About the role

The Financial Crime Operations department is at the forefront of Revolut’s efforts to keep customers and their money safe. These agents work directly with customers to resolve issues and flag potential concerns. Using cutting-edge technology, we aim to prevent financial crime in a way the financial world hasn’t seen so far 💫

We're looking for a Crypto Analyst to work with the Compliance team on safeguarding our customers’ accounts. It’s only for the most responsible, conscientious, brave individuals. The ones who aren’t afraid of the challenges of the complex financial world.

We’re a global fintech, so we have to be available 24/7. That sometimes means working nights and weekends. We’ll compensate you for night shifts, but we understand this still isn’t for everyone so please bear that in mind before applying.
