As a Risk Control Specialist at RedotPay, you own on-chain risk detection, prevention, and mitigation for our wallet and deposit infrastructure. You'll build and operate monitoring rules, alerts, and response workflows to protect user funds, prevent illicit and sanctioned inflows, and support AML/CFT compliance while enabling business growth.
What you'll do
- Design and continuously improve on-chain monitoring rules and models for deposits, address interactions, fund source analysis, and anomalous patterns.
- Monitor company wallet activity (hot, warm, and cold), deposit addresses, and high-risk interactions in real time or near real time.
- Detect and investigate suspicious behaviors such as mixers, tumblers, risky protocols, rapid layering, and abnormal deposit patterns.
- Implement risk controls such as deposit credit gating, address screening, exposure limits, and intervention workflows (automated and manual).
- Define thresholds by network, token, and wallet tier (hot, warm, cold).
- Support decisions such as delaying or returning deposits, freezing addresses, and escalating cases with Operations and Compliance.
- Lead and support investigations and produce clear risk assessment reports with recommended actions (hold, block, release, escalate, SAR, STR, or referral).
- Maintain case workflows, escalation matrices, and documentation standards.
- Partner with Compliance on sanctions screening and regulatory reporting.
- Work with Product, Engineering, and Data to define tooling, dashboards, alerting, and decision engines.
- Tune rules to balance detection quality, false positives, and operational efficiency.
- Track KPIs including coverage, true positive rate, handling time, and residual risk.
- Collaborate across Wallet and Deposit Operations, Product, Compliance, Legal, and Treasury teams.
What you bring
- 3 years of experience in crypto risk, blockchain analytics, AML transaction monitoring, or digital asset compliance and operations with on-chain and wallet exposure.

- Hands-on experience with blockchain analytics tools such as Chainalysis, Elliptic, TRM, Arkham, or equivalent.
- Experience designing and operating risk rules, alerts, and case investigations.
- Familiarity with AML/CFT and sanctions expectations for virtual asset service providers.
