Junior Compliance Analyst

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.
