About Obinex

Obinex is building the world’s first fully gamified Centralized Exchange (CEX), blending advanced trading infrastructure with NFT-powered experiences. As we prepare for our first MVP and upcoming fundraising, we are expanding our compliance operations to meet global regulatory requirements.

Role Overview

The Compliance Operations Analyst plays a critical role in supporting Obinex’s global compliance framework, with a focus on monitoring, documentation, regulatory operations, and ensuring day-to-day compliance execution across multiple jurisdictions.

You will work closely with our Head of Legal & Compliance to maintain operational readiness, support licensing activities, and help build scalable processes for onboarding, KYC/AML, reporting, and monitoring.

Experience with Latin American (LatAm) markets is a strong plus, as Obinex plans to expand into regulated regions where local AML, user onboarding, and digital asset compliance requirements differ.

You don't need to take off from your current position while joining us until we secure the fundraising. Therefore, the initial engagement will be half time only with equity compensation until we close the funding (2-3 months).
