About Paybis

Paybis is a global fintech company operating in crypto and payments — helping users and businesses buy, sell, and move crypto across 180+ countries. We are regulated, profitable, and compliance is central to how we operate every day.

About the Role

We are hiring a Compliance Officer to join our global compliance team. This is a fully autonomous, hands-on role — you will be expected to independently handle AML/CFT cases, apply blockchain monitoring tools, and contribute to process improvements as you grow in the role.

Identify and escalate suspicious activity and red flags in line with internal procedures
Review and maintain compliance policies and internal documentation
Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Fraud, Legal, Operations, and Customer Support
Propose improvements to speed, automation, and compliance processes from month six onward
Reduce backlog, improve delivery speed, and remove operational bottlenecks

What We Expect
