At MB | Mercado Bitcoin, you will lead the design and execution of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) program for our hybrid payments infrastructure. You will mitigate risks at the intersection of the Brazilian foreign exchange market, traditional banking rails, and the virtual asset ecosystem.

What you'll do

• Develop and calibrate scenarios for continuous operational monitoring to identify irregularities in foreign exchange operations (spot, futures, financial, and commercial) integrated with crypto assets
• Conduct economic basis analysis by preparing and requesting RFIs, evaluating client and counterparty financial capacity, transaction coherence, and supporting foreign exchange documentation (invoices, contracts, import/export billing)
• Identify nested relationships by monitoring the network of agents, PSAVs/VASPs partners, and intermediaries to ensure control integrity in consolidated flows
• Conduct enhanced due diligence (CDD/EDD) on accounts and clients to identify ultimate beneficial owners (UBO), source of funds, and transactional profile
• Prepare regulatory communications including technical opinions, investigation dossiers, and suspicious activity reports to COAF, and respond to demands from the Central Bank of Brazil (Bacen)
• Support product and service development across different client operational models by assessing and monitoring AML/CFT risks and compliance in commercial partnerships, ensuring correct application of KYC/KYP by partners
• Ensure that cross-border transactions (fiat and virtual assets) transmit complete originator and beneficiary data in compliance with virtual asset regulatory standards
• Integrate classic transactional monitoring with blockchain traceability tools through on-chain and off-chain analysis of wallets and smart contracts
• Verify sanctions screening and geolocation effectiveness by ensuring automated blocks against national and international sanctions lists and IP blocks in high-risk jurisdictions
• Serve as the technical focal point for sending and responding to Requests for Information (RFIs) from correspondent banks and partner institutions

What you bring

• Solid experience in AML/CFT in the Brazilian foreign exchange market (banks, brokerages, or distributors), in compliance roles at Virtual Asset Service Providers (PSAVs), and/or in remittance and cross-border payment operations
• Broad expertise in Central Bank of Brazil regulations for the foreign exchange market, including Resolutions BCB No. 44/2020, BCB No. 277/2022, and Law No. 14,478/2022
• Familiarity with validation of documentary support for commercial and financial foreign exchange operations
• Practical knowledge of blockchain functionality, stablecoin architecture, and on-chain analysis tools such as Chainalysis, TRM Labs, or Elliptic
• Advanced or fluent English (required for international RFI responses and global partner analysis)

Nice to have
