Senior Technical Compliance Executive | London, UK

Join Deriv as a Technical Compliance Specialist and play a pivotal role in transforming the landscape of regulatory compliance. In this position, you will spearhead the implementation and optimisation of cutting-edge regulatory technology solutions, streamlining compliance processes, and ensuring adherence to evolving regulations. Your expertise in AI and automation tools will be essential as you revolutionise compliance workflows, manage data integrity, and mitigate risks.

On a given day, you will:

• Design and deploy intelligent regulatory monitoring systems that aggregate global rule changes, apply NLP to interpret them, and generate impact alerts with recommended actions.
• Build scalable compliance workflows for onboarding, AML, and fraud detection using microservices, real-time data, and rule engines, eliminating manual steps and boosting accuracy.
• Lead integration of cutting-edge RegTech components (AI/ML, blockchain, digital ID) by defining technical requirements, assessing fit, and guiding end-to-end implementation for KYC, transaction monitoring, and sanctions screening.
• Develop secure, automated data governance frameworks that meet global standards (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001, DORA), ensure data integrity, and enable auditability by design.
• Create and refine AI-driven risk models and simulations to uncover fraud, operational risk, and compliance gaps, supported by real-time dashboards, interpretable outputs, and stress testing.
• Run tests on emerging RegTech tools, evaluating them for regulatory impact, integration feasibility, and business value.
• Advance blockchain compliance capabilities for crypto transaction monitoring, counterparty risk scoring, and travel rule adherence, working closely with internal teams and regulators.
• Translate complex regulatory requirements into robust, scalable systems, collaborating with Engineering, Product, Data, and Compliance teams to drive seamless integration.
• Drive adoption of compliance solutions across teams by aligning with business goals, clearly articulating trade-offs, and delivering usable, risk-informed tooling.
• Shape the long-term strategy, staying ahead of regulatory trends and working with global regulators and industry groups to influence future frameworks.

You may enjoy working with us if you:

• Thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your contributions drive meaningful change.
• Enjoy collaborating with a diverse team to tackle complex challenges.
• Like to experiment with AI tools to innovate compliance practices and enhance RegTech solutions.

We would love to work with you if you:

• Have 5+ years of hands-on experience implementing RegTech solutions, compliance systems, or risk management tools in financial services.
• Possess proven expertise in AI/ML tools for compliance use cases (e.g., document analysis, transaction monitoring, regulatory change management).
• Are technically proficient in automation platforms (RPA, low-code tools) and data management systems (SQL, cloud databases).
• Have deep knowledge of regulatory frameworks (AML/CTF, GDPR, DORA, Travel Rule) and their technical requirements.
• Have experience working with RegTech vendors specialising in KYC, monitoring, or regulatory reporting.
• Can translate regulatory mandates into technical specifications for engineers and developers.
• Are fluent in English; additional languages are a plus.
