Blockchain Compliance Specialist

Design the future architecture of one of Europe's most innovative banking networks while empowering engineers to do their best work.

Role Summary

As a Blockchain Compliance Specialist, you will execute and oversee day-to-day compliance controls for ING’s blockchain and digital asset activities.

You will work at the intersection of blockchain analytics, financial crime compliance, AML/CFT, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, Travel Rule operations, case management, and regulatory reporting.

Your mission is to help ING identify, assess, investigate, and escalate financial crime risks linked to digital assets through consistent, timely, explainable, and auditable operational processes.

This is a hands-on compliance operations role. You are expected to understand how regulatory obligations translate into monitoring procedures, alert handling, investigations, decision records, escalations, management information, and evidence trails.
