Senior Executive KYC/AML Specialist

Our Mission and Vision

At Solidgate, our mission is clear: to empower outstanding entrepreneurs to build exceptional internet companies. We fuel the builders shaping the digital economy with the financial infrastructure they deserve. Our bold goal: to become the #1 payments orchestration platform in the world.

We believe the future of payments is built by people who think big, take ownership, and bring curiosity to everything they do. That's who we want next to us.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Executive KYC/AML Specialist who has already seen how merchant onboarding works at scale — and wants to build it even better.

If you've been doing underwriting, KYC, or CDD at a global PSP, acquirer, or regulated fintech — you already know the complexity we operate in. Now imagine bringing that experience to a team where your input shapes the process, not just follows it.

You'll take full ownership of our KYC/CDD and merchant onboarding compliance, partner with operations, risk, and product teams, and work side by side with Inna, our Head of Compliance — the driving force behind Solidgate's compliance success for the past six years.

This is not a checkbox role. You'll actively design processes, implement best practices, and help us scale responsibly across every market we operate in.

Sounds sexy enough? Just keep reading below :)

What You'll Own as a Senior Executive KYC/AML Specialist:

• Full KYC/CDD lifecycle for new and ongoing merchants from document review to ongoing monitoring.

• Validation of client documentation: ID, proof of residence, corporate records.

• Website and business model reviews for compliance with Card Scheme and acquirer requirements.

• Direct communication with merchants and partners throughout onboarding.

• Identification and escalation of suspicious activity and regulatory red flags.

You're a Great Fit if You Have

• Experience in merchant onboarding, KYC/CDD, or underwriting at a fintech, PSP, acquirer, or bank.

• Hands-on knowledge of AML/KYC frameworks and regulatory requirements in payments.

• Sharp analytical skills and extreme attention to detail — you catch what others miss.

• High-level English (B2+), written and spoken.

• A proactive mindset: you identify gaps and fix them before anyone asks.

Nice to Have

• Background at a global PSP, acquirer, or licensed payment institution.

Why Solidgate?

Own something real. This isn't a support function — compliance here has a seat at the table. You'll shape how we onboard merchants, influence risk decisions, and build processes that scale across markets.

No hand-holding. You'll work autonomously, move fast, and see the direct impact of your decisions on how the business grows.

Learn from the best. Work side by side with seasoned legal and fintech professionals — and expand into AML, risk, privacy, or regulatory strategy as your career evolves.

Go global. Engage directly with financial institutions, card schemes, and partners across Europe and the US — not through layers of management, but hands-on.

Invest in yourself. Learning budget, professional certifications, English — all covered. Because your growth is part of our growth.

💌 The Extras: 30+ days off, unlimited sick leave, free office meals, health coverage, Apple gear, courses, conferences, sports and wellness benefits.

Tomorrow's payments infrastructure needs your expertise. Come build it with us.
