About the role
KYC is often the first critical interaction users have with a financial platform. You will own the KYC product experience, balancing regulatory requirements, fraud prevention, review accuracy, and user conversion across global markets. Your work will determine whether legitimate users can complete verification quickly while higher-risk cases receive the appropriate level of review.
What you'll do
- Own the end-to-end KYC journey, including data collection, document upload, OCR, liveness checks, automated decisions, manual review, and result communication
- Build the KYC measurement framework, using conversion, approval, false-rejection, review-time, and vendor-performance data to identify bottlenecks
- Design automated review and tiered verification strategies that increase straight-through approval without weakening risk controls
- Evaluate and integrate KYC vendors based on geographic coverage, recognition accuracy, stability, cost, and regulatory suitability
- Translate regulatory and risk requirements into clear user flows, decision rules, exception handling, and operational tools
- Explore emerging identity technologies, including AI-assisted verification and alternative data validation, and turn viable solutions into production capabilities
What we're looking for
- You have owned a KYC product or a similarly regulated identity-verification journey from design through production iteration
- You understand how document recognition, OCR, liveness detection, automated review, and manual review work together
- You can diagnose conversion and accuracy problems through funnel analysis rather than treating every drop-off as a user-experience issue
- You can make practical trade-offs between approval speed, false rejection, fraud exposure, compliance, and operational cost
- You can work directly with compliance, risk, engineering, operations, and external vendors to turn ambiguous requirements into shipped products
- You pay attention to edge cases and understand that a verification decision affects both user access and platform risk
Bonus
- Experience improving straight-through approval rates while controlling false approvals and false rejections
- Familiarity with major KYC providers and their strengths across different countries, languages, and document types
- Experience with global fintech, payments, trading platforms, digital identity, or fraud-prevention products
- Exposure to AI-based identity verification, document forensics, or automated decision systems
