AI Agents Solutions Architect - Compliance

Responsibilities

You will serve as the primary architect and builder of AI-powered solutions within the Kraken Compliance team. This full‑stack ownership role spans opportunity identification, solution design, deployment, governance, and capability transfer. The role requires strategic work to "automate everything" while building a data‑driven compliance machine across multiple jurisdictions and products (crypto, payments, futures, equities, custody, margin).

• Architect and build agentic workflows using n8n, Claude API, Python, and MCP that take real actions in Compliance processes with 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.

• 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.
• Serve as the Compliance domain representative in contributing to governance standards, model risk management, and cross‑functional build alignment across the Automate Everything initiative.

• 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.

• 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 Reg Tech workflows.
• 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 (AML/CFT, sanctions, transaction monitoring systems), capital markets compliance (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…
