Douro Labs, the core development team behind the Pyth Network, is seeking a Compliance Officer to build and manage AML/KYC processes and lay the groundwork for potential regulatory licensing in the EU. This hybrid compliance and operations role reports to the General Counsel and serves as the primary safeguard between Douro Labs and the institutional clients, prime brokers, and financial infrastructure players we onboard. You will manage both the supply side of trust (running AML/KYC review on customers and companies entering our network) and the regulatory side (building the policies, audits, and controls that let Douro Labs pursue EU benchmark administrator licensing).
What you'll do
- Manage the ongoing AML/KYC review queue via Sumsub, request and follow up on additional information from flagged customers and companies, and escalate higher-risk or ambiguous cases to the General Counsel
- Apply onboarding policy consistently across individual and company customers
- Manage and maintain company-wide AML and sanctions policies
- Work with engineering to build tracking for feed usage by product type and jurisdiction (EU/UK volume), monitor usage against regulatory thresholds, and manage customer usage audits
- Help prepare groundwork for potential EU benchmark administrator licensing, including developing and implementing policies, procedures, and structures required to seek registration as a benchmark administrator in the EU
- Keep internal policies current across Douro Labs' multiple entities and manage Douro Labs' onboarding processes at counterparties' request
- Serve as the point of contact for financial compliance, coordinating statutory deliverables with the Finance team and maintaining appropriate record keeping
- Maintain internal financial controls including approval workflows, segregation of duties, and digital asset policies
- Coordinate the annual external and financial audit for relevant entities and serve as the compliance point of contact for auditors
- Work with the Head of Finance to ensure comprehensive coverage of all tax obligations across all entities
- Ensure billing and revenue recognition align with signed customer contracts and applicable standards
- Flag contract terms with financial or compliance implications and upcoming renewals
- Track concentration risk across major counterparties
What you bring
- Background in compliance operations, AML/KYC, or a related regulatory function
- Ability to manage a recurring operational workload independently
- Clear communication skills, particularly when requesting documentation from customers
- Interest in growing into a full Compliance Officer role as regulatory footprint expands
- Comfort with startup pace and evolving scope
Nice to have
- Crypto, DeFi, or financial infrastructure familiarity
What we offer
- Remote work (EU-based preferred)
- Full-time position
