About The Team

The Regulatory Reporting team builds and operates Airwallex's automated compliance reporting pipeline across 10+ jurisdictions globally. We own the full data pipeline — transaction classification, FX conversion, entity filtering, report generation, and submission tooling — processing hundreds of millions of financial events monthly.

What You'll Do

You will design, build, and maintain the data pipelines and backend services that produce Airwallex's regulatory reports. This is a high-precision domain — a missed transaction or a misclassified payment type has direct compliance consequences.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain regulatory reporting data models, covering transaction classification, FX conversion, account filtering, and multi-entity aggregation.
• Develop backend services and APIs that power submission tooling, report scheduling, and compliance dashboards.
• Implement data quality checks, reconciliation pipelines, and automated alerting to ensure report accuracy.
• Investigate data anomalies and discrepancies across source systems spanning payments, issuing, wallet, and FX domains.
• Extend AI-assisted tooling: LLM-powered regulatory interpretation, automated gap analysis, and agent-based review workflows.
• Work closely with Compliance to understand new regulatory requirements and translate them into reliable, auditable data models.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and on-call rotation for production reporting systems.
  
  

Who You Are

Minimum qualifications

• Strong SQL skills; comfortable writing complex analytical queries across large datasets.
• Experience with Python or Kotlin/Java for backend services and data pipeline development.
• Solid understanding of distributed systems and data pipeline design.
• Rigorous about data correctness; comfortable working in high-stakes, low-tolerance-for-error domains.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with dbt, Databricks, Spark, or BigQuery in a production analytics engineering context.
• Familiarity with financial transaction data — payment flows, FX, settlement, ledger mechanics.
• Experience in regulatory, compliance, or financial crime data domains.
• Exposure to LLM/agent tooling (RAG pipelines, MCP, tool-use frameworks) in a production context.
• Experience with streaming data (Kafka, Kafka Streams, Flink) and event-driven architectures.
• Knowledge of Kotlin and Spring Boot.
