## Description

Block is seeking a Compliance Technology Program Lead to ensure its Machine Learning and Heuristic detection models , and the data infrastructure that feeds them , are fit for purpose, for its fiat and virtual currency products.

This role sits at the intersection of compliance, machine learning, and AI tooling: you will use modern intelligence tools, including Claude and other LLM-based agents, to automate significant portions of oversight, monitoring, and documentation work , turning a traditionally manual, documentation-heavy function into a scalable, defensible program.

## Responsibilities

- Build with Modern AI Tools: Use AI agents (Claude and similar LLM-based tools) to build automation that scales oversight, monitoring, and documentation work , including drafting requirements, exam-ready documentation, data quality monitoring and ongoing model performance reporting.

- Design human-in-the-loop checkpoints so that automated outputs remain defensible to regulators and independent monitors.

- Establish and maintain model and data governance frameworks aligned with SR 11-7, SR 26-2, and OCC 2011-12 so engineering teams can ship defensible models at pace.

- Lead Ongoing Monitoring: Lead the design and development of real-time dashboards to monitor model health, including input data monitoring and ongoing model performance.

- Set standards for threshold tuning and ongoing Below the Line (BTL) testing controls.

- Establish frameworks and triggers for identifying when model performance is degrading and requires tuning or deprecation.

- Provide End-to-End Oversight of Model Development: Oversee Transaction Monitoring models, including heuristic and rules-based detection logic, threshold settings (below the line testing), and the data pipelines that feed alerts.

- Oversee blockchain analytics and screening tools (TRM, Chainalysis).

- Oversee Sanctions Screening models (LexisNexis).

- Oversee Customer Risk Scoring models.

- Oversee the design and validation of AI-driven case resolution.

## Requirements

- 7+ years of experience in compliance technology at regulated financial institutions, or as a consultant working with FIs.

- Hands-on experience building with modern AI tools , including Claude, GPT, or comparable LLM-based agents.

- Experience with both Machine Learning and Heuristic models across Transaction Monitoring, Sanctions Screening, and Customer Risk Scoring.

- Experience with input data quality monitoring.

- Experience with model performance monitoring.

- Experience conducting AML model validations aligned with SR 11-7 and OCC 2011-12.

- Experience with virtual currencies.

- Familiarity with blockchain analytics and screening tools such as Chainalysis and TRM Labs.

- A track record of driving cross-functional initiatives.

- A working understanding of regulated financial services and corresponding compliance obligations.

- Familiarity with statistical concepts related to machine learning.

- Expertise in data analytics and visualization.
