Senior Trader Onboarding Analyst
The Senior Trader Onboarding Analyst at Topstep is a pivotal role within the Trust & Resilience organization, focusing on evaluating complex identity risk profiles and ensuring compliance with the Customer Identification Program (CIP) across global trader pathways. This position operates as a primary risk decision-maker, managing an advanced multi-signal identity orchestration platform to assess intricate risk telemetry, including biometric integrity, synthetic identity indicators, device/IP anomalies, and multi-jurisdictional tax/legal documentation.
Key responsibilities encompass conducting advanced identity risk evaluations, exercising independent authority to grant or deny platform access for low-to-medium risk trader profiles, and analyzing non-routine tax documentation to determine regulatory compliance and tax residency validity. The role also involves assessing secondary sanctions, PEP, and OFAC screening alerts, formulating structured investigative handoffs for high-risk cases, optimizing IDV platform logic and workflows, and serving as a technical subject matter expert for peers across operations and customer support.
Candidates should possess 2-4 years of direct experience in fintech compliance operations, financial crime, identity risk management, or digital platform onboarding. Proficiency in analyzing identity risk signals within modern orchestration platforms, a deep understanding of CIP/KYC frameworks, global identity document standards, OFAC/Sanctions screening protocols, and international tax documentation requirements are essential. The ability to exercise independent analytical judgment in ambiguous risk scenarios and collaborate effectively across remote teams is also crucial.
Topstep offers an engaging working environment that ranges from fully remote to hybrid, fostering a culture of collaboration through regular virtual meetings and a robust communication platform. Employees benefit from seven company-paid holidays, a comprehensive benefits package, and opportunities for professional growth within the organization.
Joining Topstep provides the opportunity to be part of a dynamic team dedicated to innovation in the trading industry, with a focus on risk management and compliance. The company emphasizes continuous learning and development, offering resources and support to help employees advance their careers.
