AML Data Controls Developer

Insight Global is seeking a senior AML Data Controls Developer to join a leading financial institution’s Financial Crime & Risk Management (FCRM) Technology team. In this high-impact role, you will design, develop, and maintain critical data controls and pipelines that power AML transaction monitoring and customer risk rating systems — ensuring data integrity, quality, and compliance at enterprise scale.
You will lead complex data initiatives, collaborate globally to define DQ requirements and controls, build robust Python/SQL-based validation logic, optimize database performance, implement exception management processes, and perform root-cause analysis on data issues. This role demands deep expertise in data lifecycle concepts, payments data flows (SWIFT, ACH, Fedwire), and regulatory compliance systems, along with strong leadership in cross-team requirements gathering and execution.
The ideal candidate brings 10–15+ years of proven experience in SQL/Python data development, has worked extensively in AML/KYC or regulatory compliance environments (ideally with Oracle AML), and thrives in a global, fast-paced setting with time-zone flexibility. This is a rare opportunity to shape mission-critical technology that protects one of North America’s largest banks from financial crime. Pay rate is competitive and reflective of senior expertise.
