About Busha

Busha was established in 2018 as a digital currency exchange platform where consumers and merchants can trade digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Busha has made efforts to be a trusted company in this domain and ensure that our platform is easy to use, accessible and user-friendly. Our focus is to use innovation and efficiency to build an open financial system.

There are a few things we look for across all hires we make at Busha, regardless of role or team. We assess whether a candidate demonstrates our values: Clear Communication, Positive Energy, Efficient Execution, and Continuous Learning.

Overview: We are looking for a sharp, mid-level Financial Crime Analyst to join our Compliance team. You will be the "eyes and ears" of our platform, bridging the gap between traditional fiat remittance and the world of virtual assets

You will work with other cross-functional team members and will rely heavily on both qualitative and quantitative data to make informed decisions. Your duties will also include maintaining open communication with other departments during the design process.

Responsibilities:

  • Monitoring: Review real-time alerts for both Fraud (Account Takeovers, Identity Theft) and AML (Layering, Structuring) across fiat and crypto channels.
  • Investigation: Use blockchain forensic tools (e.g., Chainalysis/TRM/Elliptic) to trace crypto flows and bank-level tools to trace fiat "mule" accounts.
  • Reporting: Draft and file SARs/STRs, CTRs, FTRs to the NFIU and prepare internal Fraud Reports for the Head of Legal & Compliance.
  • Mitigation: Act decisively to manage liens and account restrictions on suspected fraudulent inflows to protect the company and its users.


The ideal candidate must have:

  • Experience: 3–5 years in a Fintech, Crypto Exchange, or Digital Banking compliance/fraud role.
  • Tech Savvy: You know your way around a Block Explorer and have experience with automated AML monitoring software.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Strong understanding of CBN, SEC (VASP rules), and NFIU reporting standards.

  • High attention to detail — zero-error mindset.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

  • Integrity, confidentiality, and high professional ethics.


What We Offer:

  • Progressive hybrid work policy
  • Competitive salary
  • Learning and development plan
  • Health insurance & pension
  • Work tools and gadget that works for you
  • A collaborative and inclusive culture
