About the Team
The USDS Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) team is at the forefront of safeguarding TikTok's operations against financial crime. We are responsible for overseeing and operationalizing all aspects of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Sanctions Compliance for TikTok USDS. Collaborating cross-functionally with stakeholders across the U.S. and globally, we tackle complex and cutting-edge challenges, including the identification of money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions violations at scale. We seek a highly motivated, experienced, and dynamic professional to join our team, contributing directly to the integrity and safety of our platform.
To foster strong collaboration and cross-functional partnerships, our organization currently operates on a hybrid work schedule requiring employees to work in the office 3 days a week, or as directed by their manager/department. We regularly review our hybrid work model, and specific requirements may evolve.

- Provide specialized systems expertise and support to internal clients, addressing ad-hoc reporting needs and ongoing system maintenance requirements effectively.
- Drive all aspects of data and functional testing for AML and Sanctions monitoring systems, with a strong focus on effective tuning and adherence to global standards.
- Continuously monitor and rigorously assess the performance of AML and Sanctions systems using advanced data analytics tools, contributing critical insights to key Management Information (MI) reports.
- Lead the end-to-end design, rigorous testing, and precise tuning of new Transaction Monitoring scenarios. Proactively evaluate and improve existing scenarios to ensure accurate behavioral targeting and the generation of highly effective alerts.
- Develop and lead impactful analysis sessions for technology changes, ensure the accuracy and currency of operational procedures and controls, and spearhead the development of Compliance dashboards. Effectively present complex findings and strategic recommendations to diverse stakeholders.
