Key responsibilities:

• Requirements Gathering & Mapping: Translate the complex needs of local banks and fintechs into actionable system configurations, ensuring alignment with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) mandates and the Anti-Money Laundering Council’s (AMLC) reporting guidelines.
• System Configuration & Typology Design: Work hands-on with the Tazama Rules Engine to configure and calibrate fraud and money laundering typologies (e.g., money mules, account takeovers, velocity anomalies) using incoming ISO 20022 transaction data.
• Workflow Optimization: Design and implement investigative workflows within the Sybrin Compliance Workspace, setting up role-based access (Maker/Checker/Operator) and automated Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for alert triage.
• Regulatory Alignment: Ensure the platform natively supports localized compliance requirements, including the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), by configuring the necessary dispute and hold workflows.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with system integrators, software engineers, and QA teams to validate that the end-to-end flow—from transaction ingestion to case resolution—functions flawlessly.

What You Bring to the Role:

We need someone who understands the nuances of the Philippine financial sector and knows how to implement software that solves real-world compliance headaches.

• Local Market Expertise: Deep understanding of the Philippine financial regulatory landscape, specifically AMLA, BSP circulars, and AMLC CTR/STR reporting standards.

• Technical Aptitude: Familiarity with modern payment architectures and messaging standards (especially ISO 20022 and JSON) to effectively map data into the Tazama engine.
• Analytical Mindset: Strong ability to analyze transaction flows, dissect fraud schemes, and translate them into logical detection rules and typologies.

Exceptional Communication: The ability to speak the language of both software engineers and compliance officers, facilitating clear and productive discussions.

Advantageous Skills :

AI/ML Knowledge: While this role focuses on rule-based detection, a foundational understanding of Machine Learning concepts (such as anomaly detection, probability scoring, or drift monitoring) is a massive plus as we look to augment our systems with predictive models in the future.
