[Remote] AI Agents Solutions Architect - Compliance

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Kraken is a mission-focused company committed to accelerating the global adoption of crypto. They are seeking an AI Agents Solutions Architect - Compliance to serve as the primary architect and builder of AI-powered solutions within the Compliance team, overseeing the design, deployment, and governance of these solutions across various compliance-related processes.


Responsibilities

  • Design and deploy AI-powered Compliance solutions
  • Architect and build agentic workflows using n8n, Claude API, Python, and MCP that take real actions in Compliance processes with appropriate human oversight and approval gates
  • Design and deliver solutions across priority Compliance use cases: alert pre-screening, case narrative generation, regulatory change summarization, EDD report drafting, and audit-ready documentation
  • Build scalable, automated analytics solutions that deliver high-quality, repeatable risk insights for Compliance leadership and regulators
  • Apply AI-enabled techniques for text analysis, transaction pattern recognition, and workflow automation to surface actionable signals from high-volume data
  • Build error handling, audit trails, regulatory-calendar awareness, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints into every production system before deployment
  • Ensure all automations comply with data classification requirements for customer PII, regulated financial data, and cross-jurisdictional privacy obligations including GDPR and applicable AML data retention rules
  • Own governance and risk for Compliance AI systems
  • Classify all automation builds by risk tier before work begins. No build goes to production without a named Process Owner, documented data flows, access controls confirmed, and regulatory impact assessed
  • Maintain audit logging and documentation for all systems touching regulated data, SAR workflows, or sanctions-adjacent processes
  • Halt or redesign builds that introduce unacceptable regulatory, legal, or data privacy risk. Own that decision and secure organizational acceptance before proceeding
  • Serve as the Compliance domain representative in contributing to governance standards, model risk management, and cross-functional build alignment across the Automate Everything initiative
  • Multiply the Compliance team's capability
  • Produce documentation, workflow templates, and runbooks that Compliance professionals can use and maintain without technical support
  • Train Compliance team members on AI-assisted tools and workflows deployed in production. Drive adoption, not just delivery
  • Track and report on automation impact: alert review time reduced, case throughput increased, regulatory report cycle time shortened, and analyst capacity unlocked for higher-risk work
  • Act as a force multiplier for the Compliance team, enabling investigators and analysts to focus on high-judgment, high-risk decisions through process, technology, and AI enablement

Skills

  • 8+ years of experience in Compliance operations, financial crime, regulatory technology, or a combined compliance and technical role with demonstrated senior-level execution
  • Strong fluency with AI and workflow automation tools, with demonstrated experience designing, deploying, and driving adoption of AI solutions within Compliance or RegTech workflows
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience designing and deploying AI-powered or automated workflows in a production environment used by others, not just experimentation
  • Deep working knowledge of anti-financial crime (e.g. AML/CFT, sanctions, transaction monitoring systems), capital markets compliance (e.g. sales and trading, market conduct, transaction surveillance, conflicts management) and data privacy frameworks
  • Systems thinker with a strong implementation mindset -- able to move from discovery to design to build to deployment to optimization without relying on external consultants
  • Proficiency with AI tooling stack: n8n, Python, Claude API/Anthropic SDK, or equivalent. Experience connecting Compliance systems via API is required
  • Strong analytical problem-solving skills with the ability to structure ambiguous compliance questions into clear, actionable, automated analysis
  • Solid understanding of data classification, customer PII handling, and cross-jurisdictional compliance obligations including GDPR, BSA, FATF standards, and applicable AML data retention requirements
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills. Able to translate technical automation solutions and complex analytical results for Compliance professionals, senior leadership, and regulators who are not technical
  • Experience with case management platforms (Actimize, NICE Actimize, Quantexa, or equivalent) and their API or integration architecture
  • Experience using AI for document analysis, transaction narrative generation, or regulatory report drafting in a financial crime or compliance context
  • Familiarity with regulatory examination readiness: documentation standards, model risk governance, and audit trail requirements for AI-assisted compliance decisions
  • Experience with spreheet automation (Google Apps Script or equivalent) and advanced proficiency in Excel and Google Sheets for compliance analytics
  • Python programming skills for transaction data analysis, risk scoring models, or compliance pipeline automation
  • Background in compliance technology platform administration: AML systems, KYC platforms, case management, markets business conduct or sanctions screening tools
  • Prior experience standing up or operating a RegTech, compliance automation, or financial crime analytics function
  • Experience in crypto, fintech, payments, capital markets or a regulated financial institution operating across multiple jurisdictions with exposure to FinCEN, SEC, FCA, MAS, or equivalent regulatory bodies
