Senior Product Manager – AML & Financial Crime Compliance
Company Overview
Gate is one of the top 5 global cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, trusted by over 15 million users across 200+ countries.
Founded in 2013 (formerly Gate.io), we offer a comprehensive suite of spot, margin, futures, and options products for retail and institutional traders.
We combine deep market expertise with a commitment to innovation and security.
Join a global team where you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of trading at scale.
About The Role
We are seeking a seasoned AML Product Manager to own and enhance our company-wide financial crime risk control solutions.
In this critical individual contributor role, you will report directly to the Head of Compliance Product and work at the intersection of product, policy, and engineering to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and market manipulation across on-chain, fiat, and trading activities.
You will translate global regulatory requirements (MiCA, OFAC, FATF, etc.) into scalable, precise, and efficient product solutions.
If you have deep expertise in AML/CFT systems, a passion for crypto-native risk challenges, and the ability to balance business growth with regulatory rigor, this is a unique opportunity to shape compliance infrastructure at a top-tier exchange.
Key Responsibilities
- **Product Strategy & Execution:**
- Lead the design, development, and continuous improvement of enterprise-level financial crime risk control solutions, covering on-chain transactions, fiat gateways, and trading behavior.
- **Cross-Functional Collaboration:**
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Business teams to implement risk controls that ensure regulatory adherence while enabling smooth user experiences.
- Work closely with Engine, Data, and Backend teams to build scalable risk identification and penalty enforcement systems.
- **System Optimization:**
- Enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and extensibility of AML monitoring and decision-making systems.
- Leverage data analysis, compliance controls, and regulatory interpretation to improve data governance and operational effectiveness.
- **Regulatory Readiness:**
- Stay ahead of global AML/CFT trends (MiCA, OFAC, EU AMLD, FATF).
- Drive product enhancements that support licensing, regulatory audits, local market expansion, and responses to regulatory inquiries.
Requirements
- **Education:**
- Bachelor’s degree or above; Law, Finance, Computer Science, International Trade, or related fields preferred.
- **Experience:**
- 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on AML, anti-fraud, financial crime compliance, or related risk control products.
- **Domain Expertise:**
- Strong understanding of financial crime risks in crypto assets, cross-border payments, DeFi, or digital identity.
- Ability to balance business needs with enforcement requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
- **Problem Solving:**
- Excellent analytical and learning skills.
- Capable of synthesizing audit feedback, regulatory texts, and internal data to find optimal solutions in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
- **Communication:**
- Strong command of English (preferred) to collaborate seamlessly with global compliance and engineering teams.
- Nice to Have
- Background in fintech, payments, virtual assets, or crypto exchanges.
- Experience building decision engines or transaction monitoring systems.
- Familiarity with financial crime detection tools (e.g., LexisNexis, Jumio, Dow Jones, Chainalysis, Elliptic).
- Deep understanding of international AML/CFT regulations (BSA, EU AMLD, FATF, OFAC, MiCA) and associated technical implementation logic.
- Experience supporting payment or trading license applications, maintenance, and regulatory audit responses.
- Proven track record of working across Compliance, Business, Engineering, and Data teams.
- Excellent written and spoken English for effective global collaboration.
Why Join Us?
- **Impact:**
- Design and scale the AML infrastructure that protects millions of users and ensures regulatory excellence at a top 5 global exchange.
- **Growth:**
- Work at the forefront of crypto compliance, shaping solutions that support global expansion and new licensing initiatives.
- **Collaboration:**
