The role

Truss is a regulated fintech for the construction industry: real bank accounts, real money movement, cards, payables, receivables. Compliance is not a side quest. Every business we onboard and every case we clear has to be accurate, documented, and defensible to our bank partners.We're hiring a **Junior Compliance Analyst** to work our compliance case queue — reviewing documents, running KYC/KYB checks, and researching customers, following policy set by our fraud and risk team. This is a hands-on role for someone with at least a year of detail-heavy compliance, KYC, or fraud ops experience who wants to grow inside a payments company.**This role is in person in Austin, TX starting January 1, 2027. Until then, it's remote.**## What You'll Actually Do* **Work the case queue.** Review onboarding and compliance cases and clear them with crisp, documented reasoning.* **Analyze documents.** Review business formation documents, IDs, bank statements, EINs, licenses, and proof of address — and catch what doesn't match, looks altered, or needs follow-up.* **Run KYC/KYB checks.** Verify individuals and businesses, identify beneficial owners, and clear sanctions/OFAC, PEP, and adverse media hits.* **Research customers.** Dig into businesses and owners using public records, Secretary of State filings, websites, licensing boards, and open sources to confirm they are who they say they are.* **Leave a clean audit trail.** Document every decision, check, and source so any case can be reconstructed by a reviewer, auditor, or bank partner months later.* **Follow and apply policy.** Execute procedures set by our fraud and risk team consistently, and flag gaps, edge cases, and patterns so the policy gets better.* **Escalate well.** Know when a case needs a senior reviewer, and hand it off with the work already done.## What We're Looking For* 1+ years in compliance, KYC/KYB, AML, fraud operations, or banking operations.* Strong attention to detail — you notice when a name, address, or date is slightly off.* Clear written judgment: you can explain why you approved, declined, or escalated a case.* Comfort working a queue with both speed and accuracy.* Curiosity and good research instincts.* Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. (no sponsorship).* Able to work in person in Austin, TX starting January 1, 2027.## Nice to Haves* Familiarity with BSA/AML, CIP/CDD, and OFAC concepts.* Experience with tools like Alloy, Persona, Middesk, Unit21, or similar.* Exposure to fintech, payments, or sponsor-bank / program-manager environments.* Basic SQL or spreadsheet skills.* Interest in construction or small business.## About the Interview* 15-minute phone/video screen* Working session on sample cases and document review* Follow-up interviews
