[Remote] AI Agents Solutions Architect - Compliance
Auto ImportNote: 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

- 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
