About Airwallex
Airwallex is the AI-native financial operating system for a real-time, intelligent economy. More than 675,000 businesses, including McLaren Racing, Qantas, SHEIN, and TikTok, use us, directly or through our platform partners, to run their financial operations or build and monetize financial products of their own.
We started in Melbourne in 2015 to build the infrastructure global commerce runs on. We're the regulated backbone behind global payments: not by accident, but by design. A decade plus, 85+ licenses, and a financial infrastructure spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific.
We're co-headquartered in San Francisco and Singapore, with more than 2,700 people across 27 offices. We hire builders with founder-level energy, people who move fast with good judgment, dig in with real curiosity, and make calls from first principles rather than waiting to be told what to do. Read our operating principles to see it in full.
How you'll make impact
Lead complex, high-risk anti-money laundering and financial crime investigations across Airwallex’s global financial infrastructure, helping identify and mitigate risks across cross-border payments, corporate accounts, cards, FX and embedded finance.
Own end-to-end investigations involving complex payment flows, multi-currency accounts, ownership structures, cross-product risks, KYB/UBO considerations and high-risk corridors.
Improve the handling of special investigations by overseeing case intake, triage, prioritisation and assignment, and provide investigative analysis, quality assurance and escalation support for SAR/STR matters so regional MLROs can make informed filing decisions.
Investigate internal fraud and insider-threat matters involving fraud, collusion, misuse of access or other conduct with a financial-crime nexus, partnering with Fraud, Information Security, People/HR, Employment Legal and senior management to produce evidence-based findings and risk-based recommendations.
Analyse layered international transactions across SWIFT, local clearing rails, card schemes and alternative payment methods to trace illicit fund movements, identify beneficial owners and uncover hidden counterparty networks.
Translate investigative findings into improvements for transaction monitoring rules, automated detection models, investigative playbooks, typologies, training and broader financial-crime controls.
Partner with Transaction Monitoring, Onboarding and EDD, Sanctions, Fraud, Legal, Risk, Data, Engineering and regional MLROs to address systemic threats, respond to audits and regulatory inquiries, and strengthen investigative standards across the Financial Crime Compliance team.
This is a remote role based in Dallas, Texas.
What we're looking for
Essentials
8+ years of dedicated experience in AML/CFT investigations, financial intelligence or special investigations within cross-border payments, global fintech, merchant acquiring, or international corporate and commercial banking.
Deep understanding of cross-border payment mechanisms, including SWIFT, local ACH and clearing schemes, and FX; business payment flows; merchant acquiring; and corporate entity structures, including complex shareholding, shell companies and beneficial ownership.
A proven track record of independently conducting and documenting complex, multi-layered financial crime investigations from initiation through documented findings, risk recommendations and support to the MLRO-led regulatory reporting process.
Solid working knowledge of global AML/CTF and sanctions regulatory frameworks, including, where applicable, FATF recommendations, FinCEN/BSA, FCA, AUSTRAC, MAS and other relevant local regulatory requirements.
A strong analytical mindset, with experience querying, synthesising and interpreting large datasets of transactional and customer data.
Exceptional written communication skills, demonstrated through investigative narratives and SAR/STR drafting, with the ability to articulate complex financial crime risks to non-compliance stakeholders, including Product and Engineering.
Comfort working in a high-growth and rapidly evolving fintech environment, managing competing priorities under tight deadlines.
Preferred
A professional certification such as CAMS, CFE or an equivalent ICA diploma.
Practical experience with data querying and visualisation tools such as SQL, Python, Tableau or network/link analysis software.
Experience investigating financial crime risks in digital assets or crypto rails, or embedded finance/BaaS integrations.
You'll thrive here if
You’ve operated in a compliance-heavy environment and know how to move fast without cutting the corners that matter.
You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information and moving quickly anyway.
You connect dots across functions and hold the big picture without losing grip on the details.
You simplify complexity rather than hiding behind it.
You say what you mean. You’re direct, but you lead with respect.

Tips for Your Remote Crime Analyst Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote crime analyst openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through postings that require on-site work.
Build a remote-ready analytical portfolio
Compile two or three finished work products, crime maps, pattern analysis reports, or statistical summaries, that show how you structure findings for a remote audience. Hiring managers for remote roles want proof you can communicate conclusions in writing without a whiteboard session.
Highlight async communication skills explicitly
Remote crime analyst teams run on written updates, shared dashboards, and documented workflows. Mention specific practices you use, such as structured situation reports, annotated map packages, or briefing memos, to show you can keep distributed colleagues aligned without real-time meetings.
Target companies with distributed public safety teams
Remote crime analyst openings concentrate at firms that already run multi-region contracts or serve law enforcement clients in several states. Searching for companies with national or multi-state public safety contracts helps you find employers whose infrastructure is built for remote analytical work.
Remote Crime Analyst Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote crime analyst job?
Remote crime analyst roles go to candidates who can demonstrate independent work habits, clear written communication, and proficiency with tools like ESRI ArcGIS, IBM i2, or Palantir before day one. Employers screening for remote hires pay close attention to how well you document findings and communicate conclusions asynchronously. Certifications such as the IACLEA Crime Analyst certification and a portfolio of past analytical products give you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote crime analysts?
Employers currently hiring remote crime analysts include Weis Markets, Airwallex, and McClatchy, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first public safety technology companies, national insurance and fraud analytics firms, and distributed government contractors serving law enforcement clients across multiple jurisdictions.
Can you get a remote crime analyst job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level crime analyst roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from the start without on-site supervision. You can open the door by completing ride-along or volunteer data projects with local law enforcement, building a portfolio of crime mapping or statistical analysis samples, and earning a recognized certificate in crime analysis or GIS.
Do you need a degree for remote crime analyst jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers list a degree in criminal justice, statistics, or a related field as preferred rather than required. What carries weight is demonstrated skill with analytical platforms, GIS tools, and data visualization software, alongside a verifiable record of producing actionable intelligence products that non-technical audiences can use.
Which industries hire the most remote crime analysts?
The sectors hiring the most remote crime analysts are Retail and News & Publishing, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These industries rely on distributed analyst teams to process data from multiple regional sources without requiring analysts to be co-located with the clients or agencies they support.
