions, transaction monitoring, capital markets compliance, and data privacy frameworks (GDPR, BSA, FATF, AML retention); proficiency with n8n, Python, Claude API, or equivalents; systems thinking with implementation mindset; strong analytical and communication skills; solid understanding of data classification and cross-jurisdictional compliance obligations.
Nice to have: experience with case management platforms (Actimize, NICE Actimize, Quantexa).
